BD Outdoors joined Howie Strech of Newport Vessels for a day on the water to see what the new NK180PRO electric kayak outboard motor was all about. The NK180PRO is an improved upon model of the original NK180, which has already solidified itself as a favorite among many kayak anglers. These electric kayak outboards boast an efficient, low-noise brushless design, a maximum range of 20+ miles, speed, intuitive operation, and more.
When compared to the original NK180, the NK180PRO offers 16% increased acceleration, operates 25% quieter, and yields 25% more range. This electric kayak outboard not only takes physical strain off the user, but also allows anglers to go faster, stay on the water longer, cover more ground, and provide a stealthy approach wherever they go. The motor is extremely light and can be powered with both lithium and deep cycle marine batteries. The updated throttle design is waterproof, provides enhanced feedback, and offers a user-friendly interface. Join along as Howie dives into the impressive features of the new NK180PRO and goes over why this electric kayak outboard is a game changer for anglers and leisure kayakers alike.
NK180PRO - Setting the new standard in unparalleled performance, whisper-quiet precision, and optimized efficiency for every kayak angling adventure.

Just got back from my maiden cruise. Have the NK180 pro on my Wilderness Recon 120HD. What a BLAST!!! Rode up and down the lake with wind and chop and it blew right through the waves😊😊😊 Fished for 3 hours and played for an hour. Barely scratched the lithium battery charge. Best investment EVER!!!

Keep up the good work and give torqeedo a run for their money. I love competition

They changed the pitch of the prop and increased the prop size. Also updated the software for the throttle control. Let hope they fixed the wire issues. Very nice.

It's an incredible tool for kayak anglers! We had a great experience on the water with the new NK180PRO and would definitely recommend checking one out for yourself.

Happy they removed the bar across the screen for the throttle handle, that was hard to read the display. I cut mine off rather quickly. Did they back light the throttle display? It sucks to have to hit my headlamp to see the display. All the paint is off my 180 in just about a year of salt service. Im thinking I need to paint my new one with better paint before putting it into service.

Does the shaft and prop weigh the same as the 180?; and is the shaft the same dimension as the 180?

Whats the max amount of hours you can run this thing on with a full charge?

@timleng4404 2 ай бұрын

Depends on your battery size 50ah(24V) @80% probably 3-4 hours or 15-20 miles. I go out and troll all day and jogging to spots and never used more than 50% of my battery. If your kayak can hold more weight. Go with NK300. It’s a lot more efficient than 24 or 12v system.

How does it compare to the 300?
