Small Motors that Deliver Big

When bigger isn't better, the SWOMP Lite Series is the answer. Built with a rugged and feature-packed design, these motors deliver big on performance. 
Introducing the SWOMP Ultra-Lite

The SWOMP Lite is known for offering an awesome combination of ruggedness and performance, and now there's another option if you're also looking for minimal weight and maximum value.  The SWOMP Ultra-Lite has the features waterfowl hunters have come to depend on from Backwater –– things like the Revo-Clean lower triple bearing and seal system and Surface Tracer cavitation plate –– and we've added new features like the Versa-Mount quick release and a carrying handle to make it unbeatable for ease of use and portability.

We set out to make the lightest frame in this horsepower range, but we didn't sacrifice what has made Backwater motors the best longtail made.  To accomplish this we built the frame with a thinner wall–yet ultra strong–DOM tube and created a dual-density driveshaft using a hollow upper section mated to solid 4140 for the lower bearing and prop end.  Other unique features include a lightweight upper bearing housing and bell housing adapter, billet aluminum handle mounts, and a quick release function allowing separation from the Versa-Mount for easy transport.

SPECIFICATIONS
- Lightweight steel bell housing
- Versa-Mount transom mount with motor quick release
- Triple-sealed long-life lower bearing system In Stainless Steel Housing
- Revo-Clean™ System keeps debris out of lower housing
- Backwater Blade™ Stainless Super weedless propeller
- Surface Tracer CT™ cavitation plate
- 7/8" DOM handle
- Weight: 59 lbs

The SWOMP: Achieving excellence in Performance, Toughness and Reliability

In the few years since we created the new SWOMP motor series design, it has become known by many as best longtail you can buy.  Using a combination of DOM tubing and a CNC'd aluminum bell housing, we have been able to increase performance while reducing the complexity that makes other designs vulnerable.

Most traditional longtails use a universal joint to connect the engine output shaft to the propeller drive shaft.  Sure, u-joints are pretty tough.  But what's even tougher?  Having no u-joint to break at all.  Inside of our bell housing the engine output shaft is connected to the propeller drive shaft with a straight, high horsepower single split clamping coupler.  In addition to being incredibly durable, this design also eliminates the parasitic power loss experienced by u-joint longtails.

 Another key to our performance is the SWOMP frame geometry.  By pivoting from the bellhousing and lowering the angle of the prop entering the water we achieve better directional power transfer and more speed.  This configuration also effectively increases the handle length, giving the driver more controlled leverage and makes the SWOMP even easier to drive.  The final benefit of our design is that we've been able to reduce weight without any sacrifices.

To put it simply, Backwater motors are in a class of their own because we don't just strive for excellence — we achieve it.
