can you put a electric motor on this?

I ordered one and there is a transom on the starboard side in the aft. I have not put it in yet. A friend of mine that sails thinks it should work. The electric motor is a little heavy for me to lift from my dock to the boat. Good luck.

Yes you can , there is a small built in mount at the rear and you can put the battery in one of the back foot wells or the cooler . I had one mounted on the boat before this one and ran all over our lake and it was real quiet .

Yes. But the max power is said to be 3 HP or less. There is a transom on the rear right deck. Some measure may be needed to secure a motor to it.

a trolling motor can be used so long as you buy the trolling motor mount which is also available on Amazon. We have tossed the idea around a bit ourselves, but so far I prefer to pedal as it is so quiet I can easily sneak up on wildlife :)

There's room to put an electric motor on it but it does not come pre-drilled, nor does it have any mounts already set up for the motor. You'll have to find a motor that has some kind of clamp that will fasten down to the actual boat itself. Hope that helps

Yes, according to the manufacturer, though I haven't done so yet. There is a small flat area on the inside of the right-rear compartment that is meant to be used to attach a trolling motor. Drawback would appear to be the need to sit facing backwards in order to control a simple trolling motor. Also, so far as I can tell, the battery would need to sit unsecured on the floor of the boat. I wasn't aware of the mount mentioned by M. Evans but may look into it to see if it makes mounting a motor easier.

In order to install a small trolling motor (which is the max that would be possible..), you would have to modify the stern to include an engine mount. None is included on the craft from the manufacturer.

if there is a motor available that fits, then yes, but where does the power supply to that motor go?

Yes, with a 3000mah battery or greater and in 5-7 second intervals! If starter is held for to long 550 motor will turn inside and twist wiring due to over heating! Hope this helps and have a blast!

Yes, it can. It has two independient motors and you can vary their speed using PWM (Sorry for my english, i'm not proficient).

I would not. Although it does have an enamel coating on the cage/body of the fan, I think the motor would be susceptible to rusting/shorting. This is really more of an air mover for a workshop/warehouse. It's like an airplane prop.

I believe I remember reading someplace that you can, but, the extra voltage is hard on motor if used excessively.

no. the small motor is strictly 110 volt. you would need to reduce the input voltage to 110.

Short answer is no. You could possibly hook up a variable speed controller but that might burn out the motor - haven't tried this.

yes you can i got a motor like the one above it will work fine with any position horizone vertical side way or up side down try it out i guess it alway work nomatter what way you want to put it ... that correct ..

I don't believe so sounds like your talking about an electric motor this tool is designed for car engine , if it looks like it would work that's up to you to buy and try.

Yes it comes with the electric motor. All you need is a marine battery . Great little boat, loadsof fun.

Personally, I doubt it. An electric motor will need nearly twice the rated power that it shows is required just to start it. Once started, it will require less. This is true for all electric powered devices. Please look at the information plate on your blower and see the electrical requirement it needs. I do believe you will need MUCH more than this little 150 watt unit.

You can add a motor to this model? Do you know where I could find one of those?

I have no idea. If it is securely mounted i can't see why not. It is not a fluid driven motor

I think so but I didn't buy the motor for me - it was a gift but my daughter talked about getting a motor for it so I think so.

never tried it ,motors are DC should be possible. Safety first E mail factory!

You'd need a 12v power source that can provide a decent amount of steady current for that motor - four AAs wouldn't have enough juice to run this. You'd be better off with a small AC adapter similar to your phone charger - just make sure it's a 12v adapter.
