METHOD AND KIT FOR CONVERTING A NON-MOTION DECOY TO A MOTION DECOY

1 . A method for converting a non-motion decoy into a motion decoy, comprising:

removing at least a portion of a keel from the non-motion decoy;

properly orienting a motion drive system relative to a body of the non-motion decoy; and

mounting the motion drive system to the body in order to convert the non-motion decoy into a motion decoy.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the removing of at least a portion of the keel includes cutting the at least a portion of the keel from the body of the non-motion decoy.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further including using a bracket to mount the motion drive system to the body of the decoy.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the removing of at least a portion of the keel includes cutting the weighted portion of the keel from the keel mounting flange that is left attached to the body.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the mounting of the motion drive system includes fastening the motion drive system to the keel mounting flange.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the fastening includes drilling at least two holes in the keel mounting flange and securing the motion drive system to the keel mounting flange by engaging fasteners in the at least two holes.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein mounting the motion drive system to the body includes drilling at least two holes in the keel mounting flange and securing the motion drive system to the keel mounting flange by engaging fasteners in the at least two holes.

8 . A method for converting a non-motion decoy into a motion decoy, comprising:

providing a kit including a motion drive system adapted for mounting to the non-motion duck decoy, a fastener adapted for securing the motion drive system to the non-motion duck decoy and an instruction sheet for mounting the motion drive system to the non-motion duck decoy.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further including providing a template for drilling holes in a keel of the non-motion duck decoy to allow mounting of the motion drive system to the keel of the non-motion duck decoy.

10 . A kit for converting a non-motion decoy into a motion decoy, comprising:

a motion drive system adapted for providing motion to a converted decoy;

a fastener adapted to secure the motion drive system to a body of the non-motion decoy; and

instructions for completing the conversion of the non-motion decoy into a motion decoy.

11 . The kit of claim 10 , further including a mounting template adapted for drilling at least one mounting hole in a keel of the body of the non-motion decoy.

12 . The kit of claim 11 , further including a mounting bracket carried on the motion drive system and adapted to receive said fastener to secure the motion drive system at the at least one mounting hole in the keel.

13 . The kit of claim 12 , wherein the motion drive system includes a bilge pump and a timer and controller adapted for controlling operation of the bilge pump.

14 . The kit of claim 13 , wherein the motion drive system further includes a power source adapted to power the bilge pump.

15 . The kit of claim 14 , wherein the power source is a rechargeable battery, a rechargeable capacitor or a combination thereof.

16 . The kit of claim 15 , further including a bit adapted for drilling a hole in the body of the non-motion decoy wherein the hole is adapted for receiving the fastener.

17 . The kit of claim 15 , further including a water tight case holding the power source and the timer and controller.

18 . The kit of claim 16 , further including a cutting device adapted for cutting off at least a portion of a keel of the body of the decoy before mounting the motion drive system to the body of the decoy.

19 . The kit of claim 10 , wherein the motion drive system further includes a power source adapted to power the bilge pump.

20 . The kit of claim 17 , wherein the power source is a rechargeable battery, a rechargeable capacitor or a combination thereof.
