The canoe puller was designed and constructed to aid fishermen pull their canoe. The mechanise pulling was achieved by designing and fabricating the machine required to pull the canoe offshore. This study sought to ease the minds and strength of the fishermen who think the only means of pulling the canoe is using their hands and strength. The concept design for the canoe-pulling machine was based on general evaluation criteria such as components, materials, cost, safety, maintenance, and accessibility, which enabled the researcher to arrive at the final project design. The construction was done to aid in pulling the canoe to ensure that persons (fishermen) who are done with their daily activities will not go through the hell of struggling to pull the canoe with their hands and strength. The maximum von misses’ stress recorded was 24.16 MPa while deformation was 28.5 mm. The mass, area, and volume of the designed canoe puller were 111.39 kg, 2.53 m2, and 14.99 m3 respectively. The design and construction of the canoe puller eliminate dependence of manpower for canoe pulling.
