Great trolling motor and excellent customer service at Newport Vessels

The NP 180 Pro is an excellent motor, lightweight and powerful enough for my Old Town 106PDL! So easy to install with many options on how to run the lines. Had a minor issue with getting the motor to run initially but a call to customer service @ Newport and Stephen was able to walk me through re-programming the controller. A couple minutes later, motor was running perfectly! Efficient motor and great customer service, can't ask for anything more.

A Game-Changer for Kayak Anglers

The NK180Pro offers a perfect blend of power and efficiency, making long-distance trips a breeze. The quiet motor means you won’t spook fish, a huge plus for tournament kayak anglers. I’ve found that I can cover much more water in a day without worrying about the battery life. Installation was straightforward and compatible with most kayak setups, so getting it up and running took no time. Everything you need comes in the box! Overall, the NK180Pro has completely transformed my fishing experience. This motor is a must-have if you’re serious about kayak fishing and want to boost your range and speed. I highly recommend it! If want to see a full video of my set-up - check out this video on my YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U23b36A8yN8&t=5s

Fast delivery

Very fast delivery, ordered and it was delivered to my doorsteps 2 days later. Waiting on the DL battery so I can test it. Also, looking forward to the "LoPro" batteries when they come out.

As fast as advertised!

Been using the Nk180pro all summer and it is much faster than previous model! I’m getting about 0.5mph faster top speed now. Also much more efficient going at lower speeds below 5mph.

Game changing!

Absolutely love my NK180Pro! I have done multi day trips and single day trips, in rivers, lakes and everything between and this motor has been a pleasure to use every single time. The battery life is my favorite thing, you can easily do 2 days of fishing on a 50ah battery without charging and honestly could probably get 3 days!

Warranty

I had an issue with one of my two motors I own , I have a 180 and a 180pro. After submitting a warranty claim, I received the best customer service and Newport resolved the issue right away!

The NK180Pro is worth every penny!

I have had my NK180 Pro since April of this year and have been extremely happy with it. Simple to install. All the hardware was included. Only a couple of bolts purchased to mount the motor plate. Battery life has been exceptional. Speed has been great. Top speed on my Native Slayer Max Propel 12.5 has been 5.3 mph and that is with a tournament day load of gear. Thanks Again Newport for such a great product! Michael Manning Texas Kayak Tournament Angler.

Newport NK180 Pro

Very impressed with the power and ease of installation on this. I have it installed on an Old Town PDL 120 and it’s opened up a whole new level of fishing for me. I can now reach those far away places with ease and with a 50ah batttery I normally only use about 50% of it. Super impressed
