Abstract
A watercraft has floats supporting a bicycle-type frame having handlebars connected to a rudder to steer the watercraft. Side boards located on opposite sides of the frame are mounted on cross bars which support the frame on the floats. A chain and sprocket foot operated drive is connected to a shaft journaled to a housing accommodating a power transmission for rotating a propeller. A chain guard is located on opposite sides of the chain connecting the shaft and foot operated drive. The housing is movable between a down location wherein the chain is retained in a tension condition to an up location wherein the chain is in a loose condition.
