A manually operated propulsion device is provided for a canoe having a hull with a pair of gunwales, a seat extending directly under the gunwales for a person to operate the device and a thwart spaced away from the seat, extending directly under the gunwales. The device is two propelling mechanisms, in which each propelling mechanism consists of a structure for rotatively securing a drive shaft between the seat and the thwart of the canoe, so that the drive shaft will extend transversely over one of the gunwales of the canoe. A paddle assembly is transversely connected to an outer end of the drive shaft. An apparatus is for manually rotating an inner end of the drive shaft by the person sitting on the seat in the canoe, so that the paddle assembly will contact water thereabout to propel and steer the canoe through the water.
