Newport NK180 HD

The NK HD Series represents the next generation of Newport’s flagship kayak motors. Built around a heavy-duty durability standard, the NK180 HD combines rugged composite materials, updated architecture for easy lifting and steering authority, precision bearings, overbuilt communication cable plugs for long-term reliability, a micro pulley system for low-profile stowage and mounting, a cable strain relief mechanism for longer cable life, and advanced conformal-coated internal electronics engineered for maximum reliability.

Designed specifically for kayak anglers, it delivers reliable brushless performance without compromise. Weighing just over 14 lbs and delivering 600W of power (1.8 HP equivalent), it’s Newport’s most versatile kayak motor. Brushless direct drive, freshwater and saltwater compatible, with a 4-bolt aluminum mounting bracket. External 24V battery required (not included).
