From excellent to garbage the journey

Had to send my nk300 back on a warranty claim customer service was awesome and quick to respond and send me a new motor, only problem was the brand new motor came with a controller that had alot of moisture in it from the factory. After talking to other newport representatives i was told that was definitely was not acceptable and to file another claim. I sent the second motor back 2 weeks ago now and newport has been in possession of it for over a week and still has not sent another yet. I have been told that I'd receive calls to update on the progress but have yet to get a call or update. As a tournament angler who depends on quantity and reliability this raises serious concerns.

No/300

Well, I actually just received it yesterday. Haven’t gotten a chance to install it on my kayak or my sons kayak but we plan on doing that this weekend and putting it out on the water for our first go round with such an incredible electric motor current friends that are using that Specific motor is the reason why I purchased two of them from Newport everybody that I spoke with had nothing but good things to say about it so I figured it’s Newport for Me and my son, we will submit pictures when we put it on the Potomac in Maryland

I Love this motor

I was lucky enough to be one of the very first people to get my hands on the NK300. I’ve had it over a year and it’s been a great motor. The range and efficiency is awesome and being able to outrun everyone else at tournament blast off is a big advantage.

NK 300 is a BEAST

So after researching the popular options for stern mounted motors, I went with the NK300 and the Newport 40amp Battery, the power is amazing !!!

This motor is incredible. It has so much power giving you more top speed. I’m blown away how fast it is in comparison to the NK180
