Newport NT300 Outboard Motor

I’m using the Newport NT300 Electric Outboard Motor (3HP / 1300W) on my dinghy, and it’s been excellent. Super easy to use, starts instantly, and runs impressively quiet—no noise, no fumes, no drama. While there’s no app to check stats, honestly you don’t need one… this thing just works.It has plenty of power for getting around the marina and making smooth trips from the boat to the dock. Reliable, simple, and efficient—exactly what you want in an electric outboard.Most importantly, it gets me safely ashore to handle critical rum resupply missions, and for that alone it earns five stars.

Seems to actually be the equivalent of a 3 HP gas outboard without the fumes, noise, vibration and maintenance hassles. Very quiet and low vibration. Great for maneuvering into place for nature photos. I also like the light weight and the fact that the batteries are separate from the motor, which is not the case for some other small electric outboards. I am using 3, 100-Amp LiPO4 batteries wired in series which gives me about a full day on the water at 2/3 throttle. There is a bit of delay when twisting the throttle which you just have to get used to. My main complaint is the length of the shaft. The "short shaft" model is still several inches longer than a comparable gasoline motor, which is limiting in the shallows, and seems to pick up lots of weeds. Also, I'd love it if the tiller were offset like a gasoline outboard. As it is I have to sit uncomfortably forward and reach behind my back.

Fantastic no problems and runs clean, you'll be tempted to get something bigger but know that with electricity if you run, for example, a 2600w motor you'll get a bit more speed but your range is halfed. Think with most boards you'll get 7ish miles per hour with a 1300w. With a 2000w you might get 9 and a 3000w you might get 12. Personally I don't want to carry 10 batteries.I get about 2 hrs with a 100 amp hr batter with the NT300 at full

Excellent trolling motor. Power beyond means pushing 250 lb man in a pelican catch 100 easily went 5 miles using a 36 volt lithium battery and used 27 percent of the battery. I recommend. Get out there!

It’s very quiet and fast but broke easy

Incredibly happy with this motor powering a 23 ft sailboat with a swing keel and a displacement of 4000lbs. No issues whatsoever, 10% power gets us 2kts for docking and at 50% power the boat reaches hull speed. Video shown is at 100%, and the noise is almost non-existent at what the GPS said was 7 knots. A 100ah 3rd-party LiFePo4 powers it, no issues there either.

NO LO COMPREN!!!! ES UN DESASTRE ..NO HAY COMO CONTROLARLO ..NO SE ENTIENDE COMO HACERLO FUNCIONAR...mi hija se rompió la cara ,yo me golpee la espalda....hemos chocado varias veces ....intentándolo hacer funcionar ....y sin previo aviso ...funciona muy fuerte...ES UN GRAN PELIGRO.....NUNCA HE TENIDO ALGO TAN DESCONTROLADO ...varias personas han leído el Manual y no obedece a ninguna función...simplemente ENCIENDE CUANDO NADIE LO ESPERA....ES UN PELIGRO...!!!!

Plenty of punch for my lil boat. Just too pricy.
