XTR Newport NK300 Motorisation Kit

Newport NK300 Motor & Installation Kit for Bonafide XTR130 Kayak

The Newport NK300 is a powerful high-performance, brushless electric kayak motor designed to deliver the power and efficiency serious anglers and paddlers demand. Equivalent to a 3 horsepower outboard, the NK300 runs on a 36V battery system and offers exceptional thrust and range—making it ideal for long days on the water, even in challenging conditions.

Its direct-drive design means no belts or gears to fail—just smooth, reliable propulsion with minimal noise (only ~40 dB out of water). With a rugged 9.8” two-blade propeller, adjustable trim angles, and a compact form factor, the NK300 is optimized for shallow water use and easy transport. Whether you’re navigating tight backwaters or open bays, the NK300 provides precision control and quiet power to get you to the fish—and back—with confidence.
