Prob got up to 5 or 6 mph. I never did it for very long though so not sure how long the battery would last doing that all day. Goes pretty slow until you kick it into the 5th gear and then you feel a nice push. Also have not tried it into any kind of head wind or current. **Q: I want to know the horsepower of the Newport Vessels 55 Pound Thrust 8 Electric Trolling Motor to see if it is allowed in the lake I want to us it in?** A: In the product description it says Power - 55lb Thrust (0.83HP Equivalent) so it is less than 1 horse power. I use the 55 pound thrust version on a 16ft canoe with fishing gear battery etc totaling 220lbs plus my fat butt of 260 and have had one other person weighing in at 300lbs totaling 780lbs and this motor in top speed (5) does the job with ease nicely, even in high winds. As for using it on a lake that depends on if you are in America, the state you are in and what the state and local laws are on lakes. My state requires the boat to be registered if using a gas or electric motor. **Q: Is it made for salt water?** A: Hi, Yes! All of our motors are rated for both Salt and Freshwater. We recommend rinsing your trolling motor with freshwater after use in saltwater. This will help extend the motor's lifespan.

It does what I wanted and paid for ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ المنتج يعمل بشكل جميل شكرا *by م***د on 23 July 2022* المنتج يستحق 5 نجوم انه رائع ويعمل بالشكل المطلوب شكرا ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun toy for slow cruises *by B***B on 5 September 2025* I bought the 55 pound thrust model to use on my Intex Excursion 4 inflatable boat. Short story is it works really great. Longer story is that I'm using a 100ah lifepo4 battery to power it. The battery is inside a 12 volt battery box. If using a lifepo4 battery, DO NOT trust the accuracy of the battery meter on the motor handle. It's only reading voltage, and attempting to determine the battery capacity of a lifepo4 battery from voltage alone is vague at best. I've drained the battery down to 40% and all of the green lights were still lit up, happy as could be. I installed a Renogy 500amp shunt into the battery box to get an exact real time view of the motor's power draw and time remaining. Your draws may fluctuate a little from mine, but should be well within the same ballpark. You can use these values to calculate the expected run time from your battery: At speed 1, the motor drew 10 amps or 132 watts. At speed 2, the motor drew 13.3 amps or 173 watts. At speed 3, the motor drew 20 amps or 259 watts. At speed 4, the motor drew 24.4 amps or 315 watts. At speed 5, the motor drew 52.3 amps or 664 watts. As you can see, the increase in power consumption is somewhat linear and modest through the first four speeds, but bumping it into the fifth speed doubles the power required while only giving what I would estimate to be around a 25% increase in speed. In short there's rarely any reason to use the fifth speed. Although it has been nice to have once or twice when encountering stronger than expected winds. I typically cruise around in speed 3 or 4. My 100ah battery can run for five hours on speed 3, or 4 hours on speed 4. Way more than enough time. This will allow me to putt around at about 3 miles per hour. At 23 pounds, it's light enough to easily carry to and from the car to the launch site. I can mount it on the bracket for my boat in about two minutes. I have a "real" boat as well, but sometimes it's fun to take the little inflatable one out and put this motor on the back of it. There's also the benefit that you can fit everything in your car and explore new places. I take it with me when we go camping. My kids get a kick out of it. Overall it's a lot of fun and I'd recommend it. If you're in the US, note that in almost all states, once you put a motor on anything regardless of size, it needs to be registered. ## Frequently Bought Together - Newport NV-Series Thrust Saltwater Transom Mounted Trolling Electric Trolling Motor w/LED Battery Indicator - Newport 12V50Ah Deep Cycle Heavy-Duty Marine Battery, Lightweight & Sealed AGM, Trolling Motor Compatible - INTEX 68624EP Motor Mount Kit: Easy to Attach – Heavy-duty Composite Mount – Marine Plywood – Aluminum Support Arms – Fits up to 3.0 HP Motors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/69051880-newport-vessels-55-pound-thrust-8-speed-electric-trolling-motor](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/69051880-newport-vessels-55-pound-thrust-8-speed-electric-trolling-motor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
