Review: More than enough power for my kayak - I purchased this motor 1 month ago and attached it to my 12 ft double kayak. My first trip was in Wellfleet Harbor in Cape Cod Bay. I put in from Great Island and went out to Billingsgate I. I trolled some lures for bluefish and drifted for fluke. The fishing was terrible but the motor was great. I could only use up to 3 setting. That zipped me along at a nice speed. when I set it to 4, my motor mount dug into the water and was splashing water into the kayak. Maybe I had too much power, I was wondering? the day was nice and calm. It was a joy to land right into shore which has a lot of rocks on the approach. The tilt function was excellent and allowed me to avoid the rocks. On the way back, a breeze sprung up and the tide was with me coming in. No problems. I bought a 75AH deep-cycle sealed battery to run the motor. (Weighs 60 lbs) This was from advice in "On the Water" magazine which had an excellent article on motorizing your kayak. I estimated I used the motor for 6 hours. As I was coming into the landing, the battery petered out. The whole trip was 10 miles. The motor took 12.5 amps/hr using it on the 2 and 3 speeds. 7.5 amps/mile. A few days later, my daughter Laura and I went from Morris Is. put in in Chatham over to Monomoy Is. We were hoping to explore Monomoy. However, a very stiff 20MPH SW wind was against us crossing the channel. With the extra weight of another person, I could use the 4 setting. There were whitecaps and 2 ft waves. With the motor we pushed through the elements. Again the motor mount caught some water and splashed it into the kayak. I bailed and ran the motor and Laura paddled. We made it to Monomoy OK. I don't think we would have without the motor. A couple in a kayak coming back looked exhausted. They pointed at the motor and said: "Next time we're going to get one of those!'. We explored some and ate lunch. On the way back, the wind was at our back and we were still taking on water. We got back just fine though. It was 1.5 miles to Monomoy so a 3 mile round trip. The battery was still pretty fully charged. I'm glad I purchased this motor. I can do things now that would kill me just paddling. I have a 12 ft aluminum boat that I used to have a 9.9hp gas motor on that no longer works. I feel confident that this motor would push that boat OK. I would be able to use the 5 setting if I needed to. We'll see how long this motor performs. I'm done with MinnKotas. They (2) wore out on me after 2 years use. Review: Nice Motor - I use this on my 15' ft. Aluminum Klamath Boat.

Prob got up to 5 or 6 mph. I never did it for very long though so not sure how long the battery would last doing that all day. Goes pretty slow until you kick it into the 5th gear and then you feel a nice push. Also have not tried it into any kind of head wind or current. **Q: I want to know the horsepower of the Newport Vessels 55 Pound Thrust 8 Electric Trolling Motor to see if it is allowed in the lake I want to us it in?** A: In the product description it says Power - 55lb Thrust (0.83HP Equivalent) so it is less than 1 horse power. I use the 55 pound thrust version on a 16ft canoe with fishing gear battery etc totaling 220lbs plus my fat butt of 260 and have had one other person weighing in at 300lbs totaling 780lbs and this motor in top speed (5) does the job with ease nicely, even in high winds. As for using it on a lake that depends on if you are in America, the state you are in and what the state and local laws are on lakes. My state requires the boat to be registered if using a gas or electric motor. **Q: Is it made for salt water?** A: Hi, Yes! All of our motors are rated for both Salt and Freshwater. We recommend rinsing your trolling motor with freshwater after use in saltwater. This will help extend the motor's lifespan.

Simple, sturdy design. No complaints. *by R***0 on October 15, 2025* I got this for puttering around lakes on an inflatable boat. It does this perfectly. Screws right onto your transom. Turn to steer, twist for throttle, all in near-silence. Like all trolling motors regardless of power, speed will not exceed 5mph. This is plenty fast for puttering around lakes. I’ve heard about propeller upgrades that might get you another 1mph, but haven’t tried that myself. If you want to go faster, you’ll need to spend thousands more for either an electric outboard that might go 2mph faster, or a gas outboard that will go much faster but be loud, smelly, and illegal on many lakes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Newport 12V50Ah Deep Cycle Heavy-Duty Marine Battery, Lightweight & Sealed AGM, Trolling Motor Compatible - INTEX 68624EP Motor Mount Kit: Easy to Attach – Heavy-duty Composite Mount – Marine Plywood – Aluminum Support Arms – Fits up to 3.0 HP Motors --- ## 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.gr/products/1296149-55lb-nv-series-trolling-motor-by-newport](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/1296149-55lb-nv-series-trolling-motor-by-newport) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
