NK180PRO Quick Start | Getting started with your Electric Kayak Outboard Motor

[@jamesrobertsonfishing]

I had the original NK 180 and I like the changes you've made to the pro. They solved all the issues I had with the original.

[@Newport_Vessels]

Nothing like the support and feedback we get from our customers! Thank you!

[@f2dify]

Just ordered mine for my Crescent Primo. Can’t wait to get on the water and be able to fish more!

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

I bought my NK 180 2 weeks before the NK 180 Pro was released! I really like the upgrades on the Pro! Newport Vessels is on top of their game!

I have the BOTE Rackham Aero Apex PD, and I was seriously thinking about getting the Bixpy K-1 PP-768 Pro Angler Motor Kit with adaptors. I think this NK180Pro is the better option by far. I'm so glad I saw this before making my purchase. I just have to wait until the damned thing is back in stock!

[@Newport_Vessels]

It's back in stock, and we agree, more performance for sure out of this unit!

[@sneakykiller900]

Can the motor be detached from the mount for storage and truck bed transporting without having to unscrew it?

[@HStrech]

You pull the pin out but it’s pretty easy to line up the hole in the drum and the mount and stick the pin through. Plus, it’s more secure. I like the pin style vs the slot.

I keep waiting for the modernization of a solenoid activated reverse lockout??? "the way forward IS electric"!

[@Newport_Vessels]

We like where your head is at!

[@Johnmarkoffline]

MIP Allen wrench is where it's at.

[@bostonbassgod]

Does the quick disconnect cable come with the nk180 pro or do I need to buy that

[@Newport_Vessels]

yes it does

[@bnugs11]

what foil or rudder is that on the motor shaft?

[@ryanlundy2519]

Is the mount bolt pattern/footprint the same as the 180? And the 300?

[@Newport_Vessels]

yessir it is...and same as the Power Pole Micro. The bolt pattern is 3.75" x 4.75"

[@trentb2478]

How do you turn with that setup. I have the old town sportsman without the large rudder

[@Newport_Vessels]

It should steer just fine with the standard rudder, not you can always opt for the foot steering setup

[@ryanlundy2519]

Still no rock guard?

[@Newport_Vessels]

Unfortunately Newport does not manufacture a rock guard currently. We do recommend leaving the reverse lockout un-cleated if you're fishing in shallow or tannic water however.

[@IMGhostRogue]

Would this work with a native titan x 12.5?

[@Newport_Vessels]

Yes it would!

[@tonysouthern3049]

Cant find that article on mount adapters! Would love to see it rigged on a Shearwater125!
