Abstract
A system for mounting a motorized cassette to a watercraft body comprises a mounting assembly configured to releasably secure the system to the watercraft body, a housing, a tiller, and a motorized cassette. The housing includes a receiving space and the motorized cassette is configured to be at least partially inserted into the receiving space. Manipulation of the tiller causes rotation of the housing relative to the mounting assembly such that the tiller can be used to steer the watercraft body.
Claims20
A system for propelling a watercraft, the system comprising:
- a mounting assembly configured to couple the system to a watercraft body;
- a motorized cassette attached to and offset from the mounting assembly, the motorized cassette enclosing an electric drive system comprising at least one electric motor, the motorized cassette having a substantially planar surface with at least one water intake port and at least one water exhaust port disposed thereon, the at least one water intake port and at least one water exhaust port in fluid communication with the electric drive system;
- and
- a tiller, wherein manipulation of the tiller causes rotation of the motorized cassette relative to the mounting assembly.

1 more element
A system for propelling a watercraft comprising:
- a mounting assembly;
- and
- a housing offset from the mounting assembly and coupled to a tiller such that manipulation of the tiller causes rotation of the housing relative to the mounting assembly, the housing including a downward facing receiving space configured to receive a motorized cassette inserted from below, the motorized cassette having a substantially planar bottom surface having at least one water intake port and at least one water exhaust port disposed thereon.
