    Good so far.
    I use it on my hunting kayak.I get 4mph on high in a fully loaded sit on top fishing kayak.Super quiet.Low battery drain.Speeds are perfect.Holds up great so far. I've ran it into rocks and trees many times in the dark.Adjustments are clunky for raising and lowering and tilting the unit.A plastic washer sleeve came out, looks like an easy fix. I'd recommend oil where the shaft rotates to turn.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice trolling motor for a kayak
    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018
    Old Review:
    I bought this trolling motor for my Field & Stream Shadowcaster 123 kayak,and I really liked it, but just felt it was a little too heavy for installing to the side of the kayak, so I returned it and ended up going with a more installed, transom mount solution instead. I do wish I had bought this motor for my canoe instead of the Watersnake brand that I bought, because this motor doesn't need the shaft cut. Although it may seem a little trivial, I like that this motor comes in grey even though it's saltwater rated (which is typically white).

    New Review:
    Okay, so my original kayak trolling motor prematurely died on me, so rather than wasting time and money returning it for warranty service, I decided to buy this Newport Vessels NV Series motor again. As you can see from the pics, I heavily modified it for my kayak mount (there goes that warranty). It's incredibly quiet and very fast. For the first test run I was fishing for ~5 hours, covering about 4 miles with the last 2 of the miles being at full speed returning to the launch. I have two small 35AH batteries in parallel and had 70% charge left when I got home and put the batteries on a charger, so this motor is really light on the juice. Although my initial impression was that it was a little too heavy for a kayak (and I still stand by that opinion for side mounting), it's actually fine on the stern. I have the batteries stowed in bow compartment (which is why I chose two small ones rather than one big one), so it balances out the weight nicely. I did add the Bullnose Rudder to it, and it provides an overall big improvement in tracking and turning. It's also nice to just use it as a rudder to provide a little steering when just drifting. Great motor -- works very well and looks good. I'm probably going to buy the same motor for my canoe and pick up the 36-lb version for other smaller kayak.
