Yes, a trolling motor can be installed on a Sea Born LX Center Console as all LX boats have a trolling motor “pre-wire”. The wire begins inside the console and runs along the port-side gunwale and then ties off under the forward anchor locker.
Regarding what shaft length trolling motor should be used, in most cases a 72” variant is sufficient.
CRI does not sell OEM replacement parts directly to the public. Given this, should a need for parts arise you should first contact your dealer for assistance.
Tip:
Your dealer will in almost every case need your boat’s full hull identification number (serial) in order to assist with your parts request. Failing to provide your serial number (or other requested information) will greatly delay your dealer’s ability to provide you with timely service.
Given that each boat and the desired trolling motor may vary considerably in size and shape and manfacturer, we aren’t able to provide specific recommendations for an aftermarket vendor. However, a quick search for “trolling motor bracket” online will yeild mutliple suppliers. Prior to that, we strongly recommend that you reach out to your local CRI dealer for assistance as they may often stock the needed part(s) for your boat.
No. Since our very first boat, we’ve never used any wood. All of our vessels are manufactured from all-composite materials. Given that, any wood found in use within one of our boats was added in the aftermarket by a previous owner or dealer.

For the 2017 model year, the rear bench cushions on the Sea Born LX22 Center Console were not removable. Beginning in the model year 2018, the LX22 was equipped with snap down cushions in the aft.
Some CRI boats with hardtops ship without speakers for various reasons, but it is possible to add an aftermarket stereo. In almost every case whereby a boat ships without a factory-installed stereo the hardtop will have cover speaker cut outs. Using a screwdriver, an owner can simply remove the covers and run the needed wiring down the legs of the hardtop into the overhead box and/or to the console panel.
In many of CRI’s skiff models, there are channels that run along the hull or the deck. Those channels are built into the boat to be used for running rigging (IE. Wires) along the vessel.
The top of the bow to waterline measures approximately 32″.
This question is typically linked to the desire to install an aftermarket trolling motor. In most cases, a 72″ should be fine as it is of the more commonly used length. However, for owners who plan offshore runs and to use their trolling motor as an active anchor, you may want a longer shaft.
