I fish tidal waters quite a bit. Now with my NK 180 I have the power needed to get me were I need to be! Since equipping my kayak with the Nk 180 I also have doubled the distance I can travel. This motor has been a game changer in the tournaments and really look forward much more use out of it! Thanks Newport!!

My experience with my Nk 180 has been nothing but positive. It has allowed me to change up the way I pre fish and the water I am able to cover. On a 60 ah battery my Nk 180 will run me strong for 2 days straight! I look forward to getting the 300 someday, but the 180 will definitely get any job done when needed!

NK 180

My motor came complete as ordered and packaged well with no issues. Installation was straightforward and after testing in open water, I am really impressed with the overall quality and setup.

Great spare parts

Love this motor and how they give you spare parts that are essential to the motor operation. Spare fob, spare motor mount nut, spare rope.
