I go boating alot. If i throw this into a river will it float, and can I attach my dogs leash to the generator?

Do NOT attach this to your dog. That is a terrible thing to say. Unless you really, really don't like your dog. Like if he pees on your Persian rugs or poops in your slippers, then make sure you use a chain or something sturdy to tie him to this unit to make certain he doesn't break free.

If you attach a short rope between the handle and your neck before you throw it in, sure it will float. There is no generator on this unit so feel free to tie your dog to another generator before you thow this unit in the lake.

Be aware that this is not a generator it's a power source. This power source will run out of power if you don't recharge it.

Sounds like he wants to attach his dog to this and then throw in the river... bad human, bad!

It will not float. you can attach your dog to the unit but if it's a big dog the dog will pull it around.

Nope - You have to raise it straight up to get it out of the water. Doesn't work like units on a regular boat.

We roll ours up and tie it to one of the dock posts when we are not using it. It could be easily tied to back of boat if you have platform on the back of your boat.

the paddle will float for a few moments but eventually can fill with water and sink. If you are paddling and drop the paddle you probably wont lose it but it you leave it it the water too long it will eventually sink. I have never had to worry about it and have dropped my paddle plenty of times.

It would absolutely survive a river run. There are some sturdy loops you can use to connect this to others. We've had one for about 7 years now and use it heavily for lounging out in the lake all summer long. It's faded and worn looking, but structurally great. It's the "anchor" for our flotilla too. We connect an anchor and 2 to 5 more floats to it. It's awesome!

the battery does not get affected if the boat fills uyp with water (which rarely happens- only if it overturns), just take it out of the water-

Ok I just went out and looked at then D rings, they look strong enough to hold a 5lb. anchor and will hold you and the float tube in a brisk wind. I should get an anchor myself as I had a couple of issues last season on our lake where I had to peddle fairly hard against a breeze to get back to shore. I'm considering a small extended propeller I can operate with and battery powered drill. On the main bladder question. I used my compressor and blower attachment with the rubber tip. Pressed it in to the valve stem and pressed the release and blew it up in seconds. The compressor was at 75lbs. I hope this helps.

no it cant float, like it is writen on the box. You have some other boats that float i think it is from lego city collection.

I have mine on a party barge so I don't travel that fast very often. But I don't see why not. I had left it up once when pulling it on the trailer at 50 - 55 for about 4 miles without a problem. The best thing to do is check with the manufacture for their recommendations.

I think it could be used in the water. But not as a floating device. But I don't think it would weight down your dog in the water either.

It's possible to make it float but you would have to ballast it as you build it. Without the ballast it's very top heavy and will capsize.

Never put it in the water - but it's pretty heavy... It probably won't float - but I'm not positive.

I would say yes but watch out for the wind!!! It can blow you all over. I use mine on a river float fishing and can maneuver great in the calm flat parts in front of my camper. Just watch the wind lol. Hope this helps.

Your dog should be ok. The life jacket keeps the dog's head above the water so he/she should not need to do the dog paddle to stay afloat.

dont know probably the water keep flowing hope it waters ur yard. I anchored mine to a plywood square just so it would not move around i guess i solved the overturning problem without meaning to. Works great. Good luck w urs

I've been using it on a calm lake. If it is a rough river, that you need to make it upstream it may be hard. The paddles aren't the best, there is no foot pressure to get the full thrust of each stroke. One day i was out and it was pretty windy and i could barely keep moving against the wind. That said, if you are going on a river that is fairly calm or you are just traveling with the current it should be fine. I'd watch out for shallow rocks, as I saw one of these tear by scraping on a rock when being put into the water.

I wouldn't. Oars don't work too well. Floor isn't sturdy for rapids. Nothing to hold onto for rapids. Shallow boat I think it would tip easy. Good boat for floating or fishing that is about it.
