Review: 86LB thrust (2025 update long story short I love this motor!) - 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! 6/1/2024 Disclaimer!!!!!! 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. Review: Nice product - Much cheaper than MinnKota and does a good job ## Features - Efficient Power: 55Lb Thrust - This 12V Electric Trolling Motor Provides Excellent Power And Efficiency For Any Boater. The High Quality Build Allows The Motor To Run All Day Long Without Overheating, Or Making Noise To Spook Fish - Features: This Motor Features A 30 Inch Shaft, A 5 Led Battery Meter, A 6 Inch Telescoping Tiller Handle, And 3 Blade Propeller. The Mount Angle, Height, And Direction Can All Be Adjusted And Locked Into Place When Needed - Speed: This Motor Has 8 Speeds, 5 Forward And 3 Reverse. The Motor Is Designed For Trolling, So The Top Speed Of This Motor Is About 4Mph, But Depends On Your Boat Shape, Weight, Water, Wind, And Other Factors. Our 3 Blade Propeller Gives The Motor Great Low End Torque To Get The Boat Moving - Battery: The Nv 55Lb Motor Requires One (1) 12V Lead-Acid Deep Cycle Or Lithium Deep Cycle Battery (Battery Not Included), 50Ah Recommended. The Motor Also Includes A 50Amp Circuit Breaker Which Is Recommended At All Times To Protect From Battery Voltage Surges. Max Amp Draw: 52A ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EYST1L8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,233 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #3 in Trolling Boat Motors | | Brand | Newport Vessels | | Brand Name | Newport Vessels | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 6,871 Reviews | | Engine Type | electric | | Fuel Type | electric | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00700987987577 | | Included Components | Trolling Motor | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7"D x 21"W x 47"H | | Item Type Name | Trolling Motor | | Item Weight | 23.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Newport Vessels | | Manufacturer Part Number | 23M1000203 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 2 year manufacturer | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Horsepower | 0.83 Horsepower | | Model Number | 23M1000203 | | Mounting Type | Transom Mount | | Operation Mode | Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | For Salt Water | | UPC | 744288455748 700987987577 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Newport Vessels - **Color:** Black - **Engine Type:** electric - **Item Weight:** 23.2 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum ## Images ![Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51g8t76Q38L.jpg) ![Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T7K6fFMSL.jpg) ![Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71daLKTCoUL.jpg) ![Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81V6d50cy7L.jpg) ![Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xDvAIgEnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: will it be good for 5 person with beer coolers wooden fishing boat so like 2000 pounds with dogs and still be fast i only have 300** A: NO,NO, NO, Lose 4 people,take 1 beer cooler, and 1 dog and maybe ( and you only have 300 what? ) **Q: I have a 12 foot aluminum boat will this motor push around this boat** A: I have a 12' Valco Aluminum boat and it pushes it around pretty good in the 5th forward speed. Prob got up to 5 or 6 mph. I never did it for very long though so not sure how long the battery would last doing that all day. Goes pretty slow until you kick it into the 5th gear and then you feel a nice push. Also have not tried it into any kind of head wind or current. **Q: I want to know the horsepower of the Newport Vessels 55 Pound Thrust 8 Electric Trolling Motor to see if it is allowed in the lake I want to us it in?** A: In the product description it says Power - 55lb Thrust (0.83HP Equivalent) so it is less than 1 horse power. I use the 55 pound thrust version on a 16ft canoe with fishing gear battery etc totaling 220lbs plus my fat butt of 260 and have had one other person weighing in at 300lbs totaling 780lbs and this motor in top speed (5) does the job with ease nicely, even in high winds. As for using it on a lake that depends on if you are in America, the state you are in and what the state and local laws are on lakes. My state requires the boat to be registered if using a gas or electric motor. **Q: Is it made for salt water?** A: Hi, Yes! All of our motors are rated for both Salt and Freshwater. We recommend rinsing your trolling motor with freshwater after use in saltwater. This will help extend the motor's lifespan.

No complaints. *by R***0 on October 15, 2025* I got this for puttering around lakes on an inflatable boat. It does this perfectly. Screws right onto your transom. Turn to steer, twist for throttle, all in near-silence. Like all trolling motors regardless of power, speed will not exceed 5mph. This is plenty fast for puttering around lakes. I’ve heard about propeller upgrades that might get you another 1mph, but haven’t tried that myself. If you want to go faster, you’ll need to spend thousands more for either an electric outboard that might go 2mph faster, or a gas outboard that will go much faster but be loud, smelly, and illegal on many lakes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Newport 12V50Ah Deep Cycle Heavy-Duty Marine Battery, Lightweight & Sealed AGM, Trolling Motor Compatible - INTEX 68624EP Motor Mount Kit: Easy to Attach – Heavy-duty Composite Mount – Marine Plywood – Aluminum Support Arms – Fits up to 3.0 HP Motors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1296149-newport-nv-series-thrust-saltwater-transom-mounted-trolling-electric-trolling](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1296149-newport-nv-series-thrust-saltwater-transom-mounted-trolling-electric-trolling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
