Newport Kayak Series 36lb Thrust Transom Mounted Saltwater Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator (24" Shaft)

Newport Kayak Series 36lb Thrust Transom Mounted Saltwater Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator (24" Shaft)

Q: What Battery would be recommended and what type of run time will it give me?

Let's get down to facts from experts and dump the guesswork and anecdotal "evidence". According to the Interstate battery Marine/RV battery maintenance guide pdf, you determine the AMP HOUR rating of your battery by multiplying the RC rating (reserve capacity in minutes) by .6 - so a 160 RC battery ( a big one) has an AH rating of 96. According to - https://newportvessels.com/how-to-calculate-your-motor - run-time/ - the 36 lb. motor draws 29 amps at top speed setting and the 55 lb. motor draws 52 amps at top speed. DIVIDE THE THE AH RATING BY THE AMPS DRAWN to calculate run time for a GENERAL GUIDE. So - my 160 RC battery will power a 55 lb. thrust motor for 1.85 hours at top speed on flat water with no wind or current.

Q: Does it come with battery indicator light

Hi, Our Kayak Series trolling motor will come with a 5 point LED Battery indicator to estimate remaining battery charge. This feature is located on the head just past the control handle. If you have additional questions, feel free to give us a all at (866) 721-0002! Our hours are Mon-Fri, 8:30am-4:30pm Pacific Standard Time. Best, -NV Team

Q: Is this motor ok for use with a 12' jonboat?

Hi, It's possible, the shaft may be too short. Please measure from the top of the transom down to the waterline. If this measurement is 9" or less, this motor will work! If it's greater than 9", we recommend a 30" shaft. Hopefully this helps! If you have more questions or need additional help, please visit newportvessels.com or email us at support@newportvessels.com! Our hours are M-F, 8:30am-4:30pm Pacific Time. Best, -NV Team

Some Issues

I bought used/like new. Some issues with it that were easily resolved. Head was reversed and screw was stripped. Wire inside was pinched, But it was a good deal and Amazon’s wonderful customer service offered a great discount.

Great motor for my Coracle!

The media could not be loaded. Perfect motor for my Coracle! Speed 5 with the 36 pound thrust as about as fast as I would want to go. I went out for a couple hours and the motor worked perfectly for my experimental boat. The battery indicator lights indicated a full charge after a couple hours of fun, but the battery is taking some hours to recharge, so I don't know if the lights are accurate. I'm going to try it on my canoe next. I think the 55 pound thrust would be even better, but probably would drain the battery more. But the 36 is definitely perfect for the Coracle.

Better than Minn Kota

I first purchased a Minn Kota Endura 50 and when it arrived the motor had a horrible grinding and popping noise. As stated on the packaging I called Minn kota rather than returning to Amazon for service. The nearest service center is about an hour away so I informed them I would rather simply return the faulty unit than drive an hour both ways twice to drop off and pick up. I then purchased this Newport 36 and when it arrived there was a huge hole in th box as if the whole motor was pulled through the box (thanks Amazon driver) however when I hooked it up to my battery it is whisper quiet. Another thing I noticed about the Minn Kota was that the transom mounting bolts on it were very sloppy where the Newport mounting bolts are tight and secure. Having examined both up close I would purchase the Newport over the Kota every time. Just my 2 cents.
