Product Overview

I have been around boats and the water my entire life, so I know the importance of having a reliable, efficient trolling motor. That is why I decided to try the Newport NV Series 62lb Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor. I was immediately impressed by the high quality build of this motor, which allows it to run all day long without overheating or making noise that would spook fish.

This motor features a 36 inch shaft, a 5 LED battery meter, a 6 inch telescoping tiller handle, and 3 blade propeller. It also has 8 speeds 5 forward and 3 reverse and is designed for trolling, with the top speed being about 4.25mph depending on several factors. The mount angle, height, and direction can all be adjusted and locked into place when needed.

The NV 62lb motor requires one 1 12V Lead Acid Deep Cycle or Lithium Deep Cycle battery battery not included , with 50ah recommended. The motor also includes a 60amp circuit breaker which is recommended at all times to protect from battery voltage surges. Max Amp Draw: 58A.

When it comes to ease of installation and use, this Newport Vessels product does not disappoint. It was very easy to install and took me only about 30 minutes from start to finish. The 6 inch telescoping tiller handle makes maneuvering the boat much easier than with other models I ve used in the past. Plus, the 5 LED battery meter lets you know exactly how much power is left in your battery so you can plan accordingly for longer trips out on the water.

In terms of value for money, this product definitely gets an A from me! It s reasonably priced compared to other motors of similar quality and power output, and is sure to last you many years of reliable performance out on the water. Plus, it comes with a one year warranty which gives you added peace of mind should anything go wrong during those first 12 months of ownership.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase of the Newport NV Series 62lb Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator 36 Shaft! This motor is perfect for any boater looking for reliable power and efficiency without breaking the bank. With its high quality build, adjustable mount angle and direction settings, 5 LED battery meter for monitoring your power levels and 8 speeds for optimal control over your boat s movement this product has everything you need for a successful day out on the water!
