Newport NK300 HD Electric Kayak Motor

The Newport NK300 HD Electric Kayak Motor is a high-performance 3HP-equivalent brushless motor designed specifically for kayak anglers who demand reliability, efficiency, and quiet operation on the water. Built as part of Newport’s Heavy Duty (HD) Series, the NK300 HD features reinforced steering, a redesigned retract system, and upgraded communication connectors for long-lasting durability.
Powered by a 1300W brushless direct-drive motor, the NK300 HD delivers smooth acceleration, strong thrust, and ultra-quiet performance—producing only around 40 decibels of sound. This maintenance-free system eliminates the need for fuel or complex servicing, making it an ideal solution for modern electric kayak setups.
The motor operates on a 36V external battery system (battery not included) and includes a digital speed controller with display, giving you real-time performance control while navigating rivers, lakes, or coastal waters.
