    Failed on 1st Use after 30 seconds - Company Replaced
  

*by K***Q on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2019*

Motor ruined our trip. First time using it. Ran in forward for 30 seconds and then stopped. After 10 minutes of moving the throttle back and forth forward started working but reverse stopped and never worked after.Sadly were a few days out of the. return period so I have to seek warranty support. If that requires me having to ship it...I may just throw it away and buy something reliable.When you are on the water you cannot trust an unreliable motor and thus one has failed badly.Update: put in a claim with Newport. They got back to me quickly and sent out a new trolling motor that day. They did the right thing. When I get the new motor I'll review its performance.

    great value
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019*

I decided to purchase this although I had never heard of this brand of trolling motor.  I could not find and negative reviews so I bought one.  I've used it several times and like it.  I have it mounted on the stern of my 15-foot jon boat and power it with a group 27 battery.  I've used it for 4-5 hours of fishing and so far have not killed the battery.  Time will tell how well it holds up. I am using it in a combination of salt and freshwater.

    Mounted easily on stern of an older 15' Boston Whaler
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2015*

Box was torn and taped upon arrival but after initial worries, motor was not damaged.  Mounted easily on stern of an older 15' Boston Whaler.  Motor pushes boat along quite nicely even at lower speeds.  I am confident I could use this motor all day to position boat and move around the shoreline starting with a fully charged marine battery.  I did not like the speed difference between the forth and fifth position.  Fifth is easily twice as much thrust as forth and a better distribution between speeds would have made this motor better.
