    • Simply Amazing!
Style: 55lb Thrust
Wow! Used on an Aquos 10.2 ft Pontoon Boat and this motor was awesome! Durable: On a new lake and hit a shallow area unexpectedly. The motor didn't have any issues. No visible damage and it was easy to raise to get out of that area. Talk about power! Tri-blade prop and 55 lb thrust got the job done. When popped into 5th, the front of the boat lifted and the rooster tail was quite enjoyable. Battery drain? Not much at all, even when in 5th. You will have hours of fun and enjoyment with this motor. ... show more

    • Trolling motor for pond boat
Style: 40lb Thrust
I bought this for a 10' plastic pond boat. It has plenty of power and works great.

    • Pleasantly surprised!
Style: 55lb Thrust
I had always used Minn-Kota and their quality has really gone down. I bought this to use on a mini pontoon boat in a private lake and very pleased. Seems to be well built and came well packed and really pleased with the power. I believe the 3 blade prop makes a big difference. I have only had for a month but works great and battery display seems accurate. I like the fact the control will tilt up and down as I sit higher in the boat than the motor. Also is extremely quiet. It pushes the mini pontoon boat with 2 people at a nice little pace in a 7 acre lake. I would recommend it . ... show more

    • Good trolling motor for the price
Style: 55lb Thrust
I purchased this trolling motor for a week long fishing trip in Canada. We went through a fly-in operator that only has 14' aluminum jon boats on their lake. The boats are equipped with 9.9 HP outboards, but trolling motors are a nice addition to be able to fish more comfortably. I opted for the larger 55 lb. thrust to be able to move the boat quickly. Canadian winds can be no joke and having more power gets you out of trouble in a hurry. The unit is heavy. With a 55 lb. thrust motor, I'm assuming the head is loaded with copper anodes. It is very powerful though. I was impressed at how fast it would push the little boats. Even when loaded with two adults and our gear, this motor in high gear would put out a wake. As others have mentioned, the jump from speed 4 to speed 5 is extremely large. I expected maybe a more gradual increase. If you aren't paying attention and crank it to 5, you could knock someone off their feet. The only drawbacks for me were the noise. It has a lot of vibration and noise. The handle assembly in the plastic head vibrates a lot. And the motor itself is pretty noisy. To be fair, that seems to be more and more common in transom mounted trolling motors these days. I think the larger companies like Minn Kota and MotorGuide make their money off expensive "smart" trolling motors and these transom mounted ones have become cheaply made because of that. Overall this is a good unit for the price point. It has plenty of power to move you around quickly. If you aren't fishing, this is a great buy. It would be great for moving a small tender around. If you are using it for fishing, be aware it's a little noisy. ... show more

    • WHAT A GREAT TROLLING MOTOR
Style: 55lb Thrust
This has got to be the most amazing trolling motor I have ever own.... before finding this i have use some well know brands that were junk out of the box ! I was ready to go back to using a boat paddle ... I can't say enough good things about this trolling motor we ran it all day on a 25 acre pond with some 8 to 10 mph wind on and off most of the day and got into a couple of moss beds and it ripped right through them.. I'm talking about a 16' Jon boat with two big men one ice chest six rod and reels two tackle boxes two batteries one for fish finder and one for the trolling motor and safety equipment .... going by the led meter we only used a fourth of the battery... I told my wife that I had order it after I had put it on the boat and she wasn't as happy as I was ... Its easy to ask for forgiveness than asking for permission .... A bad day on the lake is better than a great day at work! Buy one you want be disappointed! ... show more

    • Great trolling motor.
Style: 40lb Thrust
First, everyone is going to notice the price as compared to Minn Kota. This trolling motor replaced a Minn Kota on my 14 ft. jon boat and I am glad that I purchased it. It pushed my boat around saltwater marsh all day when my son and I went speckled trout and redfish fishing. No issues at all, but I wasn't expecting any from a brand new motor either. The tilting head is a nice feature that I haven't had on any other trolling motors before and I like it since I have seat pedestals mounted in the back row of my jon boat. Time will tell about the quality (of course) but if it keeps on performing like it has then I will not ever buy a Minn Kota again ... show more

    • Piece of crap. Don’t buy.
Style: 40lb Thrust
I wish I’d of used and opened this before the return period expired. I had a 36 pound minkota before this. Never had issues with battery life or running it wide open. This Newport motor is terrible. Rattles because of all the plastic it’s made with. Has no where near the power of a minn lots of equal power. And for the first time ever in my river run( it’s the same every trip) my battery died. Thing drains it looking for more power which it obviously doesn’t have. I’m using a blue top optima marine battery. No reason a few hours trolling should kill this. Super waste of money guys. EDIT: 9-1-2022 had this thing less than a year.........what a joke still. the prop nut has come loose twice, so much so that the prop wouldnt spin with the resistance of the water. both times this happend while i was on the river.....and yea it has 5 speed settings................which is actually 2 settings.....setting 4 will give me a creep. the other settings all go wide open. im in the process of contacting this joke of a company to see if theyll give me some credit to but another brand or something......hell, id pay to send them this thing back for my money back....STILL JUNK DO NOT BUY ... show more
