The hand blower was used on the Santa Margarita recovery. It is a Sears trolling motor that was sealed and had a long cable attached to an array of batteries on the boat. They worked very well except that they were high maintenence and wore out quickly.
In retrospect it would be better to put the motor in an underwater housing just like you would a camera.
The protective shroud around the prop is a plastic bread basket.
The handles are from a kids bike. The electrical switch is from a motorcycle.
Simple, cheap and it worked.
