Newport NV-Series 46 lb
#11 in Transom mountFull review
A middle size Newport for small boats and inflatables where 36 lb is too little. The 55 lb model costs only a little more for noticeably more push.

Pros
- Most thrust of the Endura line, enough for loaded 14 to 16 ft boats
- Only 21 lb, so it is still easy to carry and clamp on
- Composite shaft is guaranteed for life
Cons
- Draws up to 50 A at full speed, which drains a single battery quickly
- Fixed speeds give coarse control at trolling pace
- Not rated for saltwater
