Two years later this motor is going strong kzbin.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

1hp is the same as 750 watts, so this motor's peak of 1300 watts is really 1.75hp (except without the losses for turning the shaft and lower gears as well as the water pump). The motor housing looks blimpy and the prop too plasticky, but above the water it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Mass of a boat doesn't affect speed in linear way. It can create more drag, but hull shape is more important. Inertia can actually help you maintain speed when there are waves. We need data like, how many kW it uses per hour, and how many N is thrust force.

Thanks for making this video. I had the NT300. But had to send it back. Prop wouldn’t turn when I powered it up. It definitely has the feel of a quality built product. Yes, it’s made in China. But Newport Vessels has excellent customer service. It’s going to go on my 15 ft Fisher Jon boat. That only weighs about 275lbs. To see it push your heavy 16ft with 2 adults at 6.2mph was impressive! Can’t wait to see what it gets my boat up to. My replacement is due in February. I have a 36v 50ah ionic that should provide good run time.

Man that stinks! I'm sure you're looking forward to getting in on your boat. My dad and I did another video (i'll release first of february) we put it on his 14' flat bottom jon boat ad got it up to around 6,5MPH but I'm sure it's possible to go a little faster in a boat more designed for speed.

Thanks for this great video. I am looking to buy one of these for a paddleski 437 inflatable boat. There is 20.5 " from the top of the transom to the surface of the water. Would it be possible to know if this great NK300 which has a 24.6" shaft option would work or is this shaft to short? Would it be possible to know what is your boat transom height? Sea Eagle (paddleski ) recommend 30" shaft length like the torpeedo but I really like the price of the NK300. Thanks for your input and help!

I have no problem with people that like the electric motors, I like them, but I do wish they would be more honest about them and stop lying about the HP. That motor IS NOT a 3hp motor. The specs say 1300 watts, so it is a 1.743HP motor. As for claiming it is equivalent to a 3hp that is simply false. There is no equivalent. There is just HP. If you want to speak about torque fine, but that electric motor IS NOT a 3HP.
@GeorgiaBassmaster Жыл бұрын
That's what the manufacter claimed and I was just saying what they claimed. The speed is equal to a 3HP gas. We have electric only lakes here so you can't run gas motors.
@JohnSmith-ug5ci Жыл бұрын
@@GeorgiaBassmaster I said that the manufacturers are lying about it. I assumed you did not know about how to figure HP or about their lie. I do not believe you that it goes as fast as a 3 hp gas model. At least not a major manufacturer like Yamaha, Mercury, or Honda. Many of the off brands lie about the actual HP even in the gas models so if you are comparing it to one of them then yes it may go as fast as a improperly advertised gas model. My point is that people do not overspend to get something that is less than they were told by the manufacturer.
