It's propelled with a paddle (5)
I believe the answer is:
canoe
'it's propelled with a paddle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for canoe that I've seen before include "River craft" , "Boat one paddles" , "Small and light boat, pointed at both ends" , "Hunting vessel originating in Haiti" , "A dugout" .)
