  • 86LB thrust (long story short I love this motor!)
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 86lb Thrust
Disclaimer!!!!!! I have only used the Newport motor once so I can’t give feedback on long term yet but I’ll update back over time if things change. I’m no expert at all but I have had maybe 10 trolling motors over the years and can compare speed-vibration-battery life-ergonomics-etc from them to it. Overall yes I am happy with it and will NOT be returning it. It’s very nice with only one major flaw. First gear is way too aggressive. This new newport 86lb is faster in first gear than my 40lb at full power. Creeping ultra quietly down back is not easy anymore. I WANT TO GIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FIRST. Only one issue so far, first gear is super aggressive. It’s not bad enough for me to return, just something to note. First gear, the slowest option is 3mph. For example my 40lb first gear is maybe little over half of a mph. So an immediate 3mph is very jerky, so if you are moving on small ponds just get the 62lb that runs 12v. If you are fishing bigger reservoirs or state parks, etc get this 86lb. I covered so much more water today now that I’m moving double the speed. I wish it was possible to have a slower first gear to creep from spot to spot. It’s much more aggressive than I would like first gear to be. IF the guy upfront is standing you better let him know before you turn the motor on. It’s funny with my buddy in his 30s, but my dad in his 70s is going to have a balance problem if he is standing LOL. Creeping ultra quietly down the bank is not possible. Reverse is perfect! Very powerful too. Had a spare motor guide 40lb I threw on there for this test and my boat got to 3mph. With this new 86lb I’m now able to get over 5mph speed even with weight of 2 big batteries and 2 180-200lb guys and our rods, the front motor and battery/etc. The motor seems very nice quality, reminds me of minn kota. I would rank this quality higher feel than either of my motorguides (r3 and a xi3) The lever clicks are very solid, like I like my adjustments on an optic. I want to hear and feel the change. I ran it all day today and the battery light only went down one bar! Nothing got hot either. INCLUDES THE CABLE YOU NEED TO RIN 24v! I took a picture of wiring and batteries to help others get setup. Super simple To run the 24v needed. I picked up 2 deep cycle marine batteries (pictured) at Walmart for $100 each. They are both 100+ah batteries. This 86lb came with the cable to run from one batteries positive, to the other batteries negative. Then you hook the motor up wires to the open positive and negative posts. Battery voltage indicator is such a nice feature. I will reply back to tell you how accurate it is. Vibration seemed normal. Nothing to crazy. I was able to turn on full speed and it stayed straight with my hand even off it. Big bonus for that when you need to cover a lot of water it’s nice to take your hand off for a second. This Newport 86lb motor seems to only weigh slightly more than a normal 55lb troller. Also a win. Easy to take on and off boat if you need to. ... show more

  • Quiet and powerful
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
This is a sturdy powerful motor that moves our 12-foot very wide aluminum fishing boat through the water at surprising speed when called upon to do so, and slowly but reliably when needed. Good value.

  • Great value so far. Read info on how this works out.
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 36lb Thrust
Great motor for less than half the cost of the leading brand. Saw prior review about water intrusion into the motor housing. So I took mine apart straight out of the box. Sure enough the wiring goes down the shaft and right to the motor. (See pictures). I used a tiny burst of Daptex low expansion foam sealant. Problem solved. Two ways this could happen: 1-Motor falls off your transom into the water and the power cords keep it attached. You pull it out and water would have gotten down into the shaft to the electric motor—ruining it. 2–water spray from a transducer gets into the head of the motor and enough comes in that the little drain holes in the base can’t drain fast enough and bam—motor ruined. Also I’d worry about salt spray getting down there—that’s why I took it apart and sealed it up. Don’t leave this motor outdoors—even with it sealed up, it’s not that waterproofed. The battery tester led’s appear safe from most water sources, but I’m betting dampness will get into the upper head of this motor and ruin it eventually. Time will tell. My advice is of course wash with clean water and store it in a dry (not even damp) location. But this isn’t a Minnkota and I didn’t expect it to be at this price! It’s less than half the cost of a MK riptide for salt water. If you need a motor to last 10 years of heavy use then go that route. I’m starting with an inflatable dinghy in a tidal lagoon for my first saltwater vessel. Went very cheap on the boat and the motor. I’m hooking this up to a very high quality AGM deep cycle marine battery. Goal is to just to not have to use the oars! The trim mechanism is very well engineered except for one more fault—the transom mount bolts stop about an inch and a quarter too short!!! With a 1” or smaller plywood transom now I have to “beef” that up so the motor will stay on. Stupid design there—this company’s smallest shaft motor and it’s designed to fit a 17.5 foot fiberglass boat not a small jonboat or dingy. This is not a big confidence boost I’m feeling for the company right now. (See pic). At any rate if your boat has a wide transom no modification will be needed. Comes with an in-line circuit breaker which is nice—though you better keep the salt off of it as well, it’s ferromagnetic so it’s going to rust.... Also the motor is definitely louder than my Minnkota freshwater trolling motors (I’ve two that have lasted 11 yrs). But, again, right now I’m just trying out the saltwater on the cheap. I will upgrade later if things work out. I’m giving it 4 stars for now based on the value. I got exactly what I’d expect at this price point. If it fails in any way I’ll update this post. I figure I’ll get at least 5 years out of this as I only fish saltwater when I’m on vacation. If you’re starting out on the cheap and are just seeing how things go, this is the motor for you. My next saltwater trolling motor will be a Minnkota riptide if this thing even stutters just once. Usually I plan to do it right the first time, but as I’m just getting my toes wet here I’m going on the cheap to see how I like it. I would never buy this thing for daily or even monthly use. Don’t trust the brand yet. If you fish a lot in saltwater, or stealth is super important to you I’d warn against this purchase. Also one more word of caution: almost all states will require boat registration if ANY type of motor is used, including electric only. So check the refs where you fish—I’ll bet you you have to fully register your vessel even if it’s a kayak as soon as you strap a motor onto it. ... show more

  • Good Value/Good Performance
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
Purchased this 55 Lb. thrust trolling motor to replace a MK brand that was no longer working after many years of service. Was stunned at the current replacement cost of a new MK so ordered this Newport Vessels brand. It is being used on a 12 foot alum. wide-transom canoe with a Group 24 deep cycle battery. Used it 2 times so far. Once on a tidal river and then a lake. (2 passengers). It performed very well and never lacked for speed even when up against head winds and tidal currents. It was used at speeds 2 and 3 for the most part with occasional bursts in 4 and 5. In speeds 1-3 it's a trolling motor, at 4 it's cruising and at 5 it becomes more like an outboard motor! She flies! Fairly quiet, but gets a bit louder as the speeds go up. Motor runs well but not as smooth and refined as the MK did. Seems to use a little more power than the MK, but the MK had slow- start and maximizer circuitry. Battery was down to about 65% after just under 2 hours but that was fighting winds and opposing current about 1/2 the time. Never felt any reduction in speed/power. Don't count on the built-in LED battery indicator as it was still showing 4 out of 5 lights. Overall, a decent motor and a good value. Can't comment on durability/reliability just yet until it sees more use. ... show more
