Cabelas has these decoy propellers that attatch to the decoys keel. You turn it on then drop the deek in the water. 3 of them do nicely and they're only about 12 bucks a piece. Only thin you have to watch out for is to make sure you have some good spacing between your propeller deek and the others or they will tangle up. Also shortening your deek chord helps this.
Here's the link.

I have used mojos, ect. for several years now, but have quit using them the past few season......first off, because they are a bit of a PIA to haul, set up, ect. The second is that everyone and his brother has 2, 3 or a dozen mojos set up.....I feel that the birds are used to (and wise to) them, esp. late in the season.
For movement, I've tried all the duck torpedos, ect. ect....they get tangled, or the props foul, ect.
I think a duck butt rigged with a jerk cord is ideal, and I have a couple of quiver butts that I put out if the water is absolutely still and there needs to be some movement.

Take one wing on your spinning wing decoy,drill a hole at the bottom out side edge put a 24 inch heavy(tanglefree work best) decoy line tie a knot at one end slide it in the hole tie a knot at the other end,then place it just close enough that the knot touchs the surface of the water turn it on and it will spray water up and the ducks GO CRAZY trying to get down to it,Been working for a long time for me,and can be seen for a long way. Be carefull it will beat the hell out of you.We use SUPER LUCKY DUCKS with plastic wings and the spray looks like feeding duck making ripples in the water and moves the decoys around nicely.
