Review: Nice trolling motor for a kayak - 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. Review: ONE OF THE BEST TROLLING MOTOR FOR THE MONEY - I use this on my SeaEagle 285fpb inflatable fishing boat. With all my rods, my tackle back pack, the battery and me on board, this thing can haul my boat rather quick at full speed. The length of the handle is adjustable and the length of the shaft from handle to propeller is perfect for my boat. I primarily use this for freshwater, so I'm not sure how rust resistance the components are. But I do spray them with Corrosion X once a year for protection, just in case. It's very easy to install on my boat and not very heavy. Overall, this is one of the best value for the money when it comes to transom mounted electric trolling motors on the market. ## Features - Kayak Shaft: 24-Inch Fiberglass Shaft Allows For Variable Depth Placement, While Offering A Lifetime Of Dependable Performance - Variable Speed: 8 Speeds (5 Forward & 3 Reverse) With 6-Inch Telescoping Handle Puts You In Total Control Of Your Ride - Saltwater Rated: Durable All Aluminum Motor Head W/ Corrosion Resistant Magnesium, Zinc, And Stainless-Steel Hardware For Saltwater Use (Lead-Acid Dc 12V) - Extra Long Cables: 5'6" Battery Cables Allow For Versatile Battery Placement For Optimal Weight Distribution ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07455NBNL | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,307 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #6 in Trolling Boat Motors | | Brand Name | Newport Vessels | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,133 Reviews | | Engine Type | Trolling Motor | | Fuel Type | electric | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00717390768266 | | Included Components | 50A Manual Reset Circuit Breaker, Owners Manual, Propeller with Assembly Hardware, Trolling Motor | | Item Type Name | Newport Kayak Series 55 lb.

To determine the correct shaft length, measure the distance from the mounting spot down to the waterline and add 15". We would recommend taking a look at our 55lb NV-Series motor with a 30" adjustable shaft to allow the correct depth of the propeller. If you have any other questions or need additional help, please visit newportvessels.com or call us at (866) 721-0002! Our hours are Mon-Fri, 8:30am-4:30pm Pacific Standard Time. Best, -NV Team **Q: Has anyone used a lifepo4 battery for the 55lb motor ? some say it’s not supposed to use lithium. please answer only if you have experience. thx** A: I have used the lifep04 battery with this trolling motor and it works great. Have used the motor for atleast 6 hours using speeds 3 to 5. Battery has about 50% left on it when i get back. **Q: can i paddle while the motor is running? (Concerned that the position of the motor will interfere with paddling.) thanks!** A: I had it mounted on a bar behind the kayak seat and paddled only when motor was off **Q: Can it power a 12 foot Jon boat with ply wood decking? Recommend type of battery please.** A: The 50 lb. thrust kayak series motor will push a 12ft John boat easily. The question is whether it has a long enough shaft to fully submerge the propeller. If the propeller is less than foot below the water it will cavitate at the higher power settings. Fully extended my motor is 19" from the mounting clamp (top of the transom) to the center of the propeller. You need to use a deep cycle marine battery, preferably a AGM sealed type of around 75 Amp hours. I am using two 35 Amp batteries wired in series, which after 4 hrs. seems to have plenty of reserve. See photos. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice trolling motor for a kayak *by C***T on November 8, 2018* 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.

It’s mounted to the kayak using the Lifetime kayak trolling motor mount made specifically for this kayak sold separately. Powered by a 114-amp hour Everstart Maxx deep cycle marine battery, this Newport Vessels trolling motor provides plenty of power, doesn’t consume a lot of watts, and can troll for hours on the slower speed settings (1-3). At speeds 4-5, your battery range goes down considerably, but that’s true of any trolling motor. It’s quite heavy, so it doesn’t feel flimsy. I usually take it out on the bay, and it handles quite well. I also installed a Bullnose rudder to help improve tracking since the Sport Fisher tracks like a battleship. However, I’d trade stability over speed any day of the week. There’s a battery level display on the trolling motor handle itself, but I wouldn’t put too much faith in it. I also have a battery meter on my Minn Kota Power Center battery box. Starting with a fully charged battery, I’ve never run out of juice! After taking it out a total of four times, I noticed that the motor no longer went in reverse! I had to go to Newport Vessels’s website to seek product support. I immediately received an email response asking me to file a warranty claim. Newport Vessel’s customer service and warranty department are second to none. After sending them proof of purchase, pictures of the motor, and a description of the problem, Newport Vessels completely took care of me. This type of confidence in their products and outstanding customer service is rare in today’s market. My faith in Newport Vessels has been restored, and they’ve earned a lifetime customer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Newport Kayak Series 55lb Thrust Transom Mounted Saltwater Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator (24" Shaft) - Newport 12V50Ah Deep Cycle Heavy-Duty Marine Battery, Lightweight & Sealed AGM, Trolling Motor Compatible - Newport Trolling Motor Smart Battery Box Power Center with USB and DC Ports --- ## 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.vn/products/44982374-55lb-kayak-series-trolling-motor-by-newport-vessels](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/44982374-55lb-kayak-series-trolling-motor-by-newport-vessels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
