    • Newport makes a FANTASTIC quality product.
Style: 55lb Thrust
Review Image by Shane
Awesome product for the money. It is extremely well built and runs very quiet. Plenty of thrust to push 2 big guys around on a 12 foot boat all day. All hardware is super good quality and that makes the adjustments very smooth. I have it converted with an autoboat GPS head and put on the bow of my little 12 foot plastic jon boat, and it's been in some really rough windy water. I've ran it into rocks and sand. Chopped countless weeds with it. It has held up to everything. It seems extremely energy efficient as well, my 100ah battery will last me several full days on the water before I even need to think about charging it. ... 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

    • 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

    • Failed on 1st Use after 30 seconds - Company Replaced
Style: 55lb Thrust
Motor ruined our trip. First time using it. Ran in forward for 30 seconds and then stopped. After 10 minutes of moving the throttle back and forth forward started working but reverse stopped and never worked after. Sadly were a few days out of the. return period so I have to seek warranty support. If that requires me having to ship it...I may just throw it away and buy something reliable. When you are on the water you cannot trust an unreliable motor and thus one has failed badly. Update: put in a claim with Newport. They got back to me quickly and sent out a new trolling motor that day. They did the right thing. When I get the new motor I'll review its performance. ... show more

    • Excellent trolling motor!
Style: 55lb Thrust
Using this on an 11' inflatable dinghy (Costco Tobin Sports). Running it straight for 4 hours barely uses any battery, it has great features, it's light, and been very reliable so far. I also just hooked up a Garmin striker 4 vivid cv fish finder and was able to mount the GT20 transducer to the bottom of the motor. It fits perfectly and there is no electronic interference noticed on the display of the Garmin unit and it's also plugged into the same battery as the trolling motor. Overall, I've been very impressed with the Newport motor! ... show more

    • 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

    • So Far So Good.
Style: 55lb Thrust
Review Image by 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
