    • 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.

    • Nice light trolling motor.
Style: 40lb Thrust
We bought this to power our 10 ft. boat that use use on a smaller lake that only allows electric motors. It works fine and has plenty of power for it. I like the battery power lights on it so you have a good idea how much electric power is left in the battery.

    • 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

    • 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

Review Image by Rick Rick
This review is from someone who only owned a Minn Kota C30, so I have nothing else to compare it to. I feel it meets the same quality as my old trolling motor. I can not go into detail yet until I had a chance to take this out on the water. However, first impressions I remember my C30 wasn't very fast. It was fine for a small fishing kayak but now that I have a new stand-n-fish pontoon boat, I wanted something a little bigger. This 55lb. is much heavier than my old 30lb. by 8lbs. What influenced my decision the most was a review on YouTube which compared it to a small gas motor when put in 5th gear. When shopping I looked at the Minn Kota Traxxis 55 because if the tilting arm. That is a very important feature to someone who is in a stand-n-fish boat. I just couldn't see paying another $100 more for the Minn Kota plus $50 for a 2 year warranty. Similar quality for a lot less money. ... 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
