NK300HD has upped my fishing!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I’ve been extremely happy with my Newport NK300HD. It has plenty of power, runs efficiently, and has been a great fit for my kayak fishing setup. The motor performs exactly as I’d hoped and gives me the confidence and range I want when I’m out on the water. Just as impressive has been the customer service from Newport. Cody and Randy have both been fantastic to work with—knowledgeable, responsive, friendly, and always willing to answer questions. You can tell they know their products and genuinely care about their customers. Between the performance of the NK300HD and the quality of Newport’s support team, I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Five stars all around, and I’d confidently recommend Newport to any kayak angler.

Go with the 300HD

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Glad I spoke to Newport and went with the 300HD. Great motor setup with the low profile 36V 50AH battery. First motor, first few outings were to dial it in, but have now fished over 20 miles of river. Cannot recommend this setup enough.

Nk300

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I've been extremely impressed with the Newport NK300. Installation was straightforward, and the motor is incredibly quiet, smooth, and powerful. It has more than enough thrust to move my fully rigged kayak while still being very efficient on battery life.

What is the NK HD Series?

What’s different compared to previous NK motors?
