Electric Trolling Motor for Saltwater Kayaks (24 Shaft)

The Newport Kayak Series 55Lb Thrust Electric Trolling Motor is designed specifically for kayak anglers, drawing on the company's years of trolling motor design and manufacturing experience to create a motor that caters to the unique needs of this user group. This is the first kayak-specific motor to offer top-level performance in a reliable and high-quality package at an affordable price, backed by Newport's industry-renowned customer service team based in California.

The Kayak Series Trolling Motor is Newport's first kayak-specific offering, building on the trusted design of the company's NV Series trolling motors. The motor features a height-adjustable 24-inch shaft for proper depth placement, catering to the needs of kayak and canoe anglers. To ensure compatibility with transom-mount kayaks and canoes, the motor is equipped with extended battery cabling to allow for flexible battery placement and optimal weight distribution.

The motor offers a smooth and efficient ride, with five forward speeds and three reverse speeds, along with a 5-LED battery indicator to keep users informed of their remaining run time. The 55Lb thrust motor comes equipped with a 3-blade propeller designed to reduce drag, balancing efficiency and thrust for optimal performance. The Kayak Series Trolling Motor is intended to be powered by a single 12-volt lead-acid deep cycle or marine battery (not included).

Fishing from a kayak allows anglers to get close to the action without scaring away bass and other shallow-water fish. The use of a trolling motor enables quick access to favorite coves, allowing anglers to spend their day casting rather than fighting the current or paddling through chop and the wakes of larger boats. The ultra-quiet operation of the Newport Kayak Series 55Lb Thrust Trolling Motor ensures a stealthy approach, placing anglers right on top of fish that bigger boats can only dream of.

The Kayak Series Trolling Motor's 24-inch fiberglass shaft allows for variable depth placement, offering a lifetime of dependable performance. The motor's 8-speed control (5 forward and 3 reverse) with a 6-inch telescoping handle provides users with total control over their ride. Designed for saltwater use, the motor features a durable all-aluminum head with corrosion-resistant magnesium, zinc, and stainless-steel hardware. The extra-long, 5'6" battery cables facilitate versatile battery placement, ensuring optimal weight distribution.
