Hi does this come with suitable fitting equipment for a sevylor Hudson? Or is it just for the Colorado fishing kayak ?

Unlikely. I've been trying to fit one to a Hudson for years. There are no motor mount fittings of any kind. However... there is nothing to stop you adding extra mounting points. You can buy them here and glue/sew on (obviously the Hudson has a fabric outer, unlike cheap in inflatables). The normal way to mount a motor on a canoe is to use a bar behind the rear seat, sticking out the side. In other words the motor is next to you at the side; not at the rear! I'm in the process of doing this, and I'm thinking of using this motor - seems good value and not too big. As for the 15Ah battery - without breaking the laws of physics, that's not going to get you very far. Look me up if you want to collaborate. (Find my blog).

Can you attach it to a car battery or a moped battery?

I bought a 12v 18ah mobility scooter battery, works fine! Lasts about 4-5 hours switching between normal and high speed. I’d imagine a car or moped battery would work just as well.
