Abstract
A portable propulsion system for a watercraft may include a shaft, a propeller, an outer casing, and a flexible strap. The shaft may have a prop end section, a drive end section, and a rotational axis extending from the prop end section to the drive end section. The propeller may be connected to the prop end section of the shaft. The drive end section may be configured for removable connection to a driver for rotation of the propeller via rotation of the shaft about the rotational axis to propel the watercraft. The outer casing may be disposed around the shaft. The flexible strap may have first and second end sections connected to the outer casing in respective first and second regions.

A portable propulsion system for a watercraft, comprising:
- a shaft having a prop end section, a drive end section, and a rotational axis extending from the prop end section to the drive end section;
- a driver;
- a propeller coupled to the driver, the propeller being associated with the shaft and connected to the prop end section, and wherein the drive end section is configured for removable connection to the driver to facilitate rotation of the propeller via rotation of the shaft about the rotational axis to propel the watercraft;
- an outer casing disposed around the shaft;
- and
- a flexible strap having a first end section and a second end section, the first end section being connectable to the outer casing in a first region distal the drive end section of the shaft, the second end section being coupled to the outer casing in a second region proximal the drive end section of the shaft.
