ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of retrieving a radio-controlled fuel-powered model boat is disclosed. The apparatus includes a pivot arm, with a pinion gear and an idler gear, that is attached to the shaft of a secondary motor. The idler gear in said pivot arm engages a driven gear that turns the model boat's propeller shaft by transferring the secondary motor shaft's rotation through gears to the propeller shaft. The apparatus includes a movement limiting bracket that limits the pivot arm's movement to either engage or disengage the driven gear attached to the model boat's propeller drive shaft.
