Newport Vessels Kayak Series 36Lb Thrust Transom Mounted Saltwater Electric Trolling Motor W/ Led Battery Indicator (24" Shaft)

ممتاز

Attached to my 3 man kayak this motor has power. High quality fittings and electronics. Choose the correct Lithium Battery as per manufacturers instructions. Enjoy your fishing!

The motor is strong, good, and has good speeds

Fast delivery, came in original packaging with warranty card etc. Just perfect for my kayak..

I did like the motor but thinking that I could have gone with the 55lb

Very professional and very fast the best in market

Great and it's fitted in my kayak replacing the paddle drive easy control

Does it work with a lithium 100 amp battery !?

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.

Good motor for kayak. I like the short shaft. It also runs a long time on a 50ah LiFePO4 battery. My battery has its own charge indicator and Bluetooth capability so I don't have to use the motor's charge indicator. I ran it over 3 1/2 hours and when I got back to the launch ramp I had only used 25% of the charge! I was pretty impressed. I am using it on a 10 ft kayak with a side mount setup. I ran it mostly low speed, but some at higher speeds. I have two cons that I didn't deduct any stars for but still worth noting. The biggest one is at the lowest speed it goes a little fast for fishing. I wish low speed was only half as fast as it is. Not a huge deal but something to consider. Might be partly because my setup is pretty light weight and doesn't take much to push it. The other thing is that the motor is on the heavy side (I think about 20 lbs.). Not that it's a problem to handle, but on a side mount setup it sort of tilts the kayak a little so I try to shift my weight slightly to compensate. This is a minor issue but if that is how you plan to use it you should be aware of this. My battery is so light that it doesn't counterbalance the weight much if I favor it's weight on the opposite side of the cargo hole. Anyway, I'm really happy with it so far.

Came in on time as promise. Fast but box Abit torn and crumpled. Still all component are intact. Will review again after installation and test. For now very satisfied with the product.

This trolling motor is just right for my kayak (with a 24" short shaft and a 2-blade propeller). The delivery is fast. And the best part? Newport Vessels' customer service! I had to modify the trolling motor: As seen on the attached pic, I had to turn around (180 degrees) the on/off and speed control handle on the head unit so that the handle faces me while I am seated on my kayak, and I contacted Newport Vessels for help/instruction. I literally received email reply from Newport Vessels within minutes, with all the detailed step-by-step instruction, and with some short video clips showing exactly how to do this. I also received several following up emails from Newport Vessels to ensure I got this done right. What can I say? This is the very best customer service I have had. I simply can't expect customer service any better than this! Thank you Newport Vessels. You have earned my confidence in purchasing anything from you next time! Cheers

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.
