Awesome motor

I have a Native Propel 12.5 Slayer and recently added the NK 300. I can motor around all day at 3.5mph at 20% and still go 6.5mph to get off the lake!! Light and powerful. If weeds get built up on the prop, I just pop it in reverse for half a second and away I go again. Love it!!

I love this motor!

The NK300 is a wonderful kayak motor in every sense of the word. I previously purchased and used the NK180 which is also terrific, but I purchased a large and heavy inflatable yak for the Susquehanna River and I wanted the bigger, more powerful motor to deal with that strong current. To say I was impressed is an understatement! The current was no match and the speed I was getting was off the charts. None of my buddies could keep up with me. In addition, the NK300 is incredibly rugged. The Susky is very rocky and the motor took a real beating, but it was never phased by the brutal conditions. I have now had this motor for more than a year and I couldn’t be happier. IMO, it’s the best kayak motor on the market, and yes, I have owned the orange motor too and I stand by this statement. There is no better motor value on the market. Hands down. Go get you one. You won’t regret it.

Definitely a great investment!

This is my first new NK300, but I own a used one from a Kayak purchase. I really like it when fishing in the Puget Sound. It’s fast and fun! July recommended.

Nk300

Hands down best motor on the market well worth the price. I have an ascend 133x and this thing moves it like it was nothing. Highly recommend to anyone that can afford and is looking for a motor that moves their kayak like it was a speed boat. Thank you Newport vessels for this amazing product

NK 300 on Native Slayer max

I absolutely love this motor and the newport battery! The install was simple and it was nice to not have to buy additional items to complete it. The motor performance was amazing. I used it for a week long fishing trip in Northern Minnesota without a hiccup. On one particular day the weather turned sour and I needed to get off the lake quickly. The power that this motir has made a potential dangerous situation routine. The battery app. Made it also convenient to check my power while fishing for the week. I also appreciate the tutorials for getting started with the motor and trouble shooting potential issues. I liked this setup so much, I just ordered another NK300 for my Hobie Pro Angler. Great product!

NK300 steering issues at high power

Installing 2-NK300 motor on his & her TitanX 12.8 & 10.5 kayaks. I'm reading online about steering issues once power is above 50%. 1. Many have written online that Kayak rudder steering alone is not adequate, as the motor overpowers the stock rudder system. 2. Its written online that motor steering at greater than 50% power generates a great deal of motor torque. This make steering very difficult using cable systems, as a lot of force is required to make a turn. It's been written that hand steering via cables may break the plastic steering arm. For example, the Tim Percy system. Also, it's written that plastic foot controls are not strong enough and plastic pedals bend. Reports say aluminum foot pedals are required so the most force can be applied to turn the motor at higher speeds. Seems to me the root of the problem in these cases is that the NK300 motor is still using the 180 series small, plastic, steering triangle. The solution to the written NK300 steering difficulties may be a redesigned, longer, larger metal steering triangle that makes a stronger "lever" to control the NK300's steering torque once power is greater than 50%. This seems a safety issue, in my opinion. Curious on NP's thoughts regarding this matter. You can read the written reports many online users have written, as I have done. I have 2 Tim Percy steering systems shipping that I plan to try. Our 2 NK300 motors are still shipping. Thank you!

Customer Service

The customer service did a good job helping we will an issue I had with my NK300 motor. I’m not sure exactly why the motor would not work but Newport replaced my NK300 within a few weeks. The unit is a great motor. I can run it all day and there’s plenty of juice left. I can maintain 4 miles an hour in San Diego Bay, and that’s with the throttle at 30% . Overall, I’m extremely happy with the motor and it’s performance.
