Abstract: A human-powered, foot or hand operated paddle propulsion system for a variety of differently sized and configured watercraft. A rigid supporting subframe attaches the system to an end of the watercraft. A spaced-apart terminus is wedged towards a boat seat base. The terminus and subframe cooperatively secure the system within the boat. The subframe has a C-shaped bow plate coupling it to the boat end. The paddle assembly is removably quick-connected to the bow plate. Knobbed, slidably adjustable mounting bolts captivate the subframe upon the bow. The frame comprises a pair of adjustable, telescoping frame beams that enable it to retract or extend. The frame supports an adjustable actuating assembly including foot-operated pedals and optional hand bars for powering the boat. Cabling links the actuating assembly to the drive paddle assembly. Slidable captivation of the activating assembly upon the frame facilitates cable length and tension adjustments.
