Is it ok to attach it to the paddle boat?

The Kota recommends a circuit breaker? Where do you get the circuit breakers?

it (the motor) is very light, but the battery that you will need is CRAZY heavy. If you put the battery in the center of the paddle boat (I remember my parents one had a space in back) it will be ok. Those batteries weigh about 50lbs. They are called deep cycle batteries and should be hooked up to a battery tender while not in use. Batteries Plus Lights helped me pick the right one and a matching tender. I use the motor on a small fishing boat only every other weekend and I have had no problem since I got the "tender". Nice lil motor, I'm very happy with it.

If you can design a mounting solution and a safe way to carry the battery, which is very heavy, I don't see why not. Keep in mind the battery will weigh at least as much or more then the motor. It certainly has enough power to move you right along!

You may be able to do that on a clear calm day. If there are wave and/or wind, this little boat could have problems. It would be hard to row against a current or into the wind. I recommend lakes, slow rivers and streams and maybe ocean bays or shielded coves. Good luck. You should have plenty of fun. By the way, all these precautions apply to any of the small lightweight inflatable boats.

The poles come with a plastic base where there are two screw holes drilled. The end of the pole is flattened with a hole in the middle to attach the pole to base with kotter pin.As long as the side of your boat is wide enough for the bracket to sit on then it should be no problem. The bracket base is about an 1" or less wide.

Absolutely. I love that boat. Do not over inflate. You will get years of use.

Not too bad, but it is a square fronted boat. I wouldn't want to paddle a long distance.

I don't think so. There is no little hole or run off into the water on the hull or otherwise. Everything is inflatable (arm rests, back rest, foot rest, cup holder. The only thing not inflatable are the paddle holders on the side, they are rubber and the net in front and rubber keel on bottom.

Sure but Ido not know how you'd attach it. We use it on our boat and it is fabulous

Yes just make sure the battery connector is compatible with the boats connector.

Yes. I bought this product, only to learn that I can't install it on my boat because it needs to be secured with a aluminum plate under the deck or will likely pull loose.

Yes. No problem, as long as the kayak is inflated enough so that the ends don't droop to the ground.

I haven't tried to use a paddle, but I'm sure if you check the manufacturer's website you could either find the attachment, or at least a number to call them to find out.

It works really well on our boat, that said, I think it shouldn't be an issue.

Probably, but it also depends on the size and model of your boat. If your using skinny sit in, it is probably is too much paddle. If your on a wide sit on top it might suit your needs...

As a boater I would say NO. I don't think it is stable enough for that use.

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

This is a great motor but I'm not sure it would be good for an inflatable boat- not sure how you would attach it

To tell you the truth, it's not really needed on this kayak. Its a very sturdy build. Try kayaking without it, you will be surprised.
