[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1506619, member: 18945"] I have a pond almost covered in lily pads, in the narrower parts completely choked off that I can't get my boat thru it with paddle or trolling motor. I need to cut a path thru it, so I can put my small spar tank in the boat and spray some them to keep part of the pond open..a little at a time. Depth is anywhere from 4' to 8' currently. I just want to open some channels so I can get thru it easier to spray and because of some health issues, I need to stay out of the water and muck. I noticed that my trolling motor does a mediocre jup of cutting the stalks of the lilies where I can get thru and thought........... I have a good, but old Stihl weed eater with a brush blade attachment. (I use the saw blade, not the 3 pointed blade) Can I, without harm to the gear end, use it from the boat, drop the business end down in the water about 2 feet to cut the risers of the lily pads enough to get the boat thru it? Is that rotating mass going to cause a wreck when I hit the throttle of the weedeater engine? Thoughts? (don't suggest airboat..don't have one and the pond just isn't big enough to put one in..don't have a gas engine outboard either and don't want to get one) [/QUOTE]
