X-Series Thrust Transom Mounted Saltwater Electric Trolling Motor

I bought this for a 10' plastic pond boat. It has plenty of power and works great.

Great performance on my 16 foot freighter canoe. I bought a 65Ah battery at Canadian Tire, which let me use the motor for about 2 full hours at full thrust (approx 500lb of load in the canoe, including the canoe itself). I use it for moving from a fishing spot to another. It is very quiet and the 5th speed feels very powerful. On its first use, I did hit a rock on the bottom of the lake (not very far from land) at full thrust and speed, but it did not affect the motor at all. The fin of the bottom the motor casing is very solid and seems to protect the impeller. The battery gauge on the top is very useful.

Quiet, strong, with a range of speeds. It was terrific for trolling in the lake. Battery indicator very useful. Ran for hours without dropping significantly. Best trolling motor I have ever seen.

I’m usually a Minn Kota or Motorguide guy but they are expensive. I’ve heard of Newport Marine before but never tried anything. This motor was a lot cheaper than other options and seems to be just as well made. I’m glad I gave Newport a try.

This motor pushes my 14 foot aluminum with 3 adults with no effort at all. I can't say anything negative about it. Does not use a whole lot of battery power. It reviewed very high all over the place and Amazon is the only place I found it in Canada. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a decent trolling motor. Full Disclosure: the first motor I got lost 2nd reverse gear after 2 days. Replacement came in 4 days and has performed flawlessly. Doesn't affect my opinion of this motor and brand in any way
