The Control Foil made my Crescent CK 2 Venture Much more nimble
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The Control Foil is a great addition the NK 180 HD motor. It has made my big Crescent CK2 venture much for nimble and responsive on the water. It was easy to install and makes an immediate difference out on the water. Very helpful in lakes and makes working in current even better as well.

Excellent Addition to My Old Town PDL 120
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I added the Newport NK180 Series Control Foil to my NK180 HD on my Old Town PDL 120, and it was a great upgrade. It was easy to install, and I noticed better tracking and smoother steering right away. It keeps the kayak on course with less effort, especially in wind and current. Definitely worth it if you’re running an NK180 HD.

Perfect for a kayak with a heavier front end
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
It lifts up the front of my bonafide SS127 where I store the battery so its not dragging as much in the water and feel I lot lighter to steer now. I love it

I Have TAKEN CONTROL!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I recently purchased the new Control Foil for my NK180HD motor.
I cannot wait to get it in the water this weekend to try it out.
It was incredibly easy to install, no adjustments were needed just eight screws.
I am excited to see the performance this addition will provide.

It helps…
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Definitely helps for efficiency of the motor and turning at lower speeds, $70 is a little steep for it coming straight from China.

A great product that allows you to steer even when not under power and makes maneuvering in tight spaces much more manageable. Installation was a breeze with great resources to cover any questions!
