  • On this episode we put a ‪@Mudskippermotors‬ bolt on retriever clutch system to #azblackpearl on a Mud-skipper 7hp Longtail Drive kit with Harbor Frieght #predator224
    This clutch kit should bolt on to other brands of Thai Longtail kits including 7hp CLP Beaverdam and SPS Swamprunner kits and possibly other longtail kits with the same crankcase bolt pattern. The clutch allows for very slow controlled tight turns, easy idling in place even in the current and easy loading on to a trailer. This also allows for more safety as the propeller stops spinning after the throttle is released. This gives you alot of the advantages of a surface drive combined with a longtail. This is a very innovative new product to the longtail world. Hope you enjoy this install and demonstration.

    It always me with the bad vibes
    I see no reason for a clutch on a long tail
    It just something that might somehow fail not to mention it cost money
    If a boat was a wheeled vehicle perhaps a clutch would help
    But a boat is not
    Just idle down and pick theu prop out of the water
    This may well be new and innovative
    I wonder if the taiwanese run clutches on small on their small long tails
    I world find that hard to believe

    • @azlongtales
      @azlongtales  Před rokem

      It's not 100% necessary but it's pretty convenient. Especially for duck hunting with dogs. Obviously a direct drive will always have the best power transfer. But it definitely helps the learning curve with new people for using a longtail.
