Step 2: match the motor
Which motor fits which inflatable boat.
8 ft Battle Cat and Battle Boat: up to 6 hp
2 people and 600 lb. Within the rating: Yamaha 2.5, 4 and 6 HP (the 6 is right at the rating), and the Torqeedo Travel XS, Travel S and Travel XP. The Travel XS is the natural electric match.
10 ft Battle Cat and Battle Boat: up to 10 hp
4 people and 1,000 lb. Within the rating: Yamaha 2.5, 4 and 6 HP, the 9.9 HP as a configuration to evaluate, and all three Torqeedo Travel motors. With a full crew, more power feels less leisurely.
12 ft Battle Cat and Battle Boat: up to 20 hp
4 people and 1,200 lb. Every motor we carry sits within the rating. The Yamaha 9.9 HP is an all-around match; the 15 HP is the most power we carry. The smaller motors run it at easy speeds with a light crew.
Every Rover takes a short shaft
All six Rover boats list a 15 in transom, so they take a short-shaft motor: 15 in on a Yamaha, 62.5 cm on a Torqeedo. None of these is an automatic fit approval: check your exact boat, motor weight, mounting and total load.

Before you order
Three checks before you pair a boat and a motor.
01. Read the boat rating
Check the horsepower and motor-weight limits on your actual boat and model year. Electric motors still count against the rating, and a battery adds weight on the transom.
02. Match the shaft
Use the shaft length your transom calls for. Rover Marine boats have a 15 in transom and take a short shaft. Do not pick a longer shaft just to get electric start or power tilt.
03. Plan the complete rig
Confirm mounting, steering clearance, propeller, fuel or charging, and any starting-battery needs. Count passengers, motor, fuel or battery and gear in the boat's load.
Setup
Bag to water, motor on, in about 15 minutes.
Unroll it, shape the tubes, floor to 10 PSI, tubes to 3 PSI, clamp on the motor and go.
- 1Unroll it.Take it out of the bag and lay it flat where you want to launch.
- 2Floor to 10 PSI, tubes to 3 PSI.About 10 to 15 minutes with a high-output pump.
- 3Paddles and motor.Snap the paddles into their mounts, clamp the short-shaft outboard on the transom, go.
Skip the trailer
Packs into the trunk. Stores on a shelf.
No trailer, no ramp fees, no mooring. Deflated, a Rover packs into a bag that rides in the car or stows on the yacht, and lives on a garage shelf all winter.
- 18 ft packs to 38 x 24 x 15 in.Small enough for a trunk or a yacht locker.
- 210 ft packs to 45 x 28 x 18 in.Fits an SUV or a pickup bed.
- 312 ft packs to 48 x 32 x 20 in.The most boat, still no trailer.

What boat owners say.
“I purchased the 12 foot Battle Cat from Jaeger shortly after the Toronto Boat Show... Wanting to see what this looked like, I inflated it in my rec room. What a beast of a boat! Huge tubes, and quality components.”
Inflatable boat and motor questions.
Do the inflatable boats come with a motor?
No. Boats and motors are sold separately. Every boat comes with a manual pump, two aluminum paddles, bench seating and a repair kit. Pick the boat, then add a Yamaha or Torqeedo outboard that sits within its rating.
What size motor do I need for an inflatable boat?
Start with the boat rating. The 8 ft Rovers take up to 6 hp, the 10 ft up to 10 hp and the 12 ft up to 20 hp, all on a 15 in transom with a short shaft. Then match the motor to your normal crew and load. Each motor page shows the Rover sizes it fits.
Which motors fit which boat?
8 ft: Yamaha 2.5, 4 and 6 HP, and the Torqeedo Travel XS, Travel S and Travel XP. 10 ft: the same motors, plus the Yamaha 9.9 HP as a configuration to evaluate. 12 ft: every motor we carry, up to the Yamaha 15 HP. Check your exact boat, motor weight, mounting and total load before you order.
Should I choose a gas or an electric outboard?
Yamaha gas outboards give you the most range and the fastest refuel. Torqeedo electrics are quiet and clean, with no fuel or oil to carry. Many lakes that restrict gas motors still allow electric, but rules vary by lake and state, so check before you go.
What shaft length do I need?
Every Rover has a 15 in transom, so it takes a short shaft: 15 in on a Yamaha, 62.5 cm on a Torqeedo.
Do the electric outboards come with a battery?
Torqeedo Travel motors are sold with battery options, or as motor only if you already own a compatible battery. Spare batteries are sold separately.
Can I return a boat or a motor?
Boats have a 60-day guarantee from delivery. Motor sales are final, so call 888-978-1503 before you order if you are not sure which motor fits. How returns work
Who handles the warranty?
Rover Marine boats carry 5 years on the hull and seams, 3 years on the tubes and 1 year on accessories. Motor warranty and service are handled by the motor maker, Yamaha or Torqeedo, and we will point you to the right contact. Warranty details
Do I need to register an inflatable boat with a motor?
Rover Marine boats are MIC certified with the US Coast Guard, and the DMV paperwork is mailed to you after your order. Registration and operator rules differ by state and by whether the boat is motorized, so check your state boating agency.
Where can I use it?
Lakes, harbors, bays, protected coastal water and inland waterways in calm to moderate conditions. It is not built for offshore rough water.
