86LB thrust (2025 update long story short I love this motor!)

The media could not be loaded. UPDATED PICTURES AND REVIEW AFTER 100 fishing trips. 3/24/2025. I will leave my original review but add too it. I still like the motor. Very fast(3.5mph by itself). It absolutely still serves its purpose. Never any issues with 500+ hrs between my dad and I.Only issues are-battery indicator on top is worthless. THE FIX- Just make sure your battery’s are charged and do not risk it(recommend Noco onboard charger 10x3).-there is no creeping going up the bank, even first gear is 2+ mph and I’m being picky but a little loud. THE FIX- I have enjoyed using this motor to help get us to the other side of lake first thing in morning then use front motor to creep up banks. I don’t mean to exaggerate the noise, not bad but noticeable.-Vibration. It’s not terrible but the handle definitely wobbles/vibrates at top speed but it is worth it for extra speed vs 55/62lb options. I can only get 2.5mph out of the front 55lb thrust minkota edge($100 on marketplace).THE FIX- I have not attempted to play with mitigating the vibration. Also not a big deal just being transparent with issues that are frustrating (even if only make you mad a little lol)Next upgrade for me is new lithium batteries to drop some weight. Still rocking 3 27 size 100ah+ ($100 each) from Walmart. 2 for rear motor. 1 for front motor and electronics. It’s been GREAT! This setup got my and pops fishing on my small budget. Grateful for that. Lots of fish caught and even more memories made. You all can imagine your typical 35yr old son and 70year old dad fishing. LOL Hope this helps. Buy the motor. I would again. I’ll be looking at the nt300 down the road for a jon boat build!6/1/2024Disclaimer!!!!!! I have only used the Newport motor once so I can’t give feedback on long term yet but I’ll update back over time if things change. I’m no expert at all but I have had maybe 10 trolling motors over the years and can compare speed-vibration-battery life-ergonomics-etc from them to it. Overall yes I am happy with it and will NOT be returning it. It’s very nice with only one major flaw. First gear is way too aggressive. This new newport 86lb is faster in first gear than my 40lb at full power. Creeping ultra quietly down the bank is not easy anymore.I WANT TO GIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FIRST.Only one issue so far, first gear is super aggressive. It’s not bad enough for me to return, just something to note. First gear, the slowest option is 2.5mph. For example my 40lb first gear is maybe little over half of a mph. So an immediate 2.5mph is very jerky, so if you are moving on small ponds just get the 62lb that runs 12v. If you are fishing bigger reservoirs or state parks, etc get this 86lb. I covered so much more water today now that I’m moving double the speed. I wish it was possible to have a slower first gear to creep from spot to spot. It’s much more aggressive than I would like first gear to be. IF the guy upfront is standing you better let him know before you turn the motor on. It’s funny with my buddy in his 30s, but my dad in his 70s is going to have a balance problem if he is standing LOL. Creeping ultra quietly down the bank is not possible. Reverse is perfect! Very powerful too.With this new 86lb I’m now able to get over 4mph while using both motors even with weight of 3 big batteries and 2 180-200lb guys and our rods, the front motor and battery/etc. The motor seems very nice quality, reminds me of minn kota. I would rank this quality higher feel than my motorguides (r3 ) but lower than min kotas. The lever clicks are very solid, like I like my adjustments on an optic. I want to hear and feel the change. I ran it all day today and the battery light only went down 3 bar! Nothing got hot either.INCLUDES THE CABLE YOU NEED TO RIN 24v!I took a picture of wiring and batteries to help others get setup. Super simple To run the 24v needed. I picked up 2 deep cycle marine batteries (pictured) at Walmart for $100 each. They are both 100+ah batteries. This 86lb came with the cable to run from one batteries positive, to the other batteries negative. Then you hook the motor up wires to the open positive and negative posts.Battery voltage indicator is such a nice feature. I will reply back to tell you how accurate it is. UPDATE NOT ACCURATE!Vibration seemed normal. Nothing to crazy. I was able to turn on full speed and it stayed straight with my hand even off it. Big bonus for that when you need to cover a lot of water it’s nice to take your hand off for a second.This Newport 86lb motor seems to only weigh slightly more than a normal 55lb troller. Also a win. Easy to take on and off boat if you need to.

Great unit

I bought this motor approximately two years ago and I have been very happy with it. Has worked just the way it said it should and it pushes my boat along very nicely. Great product and I would buy one again.

All around great product

This product has truly has exceeded my expectations. It pulls my boat no problem and works like a dime. The 5 different speeds are perfect for dialing in to what you need for that moment. On the highest speed (5) its powerful enough to create a nice little wake and generate a good amount of speed. Id highly recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic but too fast for trolling

If you’ve decided you’re buying a trolling motor for your kayak, you can stop looking, this can’t be beat with anything in its price range. Don’t be hard headed like me and go ahead and get some decent outriggers too, the two can make a kayak like a mini bass or skiff boat and can open up wind/wave limits and distances that were unsafe before.I may have had equally good customer service from another company but certainly not better! I had some vibration first time out, emailed them while not sure if it was motor or mount they replied in a few hours and then overnighted me a new prop, hardware and pins. Less than 24hours ownership and parts were shipped. Turned out pin got bent somehow but it’s pretty smooth now.I’m using a $90 lead acid 100ah battery, run it mostly on speed 4, inshore of Gulf of Mexico, stopping to fish occasionally, with 10mph+ winds, 1-2’ waves, I’ll use 5 if I need to maneuver quicker, and I get over 6 miles before the 4th light starts to flash which I treat as my “head back” indicator. I’m sure I could get 7 if needed and maybe up to 8 in smooth calm lake conditions. The battery indicators are bright enough to see in the sun but maybe a touch bright at night. They can’t be turned off but nothing a little piece of tape won’t fix.The wind gets rough here and sometimes I wish I got the 44lb vs 36 but ultimately the weight savings was worth it for me and this is fine. It gives my pelican catch 100 top speed of 3.5mph while average cruise in 4th gear is 3mph. Sit back, relax and enjoy the view, you’re not getting there quick.My one complaint, with my kayak anyway, speed one is just a touch too fast so when I cast a paddle tail in front of me while in 1st, I can’t reel it in fast enough to keep it swimming which totally ruins the action of the lure. If I try to troll behind me with 3/16oz 4/0 weighted hook it just breaks the surface. That’s a bit of a let down for me but I have a pretty light kayak so it may not be a common experience. I’ve only had it out a hand full of times so I’m sure I’ll learn the trick eventually.I was frequently limited by conditions I wasn’t comfortable in but this and yak gear outriggers mean I can safely and comfortable go out on rougher days and cover lots of ground which give me even more stress relief! Weekly trips vs closely monitoring conditions.

Like it

It is a good trolling motor . I have it on a 13.4 gregor and it pushes it pretty good

It Works.

I got the 55lb thrust, so it comes with a bigger prop. It's fun to go through the gears, but man, from 4th to 5th gear it's got this power boost, for a little electric motor, the suckers got some kick, keeping in mind my boat is 10ft. and light weight.

Feels sturdy

Very heavy duty feeling compared to my 3 year old minn kota. Nice strong thrust and good build.
