  • Nice Motor
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
I use this on my 15' ft. Aluminum Klamath Boat. Works great.

  • More than enough power for my kayak
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
I purchased this motor 1 month ago and attached it to my 12 ft double kayak. My first trip was in Wellfleet Harbor in Cape Cod Bay. I put in from Great Island and went out to Billingsgate I. I trolled some lures for bluefish and drifted for fluke. The fishing was terrible but the motor was great. I could only use up to 3 setting. That zipped me along at a nice speed. when I set it to 4, my motor mount dug into the water and was splashing water into the kayak. Maybe I had too much power, I was wondering? the day was nice and calm. It was a joy to land right into shore which has a lot of rocks on the approach. The tilt function was excellent and allowed me to avoid the rocks. On the way back, a breeze sprung up and the tide was with me coming in. No problems. I bought a 75AH deep-cycle sealed battery to run the motor. (Weighs 60 lbs) This was from advice in "On the Water" magazine which had an excellent article on motorizing your kayak. I estimated I used the motor for 6 hours. As I was coming into the landing, the battery petered out. The whole trip was 10 miles. The motor took 12.5 amps/hr using it on the 2 and 3 speeds. 7.5 amps/mile. A few days later, my daughter Laura and I went from Morris Is. put in in Chatham over to Monomoy Is. We were hoping to explore Monomoy. However, a very stiff 20MPH SW wind was against us crossing the channel. With the extra weight of another person, I could use the 4 setting. There were whitecaps and 2 ft waves. With the motor we pushed through the elements. Again the motor mount caught some water and splashed it into the kayak. I bailed and ran the motor and Laura paddled. We made it to Monomoy OK. I don't think we would have without the motor. A couple in a kayak coming back looked exhausted. They pointed at the motor and said: "Next time we're going to get one of those!'. We explored some and ate lunch. On the way back, the wind was at our back and we were still taking on water. We got back just fine though. It was 1.5 miles to Monomoy so a 3 mile round trip. The battery was still pretty fully charged. I'm glad I purchased this motor. I can do things now that would kill me just paddling. I have a 12 ft aluminum boat that I used to have a 9.9hp gas motor on that no longer works. I feel confident that this motor would push that boat OK. I would be able to use the 5 setting if I needed to. We'll see how long this motor performs. I'm done with MinnKotas. They (2) wore out on me after 2 years use. ... show more

  • Fun toy for slow cruises
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
I bought the 55 pound thrust model to use on my Intex Excursion 4 inflatable boat. Short story is it works really great. Longer story is that I'm using a 100ah lifepo4 battery to power it. The battery is inside a 12 volt battery box. If using a lifepo4 battery, DO NOT trust the accuracy of the battery meter on the motor handle. It's only reading voltage, and attempting to determine the battery capacity of a lifepo4 battery from voltage alone is vague at best. I've drained the battery down to 40% and all of the green lights were still lit up, happy as could be. I installed a Renogy 500amp shunt into the battery box to get an exact real time view of the motor's power draw and time remaining. Your draws may fluctuate a little from mine, but should be well within the same ballpark. You can use these values to calculate the expected run time from your battery: At speed 1, the motor drew 10 amps or 132 watts. At speed 2, the motor drew 13.3 amps or 173 watts. At speed 3, the motor drew 20 amps or 259 watts. At speed 4, the motor drew 24.4 amps or 315 watts. At speed 5, the motor drew 52.3 amps or 664 watts. As you can see, the increase in power consumption is somewhat linear and modest through the first four speeds, but bumping it into the fifth speed doubles the power required while only giving what I would estimate to be around a 25% increase in speed. In short there's rarely any reason to use the fifth speed. Although it has been nice to have once or twice when encountering stronger than expected winds. I typically cruise around in speed 3 or 4. My 100ah battery can run for five hours on speed 3, or 4 hours on speed 4. Way more than enough time. This will allow me to putt around at about 3 miles per hour. At 23 pounds, it's light enough to easily carry to and from the car to the launch site. I can mount it on the bracket for my boat in about two minutes. I have a "real" boat as well, but sometimes it's fun to take the little inflatable one out and put this motor on the back of it. There's also the benefit that you can fit everything in your car and explore new places. I take it with me when we go camping. My kids get a kick out of it. Overall it's a lot of fun and I'd recommend it. If you're in the US, note that in almost all states, once you put a motor on anything regardless of size, it needs to be registered. ... show more

  • Good Value/Good Performance
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
Purchased this 55 Lb. thrust trolling motor to replace a MK brand that was no longer working after many years of service. Was stunned at the current replacement cost of a new MK so ordered this Newport Vessels brand. It is being used on a 12 foot alum. wide-transom canoe with a Group 24 deep cycle battery. Used it 2 times so far. Once on a tidal river and then a lake. (2 passengers). It performed very well and never lacked for speed even when up against head winds and tidal currents. It was used at speeds 2 and 3 for the most part with occasional bursts in 4 and 5. In speeds 1-3 it's a trolling motor, at 4 it's cruising and at 5 it becomes more like an outboard motor! She flies! Fairly quiet, but gets a bit louder as the speeds go up. Motor runs well but not as smooth and refined as the MK did. Seems to use a little more power than the MK, but the MK had slow- start and maximizer circuitry. Battery was down to about 65% after just under 2 hours but that was fighting winds and opposing current about 1/2 the time. Never felt any reduction in speed/power. Don't count on the built-in LED battery indicator as it was still showing 4 out of 5 lights. Overall, a decent motor and a good value. Can't comment on durability/reliability just yet until it sees more use. ... show more

  • Works as advertised. Simple, sturdy design. No complaints.
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
I got this for puttering around lakes on an inflatable boat. It does this perfectly. Screws right onto your transom. Turn to steer, twist for throttle, all in near-silence. Like all trolling motors regardless of power, speed will not exceed 5mph. This is plenty fast for puttering around lakes. I’ve heard about propeller upgrades that might get you another 1mph, but haven’t tried that myself. If you want to go faster, you’ll need to spend thousands more for either an electric outboard that might go 2mph faster, or a gas outboard that will go much faster but be loud, smelly, and illegal on many lakes. ... show more

  • Works great for our RIB tender!
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
Happy with this motor on our 7.5' Mercury inflatable. Wanted a Torqueedo, but didn't want to part with several thousand dollars. Did some research to check against Minn Kota, the NV55 is a little cheaper than the comparable MK, and although we'll only ever use it in freshwater, the fact that it's saltwater corrosion resistant makes one think it'll last a little longer in fresh water, too. We mainly use it for tendering back and forth to the beach, riding around at the beach, and a little bit in the yacht basin. It's a pretty leisurely ride on anything other that the 5th step, but that's the nature of a trolling motor on a RIB. I got the impression that the NV36 would have basically been like only having the first 4 speeds, no kick-in-the-pants speed. That said, you're still not water skiing with 5th speed, although I will say it doesn't go any slower or faster with one adult or three. We run it off a group 24 deep cycle battery, goes a surprisingly long time between charges, but we're not really running it in a way that I could measure distance or runtime. I do have a meter on it when I recharge, battery takes on 30 to 35 amp hours, which really isn't much out of this particular battery. I put the battery into the "MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center", which NV also sells, but is exactly the same box for twenty bucks more. The box has been very convenient for moving the battery in and out of the boat, and no sharp corners to puncture or wear on the boat. A group 24 or 27 lithium battery in this box would be awesome, as a lead acid batteries are heavy! Still not quite as convenient as a Torqueedo, but getting closer! Since we pop the RIB up on it's side on the swim platform, we have to install/remove the motor and battery each time. A pain, but a LOT less hassle than the 2.5hp gas motor! I do have one "wish" for the motor design; The handle that is the gear selector is numbered 1 through 5 for forward, 0 for stopped, and 1 through 3 for reverse. Without actually looking at the position of the handle, it's hard to tell if you're on 0. When pulling up to a dock or the swim platform on our big boat, it would be nice to be able to stop the motor, put it to the zero position without looking. Maybe a harder detent at 0? Or having a hard stop at 0 and you need to push the handle in to get it into reverse? I'd hate to have a lockout button for reverse, as it would suck to have reverse be a 2 handed operation... A button on the end of the handle maybe? All of these ideas cost real money to implement, though, and since NV is try to stay just under the cost of Minn Kota, unlikely to see the light of day... It's not the end of the world, but would certainly be more convenient if you didn't have to look... ... show more

  • Great motor for the money
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
Had this exact same motor bought used for many many years. Before I bought this new one, I had bought one used so I didnt know how much use it had endured before I bought it. But I used it for several years and liked it. This summer i dropped it and broke it where the shaft meets the propeller housing. I couldn't fix it so I went shopping for a new one. I wanted the same 55lb thrust as my old motor. A Minn Kota 55lb transom mount motor was $319. Then I found this Newport 55lb thrust that was the same model as my old one for $199 on amazon. A couple weeks later I went on amazon to buy it and it was $169 on a black friday deal!! Bought it and used it the day after i got it. GREAT MOTOR!! Cruised around the lake all day and only used about half the charge on my battery and very fast. Pushed my 14ft aluminum on high , which is an old heavy boat, like nothing all day. Buy this motor and you won't regret it. ... show more
