It says motor mount fittings on the raft. Does that mean I can get a trolling motor and put it on without any other attachments?

Intex Motor Mount Kit for Intex Inflatable Boats this is what you need for this particular model. I've used for a year and it's solid as a rock.

the boat does have the mount fittings but you have to buy the motor mount itself and then you could put the trolling motor on to it it is a very simple setup

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.

I can't answer that. I used a human motor but I believe you can get a mount and electric motor for it. Hope someone else was able to help you.

You need the motor mount that attached to the back of the boat. Also, I used a marine battery for my motor. It has to be a marine battery not a normal car battery. Other then that just the trolling motor, motor mount, and battery is all you need.

I don't think any of them will work contrary to the picture. The indentation for the motor is too small. When you tighten the screws on the motor mount it starts to slide off. You'd have to mount some thin pieces of wood on either side to get a motor to fit snugly. I haven't figured anything else out yet. Other than that it's a great little boat.

yes! You can use the small sevylor electric motor with the mount from sevylor.

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 :)

The seat is fixed, in order to use the paddles. I purchased a 5" swivel to be able to use my 52lb thrust trolling motor. Note......once you add a swivel, you will be sitting to high to use the paddles. I simply purchased a back up battery, as you can't go wrong with a trolling motor.

If you are asking whether it has battery connection lugs built in, then the answer is no. It does not. If you are asking whether it has fore and aft plates to mount/clamp your trolling motor, then yes it does.

Not sure what you had before, but I went from MinnKota 30 to MAX 50 on my inflatable pontoon (which has motor mount similar to yours) and the fit was the same -- just a little heavier. I've loved this upgrade. More power, infinite variable speeds, and longer run times. Made a big difference in my enjoyment on the water and my fishing success.

Hello Frank O,A trolling motor for this boat is problematic. Not only is the engine mount somewhat inadequate, but controlling the direction would be a problem as well. A trolling motor would require some form of extended control arm in order to reach to one of the two front seats. Also, battery placement and running the power cables is a factor as well. I have owned the boat a year now along with a top of the line trolling motor and have really not come up with a way to make it work seamlessly. Recommend enjoying the boat and finding another way to get around electrically! All the best....J Hello Frank O,A trolling motor for this boat is problematic.

If you have the SeaHawk boat you will need a motor mount kit to attach a motor. Search for Intex Motor mount. BACKSTORE

I attach mine from the side of the kayak and paddle just slow enough that water does not flow over top. trolling at the same time makes it worth it. When I need to paddle faster I pull it inside the kayak first.

I don't have a solstice raft to know for sure what size things are on it, but it looks like the 4, 5, and 6 person rafts come with the "mount brackets" for a motor mount. I'd bet this would attach on the back fine, but I doubt the tubes included would be the correct length to come to the forward mounts. Yet an easy solution to that problem would be to buy a 8 foot section of 1/2 inch metal "electrical conduit" (which goes for $6 at the hardware store) and cut it to whatever length you need. That is virtually the same diameter (~3/4 inch) and you can drill holes in it to have the bolts included in this kit fit thru and secure it just as shown for the included tubes.

Yes u have to drill 4 holes in the boat for it and it mounts on the bottom of the trolling motor

I'm not sure. I used the motor for a different purpose than to hang something. Sorry

I believe you can attach one that is available, but is not included with the boat

I could not tell you how to mount it, but I can tell you that it is plenty powerful. It is the only motor that I use on my vintage 12' x 5' Aluminum Ouachita jonboat with two heavy adults with the largest battery I could find along with about 50 ponds of gear and it gets us around great. Hope you have fun. I would strongly recommend this motor.

We bought the SE9 ...it did not come with a trolling motoer, we already had a trolling motor. We needed a boat we could inflate and this boat worked very well.
