The Scavenger Backwater Motors
The Scavenger design started over eight years ago when a customer asked the Wells family to make an outboard motor for shallow water use. What developed was a virtually indestructible propeller that could withstand mud, rocks, weeds and whatever else a boater could encounter. A machine so light and durable, yet so simple that anyone could service it. A Scavenger was born!
We at The Basics Water & Land Services strive for customer satisfaction, and we are sure you will be thrilled with your SCAVENGER BACKWATER BOAT MOTOR.
THE PROPELLER
We use an auger type prop that cuts through vegetation easily. It is made of auger plating and will withstand rocks, mud, tree limbs, etc. It is 9" in diameter for that extra push. The skeg and upper surface fin direct the water through the prop. The tubular construction of the shaft cover is uncluttered and will allow the motor to slip through congested areas without tangles. The auger type propeller is designed to protect your engine from damage if you do run aground. By profiling the propeller correctly, " each blade is 180' of the arc", we have managed to maintain contact throughout the full rotation of the propeller preventing damage to the component parts of your machine due to vibration. This is a common problem with our competitor's models as they use a standard propeller design.
THE DRIVE
The belt drive is the shock absorber for the Scavenger. This eliminates costly repairs to the machine for when you do run it aground. Scavengers are made to take the punishment of rocks and weeds encountered in shallow water applications. The see through guard enables you to monitor the drives condition. The belt, Kevlar reinforced, can be easily replaced and is an "off the shelf" product. The propeller is designed to keep debris out of the bearing area, ensuring long life of the sealed bearings.
THE HANDLE
The large handle makes it easier to handle the motor while maneuvering in the water. The handle allows for a full 90 degree turn capability. Similar to zero turn lawn mowers. You can reach the handle from any location without a problem.
Think Safety, engine shut off tethers are standard on all Scavenger models.
