Retractable Propeller Driven Pedal System and Method of Use

Abstract

A retractable propeller driven pedal system for assembly onto a watercraft is disclosed. The retractable propeller driven pedal system converts an input from a user into a motive force for propelling the watercraft. The system comprises (i) an elongated drive unit having a distal end and a proximal end which comprises a head unit having at least two head unit grooves; (ii) a propeller arm which has a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the proximal end has two circular openings positioned to connect with head unit and the circular openings each have an extension with an aperture configured to receive a latch. The proximal end of the drive unit and proximal end of the propeller arm attach to form an articulation center which pivots around a first pivot point. A method for using a retractable propeller driven system is also disclosed

I claim: 
     
         1 . A retractable propeller driven pedal system for assembly onto a watercraft wherein the retractable propeller driven pedal system converts an input from a user into a motive force for propelling the watercraft, wherein the system comprises
 an elongated drive unit having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the proximal end comprises a head unit having at least two head unit grooves;   a propeller arm having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the proximal end has two circular openings positioned to connect with head unit, wherein the circular openings each have an extension with an aperture configured to receive a latch;   wherein the proximal end of the drive unit and proximal end of the propeller arm attach to form an articulation center which pivots around a first pivot point.   
     
     
         2 . A method for using a retractable propeller driven system, wherein the method comprises the steps: (a) assembling or attaching a system of  claim 1  to a watercraft; (b) pivoting the articulation center of the system around a first pivot point in order to place the system in a desired positon; and (c) securing the articulation center in such position.
