Anyone got the Playmobil Coast Guard Boat or Police Sea Plane?

This one

It doesn't seem to require batteries, but how does the motor work?

Also does the Police Sea Plane have a motor or not?

We have the Police seaplane but not the Coastguard boat. Both of them can be used manually in the bath, but if you want them to "go" you will need to buy the underwater motor (I don't think this is included in either set). You can buy it from the Playmobil direct service catalogue (go to Playmobil website, or if you have a paper catalogue, there is a phone no you can ring to order. Think the motor costs around £5 and it's compatible with practically all Playmobil boats, so you can use it with any of them. Hope this helps.

That's why I got confused cos the Coast Guard one claims to include a motor but not need batteries.

We got the Coast Guard (previous model I think) on Freecycle and there was a motor with it.

Have seen people selling them on ebay (the motor).

Coast guard is very good by the way :)

SMTB- is that the motor you use with the jeep and speed boat leisure family set please?

Having checked it looks like the motor will fit the fire and rescue boat too - might have to add that to ds's Christmas present!

Have just checked the catalogue - the Coastguard boat does come with an underwater motor (but the police seaplane doesn't) and the underwater motor does require 1 x AA battery.

The underwater motor is compatible with all Playmobil boats, including the speedboat.

Thanks SMTB!
