Newport Kayak Series 55lb Thrust Transom Mounted Saltwater Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator (24" Shaft)

The motor is strong, good, and has good speeds

Very professional and very fast the best in market

Exceptionally excellent product (55 lb.) with very reasonable price. I already have used it for two months on a few fishing trips. Till now I'm very satisfied. Straightforward design, excellent for saltwater usage. Five forward & three backward gears. Five level power indicator whom I already can trust. Easy installation and regulation. Thanks, I am enjoying it.

My son and his friends used this motor (55lb, 24" shaft) on a 16' jon boat. Pushed it across the lake at 4+ mph. For the price and ease of use you cannot go wrong. I used it with an 850CCA automotive battery, barely used any battery in 2 days. It would keep up with a 2hp gas motor. Note: it comes with spade type battery connectors. I switched them to 3/8" eye connectors so they could be connected to the battery. Pick up a battery box and good to go.

Excelente motor eléctrico llegó muy rápido solo falta probar en el agua

I could have settled for that other big name brand which has the initials M-K, but overall, I think this is a better choice. It’s very quiet, and allows my 14’ Sportspal with gear to cruise all day at a maximum speed of about 7.5kh/h. After a couple of hours of use, I don’t see any drop on the battery gauge. Should be good for a couple of days on the water. The Kayak series has a shorter shaft, meaning you are more comfortable using the motor as the control arm is not so high up. I like this motor a lot.

Buena calidad de materiales y funcionamiento muy suave y silencioso

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.
