Negative Review - I Never Received this item!

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Extremely Disappointing Customer Service

I ordered multiple items from Newport (NK300 motor, Battery and Kayak series trolling motor) and unfortunately had a very poor customer service experience. The Kayak series motor didn't arrive for several weeks. I tried to follow up and couldn't figure out what is goin on.. So, all in all the Kayak series motor was never delivered, and it took approximately literally 3 weeks of trying to get the issue resolved.

Even after the issue was finally addressed, I received no apology and no explanation for what really happened. I asked to cancel this item of my order list and refund for the missing item. After 3 weeks and finally after I spoke with someone who was suppose to review what happened and all simply removed from my missing trolling motor off the order, and I was left expecting a refund for that portion of the purchase.

I understand that shipping problems happen, but the lack of communication and follow-up and proper explanation was the most disappointing part. After purchasing multiple items, I expected much better customer service.

Id like to find a way to post this review publicly because I think potential customers should know about my experience not just visitors to Newport’s own website which is probably not going to post this negative experience. Overall im very disappointed customer.

Good Motor - Improve the quality of the speed control switch!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I have had a 62lb NV motor for 6 years. It has been great. However, this year I was out in some heavy winds and needed full power to get home... and the motor lost all but low-speed. Some online reading revealed that all brands have a common problem - extended use at full power causes over-heating and burns out the speed control switch.

That switch is the #1 selling part for NV motors. It is not expensive. There are lots of generic switches available too.

With such a common problem, couldn't Newport differentiate themselves from lesser brands by putting in a more robust switch???

I purchased a NV Series 55Lb Trolling motor

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I purchased a 55lb Thrust NV Series Trolling motor. For the price it was a good buy. For the actual usefulness and for a 55lb Thrust Trolling motor I put it on a Bondafide Pwr129 with a Tiller Extension arm. I was hoping to have a bit more power pushing me. In the summer months fishing through hydrilla it slows it down so much I end up just pulling it up and have to paddle. Would I buy another 55Lb NV Series probably not. It makes me wonder how well the NK300 or NK180 would handle types of grass or weeds.

Smooth Power!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

We needed a more powerful motor than a standard 12V trolling unit for our 8’ x 16’ floating dock/boat. I tried a discount no name brand motor and after the first venture out on the lake I realized the quality just wasn’t there; one of the battery charge indicator LEDs wouldn’t light up and the throttle was very finicky for the various speed settings. The Newport NV86 works perfectly, runs much more smoothly and even though rated the same seems to be more powerful than the previous bargain basement motor.

Not enough power to get me through the day of fishing.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I purchased this battery to power my new NV #55 trolling motor. I was told by customer service that this battery would have more than enough power to power my 12 ft aluminum Jon boat. During my first trip with this battery I found that it began to fail/run low on amperage after only a couple hours. It did complete the journey I was making, but the trolling motor was definitely going slower at the end. When I first considered ordering one of these, I was worried that such a small light weight battery would have enough power to get me through a day of fishing. I was right.

Why Do I Have 5 Reverse Speeds And 3 Forward?

•Connected to battery terminals incorrectly
You can get reverse speeds if you have the red battery cable from the trolling motor connected to the negative battery terminal and the black battery cable connected to the positive battery terminals. You can simply flip their placement. If your cables are connected properly, you can swap their placement for a temporary or permanent fix as well.

•Speed Switch Assembled Incorrectly
If the motor is connected to the battery correctly, it's possible the Speed Switch (Part #8) was installed incorrectly from the factory. This is rare but can still happen. You can either use step 1 to resolve your issue or follow the battery cables back into the motor's head and note their installation location on the Speed Switch. You can then flip their placement to reverse the polarity and get the correct speeds. If this is an issue directly after purchasing your product, please contact our support team or fill out our Warranty Claim Form to request a replacement motor.

•Motor Magnets Assembled Incorrectly
It's possible that during assembly at the factory, the magnets were accidentally installed upside down or flipped. This can cause reverse polarity and having your speeds flipped. You can use either step 1 or step 2 to fix this issue.

How Do I Store My Trolling Motor?

Now that you are done with your adventure, you need a place to store your trolling motor. Here are a few examples of great storage locations:

Garage
Shed
Attic
Closet
Basement

Never Store Your Motor In Salt Water!

Our motors are saltwater compatible, but they are not corrosion-proof. Trolling motors need to be washed with fresh water and dried after use in saltwater. Please see all of our Motor Care and Maintenance articles.

•Storing a Motor On A Boat
Storing a motor on a boat is a less than ideal situation. Saltwater can eventually corrode the paint and start to eat away at the metal underneath. Freshwater can cause growth on your motor, which can also damage the paint and parts. Think about houses along the water. Every few years, the owner needs to repaint them due to the saltwater. For this reason, we strongly recommend storing your motor in a sheltered place out of the elements with regular cleaning.

If you have to store your motor on an inflatable dingy while it is on the water, you can do so by leaving the motor on the transom and tilting it into the stowed position. You can also store the motor underneath a seat while not in use. Either option will require something to cover the motor from ocean spray. You can keep the motor in a closet or on deck on a sailboat with something to protect it from the elements.

•Storing While Traveling
For best results, remove the motor from its mounted position and secure it in the back seat, trunk, or on a flat surface where it won’t shift during transit.

•Winter Storage
Winter is coming, and it’s time to put the trolling motor away for next season. Please take some time to remove the propeller and clean any debris. Please give it a final wash with fresh water to remove any leftover saltwater or motor growth. Pay extra attention to where the propeller attaches to the motor. Find a place that is dry and protected from the elements to store it.

•Outdoor Storage During the Winter
We do not recommend outdoor storage of your trolling motor in freezing temperatures. If you experience freezing temperatures, it is best to store the motor inside. If you must keep it outside, store it in a weather-protected area like a shed, underneath a porch under a tarp, etc.

•Removing From Storage
After your trolling motor has been sitting in storage for a long time, you can do a few things to ensure it stays happy and is ready for use:

•Check your propeller for debris.
•Check for corrosion on the motor cables, circuit breaker, or battery and remove if necessary.
•Check your propeller for chips or cracks.
•Charge your battery.

How do I Install my Trolling Motor on a Transom

1) Install the circuit breaker and propeller on your motor. For more detailed instructions on how to assemble your circuit breaker and propeller, please see our Propeller and Circuit Breaker Assembly article.

2) Your motor is shipped with the mount titled vertically. To install the motor, the mount will need to be positioned horizontally. To do this, push the tilt lever (Part #1) towards the shaft while pushing the mount down. NOTE: Make sure your fingers are clear of the moving parts to avoid pinched skin or fingers.

3) Before getting inside your boat with the trolling motor, tighten the Directional Lock (Part #2) and Height Adjustment Collar (Part #3). This will prevent your motor from spinning freely or falling suddenly. Next, slowly lower the motor mount onto your transom. The handle should be facing you, and you should be holding the weight of the motor, so it does not take a swim! You may need to loosen your transom screws (Part #4) to allow enough room for the mount to sit on your transom.

4)Tighten the transom screws, so your motor is tightly positioned in the center of your transom. Screws should be tight and secure but not over-tightened as this can cause the screws to strip or even damage the transom.

5) With a firm grasp on the motor shaft, loosen the Height Adjustment Collar and position the center of the propeller about 12" under the water's surface. Once the appropriate depth has been reached, slide the Height Adjustment collar down to meet the Directional Lock and fully tighten it to lock the height. NOTE: If the Directional Lock is fully tightened, you may need to loosen this part to adjust the motor height.
Tip: Part #1 is used to change the angle of the shaft in the water. This is often used to take the propeller out of the water in order to remove debris. It also can be used to stow the motor out of the water. See the video below for an example of how the motor can be adjusted.

How do I care for the motor after use?

SALTWATER CARE

•Rinse With Fresh Water After Use
After using your motor in salt water, we recommend rinsing it off with fresh water. Make sure you rinse every part below the control head with fresh water. Since the top head is not waterproof, a wet rag can be used to wipe it down.
If you cannot rinse your motor off or remove it from your vessel for storage, we recommend bringing a bucket of freshwater with you to flush your trolling motor. The best method is to unmount your motor and dunk the lower motor unit into the freshwater so that it can rinse the entire motor. You would then dry it off and store it outside of the water.

•Clean Behind Propeller
It is also important to rinse between the propeller and the lower motor unit as saltwater can get trapped here. For best results, remove the blade entirely to clean and check for built-up debris. This is an area where salt can get trapped and eventually cause corrosion if not cared for.
•Dry And Store

After rinsing the motor, dry it off and store it in a dry area with protection from the elements.If you cannot store your motor off your vessel or remove it from its mounting position, the best you can do is cover your motor and place it away from the water. Simply tilting the motor out of the water and covering the top head will offer some protection. If at all possible, rinse the lower unit with water. Please see our How to Store
Your Trolling Motor article for more information on this topic.

Storing your motor in fresh or saltwater could void your two-year limited warranty.

FRESH WATER CARE

•Rinse With Fresh Water After Use
Freshwater has little to no damage to the metal and plastic on this motor, but other growth can eventually harm it. After each use, you should quickly rinse off any plant matter or growth accumulated on your motor and dry it.
If you cannot rinse your motor off or remove it from your vessel for storage, we recommend bringing a bucket of fresh water with you to flush your trolling motor. The best method is to unmount your motor and dunk the lower motor unit into the freshwater so that it can rinse the entire motor. You would then dry it off and store it outside of the water.

•Clean Behind Propeller
Generously soak the area between the propeller and the lower motor unit. This area is prone to a build-up of debris. For best results, remove the propeller, clean all debris and wash it down.

•Dry and Store
Make sure your motor has been dried before storage. Moisture could cause mold growth. It’s best to store your motor in a building with protection from the elements.
If you cannot store your motor off your vessel or remove it from its mounting position, the best you can do is cover your motor and place it away from the water. Simply tilting the motor out of the water and covering the top head will offer some protection. If at all possible, rinse the lower unit with water. Please see our How to Store Your Trolling Motor article for more information on this topic.

Storing your motor in fresh or saltwater could void your two-year limited warranty.

Why is there a Prop 65 warning on Newport products?

Products with any amount of substances covered by Proposition 65 — even at levels that may not be harmful — must carry this warning unless proven to have “no significant risk” of exposure.
