I have the 55lb model of this brand on my 12 foot boat. It’s doing a great job.
Nice thanks for the feedback
the battery indicator is sort of useless with a lithium batt. The bms is always giving all the power it can until it cant and shuts off. and that's how the meter will read. You need a shunt or some lithium batts have a built in Bluetooth shunt... I just stopped worrying about it. 100AH lifepo4 in a kayak will go all day long if you keep your speed down. The battery can usually last way longer than I do.
The battery indicator on mine went down after hour of use I have yet to run 100amphr battery complete out on a trip
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.
Nice thanks for the tip I’m going to get one those
And wear do you have the power cables coming out did you drill a hole for that
@@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.
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.
At the price these sell for I’m good using whatever on them I don’t understand why they only want lead acid batteries I’m going to be using a lifepo4 and have been useing it and seems to be going just fine
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.
Just ordered mine today @ Amazon on sale $109.00 / they also mentioned it could work with both ( led acid & lithium batteries) there’s people using them for years , no problem.
Thanks for that, just ordered one too. Did you order a battery as well? @@JoseRuiz-cw5ei
Might have something to do with the lithium battery not reading correctly with the battery indicator on the trolling motor.
hey wade i just got this motor and the transome mount didnt come with hardware what did you use to secure it to the back of your kayak?
Mine did not have inserts back there don’t know if the others do but I drilled out and put 3” 1/4 20 screws with washers and lock nuts and washers on the bottom it’s a very tight fit because of the step down design but made it work
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
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
I have not tried it on the CK1 and the app I use is in the Apple Store as speedometer app
@@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!
@@paulearle5361 thanks Paul, appreciate the feedback
I'm wondering if it would work better up front. I think it could be steered alot easier & it's just for trolling. Just a thought
If i had a bow mount I would
@@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 🐟 😎👍
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.
Oh that’s very interesting I have not seen that and I have used it few times now and each time has been hours and have not seen any issues no way I’m using lead acid with this so time will tell
@@WadeHarrison i think it stuffs up the charge cycle..great content btw.
Where can I pick up one those batteries?
Yeah i put Links in the description to everything in the video..
Can , you tell me the size of the tiller extension on motor handle/ thanks.
Let me check and will get back with you I’m thinking 36”
Just ordered this motor for my CK1. Would you say it gets you moving faster than what you can do paddling at max effort? Thanks!
Oh for sure
I like I’m gonna buy some Kiki of motor???
Yes good idea
how long run time with current setup?
I have not actually ran it completely out yet so next trip will test that
How much weight total you pushing?
I’m 180 battery 25 the boat is 70 plus cooler so let’s say about 275/280 total
Anyone what kayak that is?
This is the crescent kayaks K-Craft
It's a noisy model
I think it’s fairly quite
