  The Lego police boat ([set 4010](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=4020-1), from 1987) had a notch for fitting a motor on the bottom of the hull and it was referenced in [its instructions](https://lego.brickinstructions.com/en/lego_instructions/set/4010/Police_Rescue_Boat):
  
  [![Instructions for set 4010](https://i.sstatic.net/5PvaE.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/5PvaE.jpg)
  
  The instructions read, in several languages:
  
  > In some countries propellor motors (not made by LEGO™) are available from model shops. The notch in the bottom of the hull allows these motors to be attached.
  
  There are other boats with similar hulls: sets 4011, 4012, 4020, 4021, 4022, 4030, 4031.
  
  According to <https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/156353-boat-hull-motors/> , the notch is compatible with the Playmobil 5159 Submarine Motor:
