36lb Kayak Series Trolling Motor by Newport

This is the second one of these we have purchased and they are both working beautifully.Easy to install. East to set up. Works great. No vibration. Lightweight enough. Easy to take off and put on. Perfect fit. Goes a good speed

Perfect for my paddleboard.

Provides plenty of power to move my canoe on the water.

I bought used/like new. Some issues with it that were easily resolved. Head was reversed and screw was stripped. Wire inside was pinched, But it was a good deal and Amazon’s wonderful customer service offered a great discount.

The media could not be loaded. Perfect motor for my Coracle! Speed 5 with the 36 pound thrust as about as fast as I would want to go. I went out for a couple hours and the motor worked perfectly for my experimental boat. The battery indicator lights indicated a full charge after a couple hours of fun, but the battery is taking some hours to recharge, so I don't know if the lights are accurate. I'm going to try it on my canoe next. I think the 55 pound thrust would be even better, but probably would drain the battery more. But the 36 is definitely perfect for the Coracle.

Excellent product. I have used them for over a year and they are a great product

This had so much more power than I had expected, it’s a very good quality product. When running there is little to no vibration at all.Would recommend

I first purchased a Minn Kota Endura 50 and when it arrived the motor had a horrible grinding and popping noise. As stated on the packaging I called Minn kota rather than returning to Amazon for service. The nearest service center is about an hour away so I informed them I would rather simply return the faulty unit than drive an hour both ways twice to drop off and pick up. I then purchased this Newport 36 and when it arrived there was a huge hole in th box as if the whole motor was pulled through the box (thanks Amazon driver) however when I hooked it up to my battery it is whisper quiet. Another thing I noticed about the Minn Kota was that the transom mounting bolts on it were very sloppy where the Newport mounting bolts are tight and secure. Having examined both up close I would purchase the Newport over the Kota every time. Just my 2 cents.
