That all depends on the style and make of the motor you are going to
buy.
Also, if this boat is like a small row/john boat, you can attach a
transom
mount on the side of the boat and still control it by the handle.

Yes it is a small boat with a motor on the back. I need to find a
place to install a trolling motor. I looked for pictures on the web.
Will search side mount. A further question is can I fully charge the
battery via solar.


Sure,,a standard solar charger will fully charge a 12 volt battery in
about 14 days,, if the sun is bright

What is a "standard" solar charger. I've got 60 watt panels in the shop I
use for remote applications, model home alarms before power gets turned on,
mobile offices, and I plan to put one on my toy hauler (with a charge
controller) to keep the battery charged, etc etc....

I have considered putting three of them on the back deck of the cat to keep
my batteries charged on weekend outings or to camp out on the river. At
4.5+ amps each it should work just fine I imagine. Put a small one/two man
dome tent on the front deck to keep the skeeters off and I could do
overnighters quite comfortably without worry about batteries. If I wasn't
worried about breaking them from flexing and pounding while running I'ld
consider putting up a bimini style frame and mounting them semi permanently.

(They ain't cheap though)
