Has anyone ever tried to make one? Its basically a motor with a prop attached to a aluminum dock pole, priced at $2,000. I was thinking about using a battery powered trolling motor, or possibly some type of pump. I have tons of weeds floating up to my shoreline.

Seaweed? Well.. If the marina is CLEAN harvest and eat them.

Otherwise... Sink dirt cheap materials made from fibrous pulp. Kinda like laying down newspapers to kill grass

Im looking to do the same thing. I've had some decent success so far just using my 55lb thrust trolling motor but want something stronger and ideally more automated.

Does anyone know what make and type of motor are used in these thruster. I to would like to have a go at making one.
