I have the 55lb model of this brand on my 12 foot boat. It’s doing a great job.

Nice thanks for the feedback

This is the same setup I have on my shoalie but I put the battery into the front hatch that I cut out. I do recommend the extended tiller handle with the "jointed" connection. I can steer from a forward facing position with the tiller handle setting beside me.

@@WadeHarrison i Run the cables through the hull and drilled the center of the access hatch lid for a trolling plug receptacle. I run the tiller handle through a loop on my seat and it sets beside me for easy access. Next summer I may do a PWM and foot steering but I have not decided yet.

How did you get it in a bundle?? I paid 99 for the mount, 199 for the 55lb motor and had to buy a power pole mount for 120 then the 12v 60ah lithium battery for 268! Still way cheaper then the newport180, bixpy, and torqueedo

@@jeremypeterson7384 I just bought each one separately the mount I had on another boat and the battery i ordered and the motor I ordered the cooler I got with my K craft all I was pretty happy with I want to setup the foot steering and up and down lift that’s a project for later but pretty affordable compared to a lot set up

I really want one of these, but since Newport says they are designed for lead acid batteries (which I can't lift), I'm sitting on the fence about it. This is from their website "All Newport trolling motors are designed to be used with Lead-Acid style Deep Cycle or Marine batteries (Flooded, SLA, AGM or Gel). The use of Lithium batteries is not recommended and won't be compatible with some of the features offered on our motors. For more information, please read our post Lithium Batteries With Trolling Motors?" I'm pretty sure these days that most people are using lithium batteries though, I'm just worried about voiding a warranty.

I'm going to get one anyway, the thing is to not run them at full power for long distances, evidently without a battery management system to regulate the voltage, at full power lithium batteries put out more power than lead acid which can cause the motor to overheat which will damage it. The features that aren't compatible that Newport is talking about (when using a lithium battery) is the battery power level metering system because of how the batteries get depleted, I guess lead acid will show a gradual decline and lithium will pretty much show full power until there is none, lol. Anyway, thanks for taking the effort and making the video, I'll probably buy your exact setup. Except I'll be running it on a paddleboard, haha.

Might have something to do with the lithium battery not reading correctly with the battery indicator on the trolling motor.

Wade, thanks for the review, great job as always. couple questions. 1. what is your favorite app for measuring gps speed on the water for your phone? 2. Have you seen or tried this motor on a CK1 Venture ( and I apologize if you did and I overlooked the video).. Thanks, Scott

@@ADKMuskyFoolonFly63 I have 2 CK1 Ventures and decided to go with the Newport Vessels 55 lbs motors for both. I must say, this motor pushes those kayaks along quite well! I put a piece of 1” solid wood on the transom to give the motor mount grips more security. It’s primitive but it works really well. Of course it’s a lot cheaper than installing a motor mount. Also I have the extension handles ‘with the knuckle’ which especially helps with steering. Way better than the straight extension with no knucle! Worth the extra money for sure! Anyway, i hope this is helpful. And I hope you have some great times on the water with your CK1!

Oh for sure

Thanks for the video. Newport recommends to only use lead acid batteries with their kayak trolls due to possible problems with li-ion. Have you noticed any problems? Am concerned about long term problems.

@@WadeHarrison I just picked up a 10' angler Kayak at Tractor Supply for $250. My next move is to fabricate something to put a 2hp 4stroke Honda on it. Picked up a bunch 1 1/4" PVC pipe tonight to build some outrigger's on it first. I want to take my 50lb Cattle Dog with me & it's only rated at 275lb capacity. I'm sure I will make it work & for $250 I couldn't pass it up either way. The little 2hp Honda has been sitting around for year with nothing to attach it to. It's on now & then it's FISH ON 🐟 😎👍
