  • 86LB thrust (2025 update long story short I love this motor!)
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 86lb Thrust
The media could not be loaded. UPDATED PICTURES AND REVIEW AFTER 100 fishing trips. 3/24/2025. I will leave my original review but add too it. I still like the motor. Very fast(3.5mph by itself). It absolutely still serves its purpose. Never any issues with 500+ hrs between my dad and I. Only issues are -battery indicator on top is worthless. THE FIX- Just make sure your battery’s are charged and do not risk it(recommend Noco onboard charger 10x3). -there is no creeping going up the bank, even first gear is 2+ mph and I’m being picky but a little loud. THE FIX- I have enjoyed using this motor to help get us to the other side of lake first thing in morning then use front motor to creep up banks. I don’t mean to exaggerate the noise, not bad but noticeable. -Vibration. It’s not terrible but the handle definitely wobbles/vibrates at top speed but it is worth it for extra speed vs 55/62lb options. I can only get 2.5mph out of the front 55lb thrust minkota edge($100 on marketplace).THE FIX- I have not attempted to play with mitigating the vibration. Also not a big deal just being transparent with issues that are frustrating (even if only make you mad a little lol) Next upgrade for me is new lithium batteries to drop some weight. Still rocking 3 27 size 100ah+ ($100 each) from Walmart. 2 for rear motor. 1 for front motor and electronics. It’s been GREAT! This setup got my and pops fishing on my small budget. Grateful for that. Lots of fish caught and even more memories made. You all can imagine your typical 35yr old son and 70year old dad fishing. LOL Hope this helps. Buy the motor. I would again. I’ll be looking at the nt300 down the road for a jon boat build! 6/1/2024 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 the bank 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 2.5mph. For example my 40lb first gear is maybe little over half of a mph. So an immediate 2.5mph 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. With this new 86lb I’m now able to get over 4mph while using both motors even with weight of 3 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 my motorguides (r3 ) but lower than min kotas. 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 3 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. UPDATE NOT ACCURATE! 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

  • Very Nice
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 62lb Thrust
Just got the trolling motor yesterday and tried it out today. Works fantastic. As a kicker motor for trolling motor only lakes, it moves my 17' boat easily. Seems very well made, too.

  • Works great for our RIB tender!
Pattern Name: Motor Style: 55lb Thrust
Happy with this motor on our 7.5' Mercury inflatable. Wanted a Torqueedo, but didn't want to part with several thousand dollars. Did some research to check against Minn Kota, the NV55 is a little cheaper than the comparable MK, and although we'll only ever use it in freshwater, the fact that it's saltwater corrosion resistant makes one think it'll last a little longer in fresh water, too. We mainly use it for tendering back and forth to the beach, riding around at the beach, and a little bit in the yacht basin. It's a pretty leisurely ride on anything other that the 5th step, but that's the nature of a trolling motor on a RIB. I got the impression that the NV36 would have basically been like only having the first 4 speeds, no kick-in-the-pants speed. That said, you're still not water skiing with 5th speed, although I will say it doesn't go any slower or faster with one adult or three. We run it off a group 24 deep cycle battery, goes a surprisingly long time between charges, but we're not really running it in a way that I could measure distance or runtime. I do have a meter on it when I recharge, battery takes on 30 to 35 amp hours, which really isn't much out of this particular battery. I put the battery into the "MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center", which NV also sells, but is exactly the same box for twenty bucks more. The box has been very convenient for moving the battery in and out of the boat, and no sharp corners to puncture or wear on the boat. A group 24 or 27 lithium battery in this box would be awesome, as a lead acid batteries are heavy! Still not quite as convenient as a Torqueedo, but getting closer! Since we pop the RIB up on it's side on the swim platform, we have to install/remove the motor and battery each time. A pain, but a LOT less hassle than the 2.5hp gas motor! I do have one "wish" for the motor design; The handle that is the gear selector is numbered 1 through 5 for forward, 0 for stopped, and 1 through 3 for reverse. Without actually looking at the position of the handle, it's hard to tell if you're on 0. When pulling up to a dock or the swim platform on our big boat, it would be nice to be able to stop the motor, put it to the zero position without looking. Maybe a harder detent at 0? Or having a hard stop at 0 and you need to push the handle in to get it into reverse? I'd hate to have a lockout button for reverse, as it would suck to have reverse be a 2 handed operation... A button on the end of the handle maybe? All of these ideas cost real money to implement, though, and since NV is try to stay just under the cost of Minn Kota, unlikely to see the light of day... It's not the end of the world, but would certainly be more convenient if you didn't have to look... ... 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
