2 trips and we love it. Hopefully it holds up for the long haul. It’s super quiet and has a lot of power for going up river.

Old Review: I bought this trolling motor for my Field & Stream Shadowcaster 123 kayak,and I really liked it, but just felt it was a little too heavy for installing to the side of the kayak, so I returned it and ended up going with a more installed, transom mount solution instead. I do wish I had bought this motor for my canoe instead of the Watersnake brand that I bought, because this motor doesn't need the shaft cut. Although it may seem a little trivial, I like that this motor comes in grey even though it's saltwater rated (which is typically white). New Review: Okay, so my original kayak trolling motor prematurely died on me, so rather than wasting time and money returning it for warranty service, I decided to buy this Newport Vessels NV Series motor again. As you can see from the pics, I heavily modified it for my kayak mount (there goes that warranty). It's incredibly quiet and very fast. For the first test run I was fishing for ~5 hours, covering about 4 miles with the last 2 of the miles being at full speed returning to the launch. I have two small 35AH batteries in parallel and had 70% charge left when I got home and put the batteries on a charger, so this motor is really light on the juice. Although my initial impression was that it was a little too heavy for a kayak (and I still stand by that opinion for side mounting), it's actually fine on the stern. I have the batteries stowed in bow compartment (which is why I chose two small ones rather than one big one), so it balances out the weight nicely. I did add the Bullnose Rudder to it, and it provides an overall big improvement in tracking and turning. It's also nice to just use it as a rudder to provide a little steering when just drifting. Great motor -- works very well and looks good. I'm probably going to buy the same motor for my canoe and pick up the 36-lb version for other smaller kayak. ... show more

    • Great motor, fast tech. support Great motor, fast tech. support
Style: 55lb Thrust Pattern Name: Motor Only
Review Image by Eclectic Reader
The motor is great. It looks good, feels good, and runs well. At power level five, my 14 foot tandem with an overweight captain and a 40 pound battery, moved along through a choppy bay at maybe four mph. Lower speeds would be great for trolling or going gently down the stream, but were a bit slow for my taste. Yet, even below fifth speed, it moved my kayak steadily and quietly, despite the elements. (See photo). Running at flank speed, I ran out of power in about an hour or less. Maneuvering up to the bow seat to paddle, I capsized. Fortunately, the motor is light enough that it caused no trouble in righting the boat. Also, the clamp was strong enough that it held the motor onto my 2x4 side mount through, embarrassingly enough, this and two subsequent capsizes. Clamps are details, and Newport Vessels paid attention to this one. If the motor runs after these salt water dunks, I'll update this review. So much for the motor. I sent an email to their tech. support on the motor's power led's. A reply came back so quickly that I assumed it was a boiler plate auto-answer. In fact, it was a direct, understandable, and documented answer to my question. So I'm very pleased with my purchase and will buy another Newport Vessel motor if mine has drowned. ... show more

    • Too heavy
Style: 36lb Thrust Pattern Name: Motor Only
The motor is well built and performs as expected. I use it with a 48 Li-ion shark-fin bike battery with a step-down converter to 12 v and it works well. The one star off is for the weight - for something that goes onto a kayak it is way too heavy. It is completely encased in metal and probably quite indestructable, but for a kayak application is an overkill. Also, a brushed motor in this day and age is really not something that should be made. Plenty of high quality brushless options out there to build out of. Basically it feels like its design is from the early 2000's - well behind the curve. I'm guessing all of this is driven by the cost. ... show more

    • Excellent Kayak accessory
Style: 55lb Thrust Pattern Name: Motor Only
Extremely happy with this item. While it may not seem like much, I can actually attain full speed of 4.5mph in my kayak. I'm a heavy guy and yet this motor still moves the kayak well. Definitely a good purchase.

    • Durable, Powerful and Light Weight
Style: 55lb Thrust Pattern Name: Motor Only
I attached this motor to a DIY motor mount board attached to two pvc pipes with U-bolts, and set in my fishing rod holders, on a tandem kayak in order to take a friend of mine 4.8 miles upstream against a 4.8 mph river flow on a narrow, winding river. Don't do this. It was a very bad idea. But as for the motor, we made good progress upstream without even using the highest forward speeds of the motor. We flipped twice, submerging the motor for a minute or so each time, and sending the battery box with sealed battery to the river bottom each time. DESPITE THIS, the battery held out to get us 4.6 miles of the way upriver. The motor still works great. With the triple blade prop, the motor ran very quietly, and I look forward to using it for fishing on my SOLO kayak, by myself. Definitely a well-made product!! Best trolling motor value for the cost that I have ever owned. ... show more

Got tired of paying big money for glam trolling motors where the battery alone cost more than most kayaks. Went back to the basics and got more speed and battery life for about 1/4 of the price. This Newport works great. Glad I went back.

    • ONE OF THE BEST TROLLING MOTOR FOR THE MONEY
Style: 36lb Thrust Pattern Name: Motor Only
I use this on my SeaEagle 285fpb inflatable fishing boat. With all my rods, my tackle back pack, the battery and me on board, this thing can haul my boat rather quick at full speed. The length of the handle is adjustable and the length of the shaft from handle to propeller is perfect for my boat. I primarily use this for freshwater, so I'm not sure how rust resistance the components are. But I do spray them with Corrosion X once a year for protection, just in case. It's very easy to install on my boat and not very heavy. Overall, this is one of the best value for the money when it comes to transom mounted electric trolling motors on the market. ... show more
