A durable nylon transom mount, and a 30-inch adjustable shaft, means this motor can fit almost all small to medium sized watercraft. High quality corrosion resistant hardware ensures this motor is ready to tackle any environment, with full saltwater and freshwater compatibility. Ease-of-operation, quality, and craftsmanship make this motor the 1 choice in its class. This trolling motor is designed to be paired with one (1) 12-Volt Lead-Acid Deep Cycle or Marine battery (battery not included). Review: Greater Value than Expected - I recently purchased a piece of property on a shallow lake. It is a very quiet community, so I thought an electric trolling motor would be appropriate for just cruising along the lake. I read several reviews done by others on this Newport product, and watched videos that were posted showing the motor in action. I have to say that I am beyond impressed with what I purchased. I chose the 62 lb thrust motor since it can be used on various size boats. I have a 12' StarCraft rowboat that is an older and well-constructed boat. That means it has some weight to it. I was able to cruise along through the weedy places with no trouble at all. A very clever design feature is the adjustable collar that allow the motor to be raised or lowered depending upon the depth from the floor to the propeller. Once I was in open water, I selected the highest speed and was amazed at how very well it moved me along. It will be put to a full test next week when my wife and 3 others will be using the boat. The weight of the motor is great in that it is light enough for my wife to carry it without hurting her shoulder. This was another selling point. It installs in seconds which mean no heavy lifting for a long period of time.. I have only one major concern that I experienced that could easily be remedied with a design modification. The forward and reverse motion is controlled by a twist of the handle. If you install the motor and accidentally have the motor in any of the power settings before you hook up the battery, the motor will turn and you could get injured. Yes, common sense would demand that the battery no be hooked up until the motor is in the water, but the potential for injury does exist. Perhaps they can incorporate a safety switch that interrupts the power going to the motor. I purchased a deep cycle lithium battery to power the motor. I ran for about a couple of miles at full speed and measured the voltage at the battery after I finished the run. The power loss was only a .01 drop from the 12.8 volts. There is a built in battery level series of LED's that tell you at a glance how much power you have left. This is a testimony to not only the quality of the battery, but also to the low amp draw of the motor. It is very efficient. It is very well made and I expect many years of use out of this unit. There are replacement parts available which is encouraging. Final word, for the price you will not find a better motor that has all the features of those that are priced much, much higher. I expect Newport to be around a while.

Prob got up to 5 or 6 mph. I never did it for very long though so not sure how long the battery would last doing that all day. Goes pretty slow until you kick it into the 5th gear and then you feel a nice push. Also have not tried it into any kind of head wind or current. **Q: I want to know the horsepower of the Newport Vessels 55 Pound Thrust 8 Electric Trolling Motor to see if it is allowed in the lake I want to us it in?** A: In the product description it says Power - 55lb Thrust (0.83HP Equivalent) so it is less than 1 horse power. I use the 55 pound thrust version on a 16ft canoe with fishing gear battery etc totaling 220lbs plus my fat butt of 260 and have had one other person weighing in at 300lbs totaling 780lbs and this motor in top speed (5) does the job with ease nicely, even in high winds. As for using it on a lake that depends on if you are in America, the state you are in and what the state and local laws are on lakes. My state requires the boat to be registered if using a gas or electric motor. **Q: Is it made for salt water?** A: Hi, Yes! All of our motors are rated for both Salt and Freshwater. We recommend rinsing your trolling motor with freshwater after use in saltwater. This will help extend the motor's lifespan.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Newport 12V50Ah Deep Cycle Heavy-Duty Marine Battery, Lightweight & Sealed AGM, Trolling Motor Compatible - INTEX 68624EP Motor Mount Kit: Easy to Attach – Heavy-duty Composite Mount – Marine Plywood – Aluminum Support Arms – Fits up to 3.0 HP Motors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1296149-newport-nv-series-thrust-saltwater-transom-mounted-trolling-electric-trolling](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1296149-newport-nv-series-thrust-saltwater-transom-mounted-trolling-electric-trolling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
