Description
Aquatic Mower | Cut Lake Weeds Directly From Your Boat
The Aquatic Mower gives you a wide, controlled cutting path through unwanted aquatic vegetation without relying only on manual shoreline tools.
This battery-powered weed cutter mounts to your boat and reaches up to 5 feet below the water. Its lightweight frame, adjustable mount and reciprocating blade system help you maintain swimming areas, fishing lanes, boat paths and waterfront access points.
- 4 ft wide self-sharpening sickle cutter bar
- Cuts up to 5 ft below the surface
- 1/4 HP oil-cooled electric motor on 12-volt DC power
- Adjustable aluminum transom mount, optional deck mount bracket
- Backed by a 2-year warranty

Maintain Cutting Performance With Less Blade Maintenance
The Aquatic Mower uses self-sharpening sickle-style cutter teeth. The reciprocating upper and lower blades move against each other to slice through submerged vegetation.
This design reduces the need for frequent manual sharpening and supports dependable cutting throughout the season.
- 15 upper cutter blades
- 16 lower cutter blades
- 4-foot-wide cutting assembly
- Compact pin-and-channel drive


Built for Consistent Underwater Cutting
The 1/4 HP oil-cooled motor provides steady cutting power while operating from a 12-volt battery.
The sealed electric system is a practical alternative to gas-powered equipment. Low power consumption supports longer cutting sessions without fuel storage, exhaust or engine maintenance.
- 1/4 HP electric motor
- 12-volt DC operation
- Durable steel drive shaft
- Low-maintenance power system
Cut Up to 5 Feet Below the Surface
Adjust the cutting position based on your boat, water depth and vegetation. The 4-foot cutter bar helps you cover more area during each pass.
Mechanical cutting lets you choose where vegetation gets removed. Open selected swimming areas, fishing lanes, navigation paths and shoreline access points while leaving other vegetation in place.
- Maximum cutting depth of 5 feet
- 4-foot cutting width
- Upper depth-adjustment collar
- Safety switch with fail-safe control

Make Your Waterfront Easier to Use
Target the aquatic vegetation interfering with boating, swimming, fishing and shoreline access.
Reduce Manual Cutting
Cover a wider area from your boat than most handheld weed cutters.
Open Boat Paths
Cut navigation lanes and reduce weeds tangling around your boat motor.
Improve Fishing Access
Clear casting lanes and travel paths through dense aquatic vegetation.
Battery-Powered
Operate without gas, fuel storage, engine exhaust or pull-starting.
What You Need to Know
12-Volt Battery Required
The battery and power source are not included. Purchase a compatible 12-volt battery locally before operation.
Recommended Cleanup Step
Collect cut vegetation with a lake rake or collection tool when practical. Removing clippings keeps floating weeds away from docks and swimming areas.
Manage Seasonal Growth
Repeat cutting as needed when aquatic vegetation returns during the season.
Compare manual, powered and boat-mounted weed cutting tools.
Open Swim Areas, Boat Paths and Fishing Lanes
The Aquatic Mower combines a 4 ft self-sharpening cutter bar, a 1/4 HP oil-cooled motor and 12-volt battery power so you can cut submerged lake weeds right from your boat.
See the Mounting & Setup tab for installation and the Videos tab for assembly instructions.
Mounting & Setup
Mount the Aquatic Mower to Your Boat
The standard Aquatic Mower uses an adjustable aluminum transom mount. An optional Deck Mount Bracket is available for select boats and pontoons where a lower-profile or closer mounting position is preferred.
Standard Adjustable Transom Mount
Set the cutting angle and depth based on your boat, water depth and vegetation. The adjustable mount supports boat-mounted underwater cutting without permanently fixing the mower to one cutting position.
Install a compatible 12-volt battery, confirm the mower is securely mounted, set the desired cutting depth, and make sure the safety control is accessible to the operator.
Optional Deck Mount Bracket for Select Boats and Pontoons
The optional Deck Mount Bracket provides a secure mounting point where a lower-profile installation or closer mounting position is preferred. It works well for select boat and pontoon deck configurations; review your boat layout before selecting the bracket.

- Stable connection to compatible decks
- Designed for select boats and pontoons
- Available as an optional product selection

FAQs
Aquatic Mower FAQs
Answers about power, cutting depth, blades, mounting and runtime.
How is the Aquatic Mower powered and what power source do I need?
The Aquatic Mower uses 12-volt DC battery power. A compatible 12-volt battery and power source are required and are not included with the mower.
How deep can it cut and how adjustable is the depth?
It can cut up to 5 feet below the water surface. The mount and upper depth-adjustment collar let you set the cutting position based on your boat, water depth and vegetation.
What makes the blades low-maintenance?
The mower uses reciprocating self-sharpening sickle-style cutter teeth. The upper and lower blade sets move against each other during operation, reducing the need for frequent manual sharpening.
Does the Aquatic Mower handle different types of aquatic vegetation?
It is designed to cut common submerged aquatic weeds and dense aquatic vegetation. Performance varies with plant type, stem toughness, density, cutting depth and operating conditions.
What does it weigh and how easy is mounting to the boat?
The Aquatic Mower weighs 48 lbs. It includes an adjustable aluminum transom mount, and an optional Deck Mount Bracket is available for select boat and pontoon deck layouts.
How durable is the mower for long-term use?

What safety features does the Aquatic Mower include?

How long will one battery charge last?
Aquatic Mower product materials advertise operation for up to about 6 hours on a suitable 12-volt battery. Actual runtime depends on battery capacity, battery condition, vegetation density and operating conditions.
Should I remove the cut weeds?
Yes, when practical. Collecting cut vegetation with a lake rake or collection tool keeps floating weeds away from docks and swimming areas.

Lake Mower
I bought my mower in 2005 and use every year to cut lilly pads in front of my boat house. Best investment i ever made.
-
Works like promised.
We have an area in our pond with lots of water lilies and were looking for a eco-friendly way to get rid of them. The mower worked well for cutting the lilies but it takes to people in the boat. One to run the trolling motor and one in front with the mower to keep weeds from wrapping around the arm after they're cut.
-
Performs as Advertised
I am using the cutter for about two acres of "water shield". So far it has performed reliably and set up was fairly easy. A couple comments: it is awkward and heavy. Attached to front of Jon boat and pushed forward. In thick weeds would have one person keeping weeds from building up on cutter arm (drag issue), and if you are paddling - have at least two doing it in thick weeds.

purchase another
I purchased this cutter last spring and it works really well.we might be interested in buying another after the first of this year.we are hoping it will cut down the use of chemicals
