Newport NK180 Kayak Trolling Motor Brushless 1.8hp Equivalent

The NK-180S kayak motor from Newport offers excellent performance and power, making it an ideal choice for any kayak angler seeking to increase their range and catch more fish, whether in fresh or salt water. This brushless motor boasts exceptional efficiency and remarkably low noise levels, thanks to its direct drive design that allows for a stealthy approach to fish.

The motor can be powered by two affordable 12V lead acid deep cycle batteries or lighter-weight 12V lithium batteries. It offers two operating modes, 24V and 25.9V, enabling it to be used with either 2x 12V GEL, Lead Acid, or lithium deep cycle batteries, or a single 25.9V Lifepo4 battery (the latter expected in summer 2021). This versatility significantly enhances the effective range for any paddler, making it a valuable asset on the water.

The motor can be easily mounted using a 4-bolt PowerPole-style stern mount, or it can be installed directly into the deck of a kayak. The pivoting mount allows it to easily pass over underwater obstacles, while the durable aluminum motor head is built to withstand the rigors of the outdoor environment.

Steering can be set up to turn the motor like a rudder using the kayak's existing foot braces, or a pin can lock the motor in a forward drive position for use on SUPs and inflatable kayaks. The reverse function is enabled with a pull cord, which locks the motor in a deployed position, preventing the propeller from lifting out of the water while backing up.

Regardless of your level of experience, the NK-180 offers an efficient and powerful motor in a durable package. The 1.8hp equivalent Direct Drive motor provides quiet and efficient power delivery without the use of internal gears, allowing you to reach speeds of up to 5 knots.

Newport has been serving the marine industry since 2009 and stands behind every product they sell with a 2-year warranty and a customer service team that is readily available to assist you. Choose the NK-180S kayak motor from Newport for a reliable and feature-rich solution to enhance your kayak fishing adventures.
