Newport NV-Series 62 lb
#7 in Transom mountFull review
For bigger jon boats and skiffs that need extra push but run on one 12 V battery. Budget for a large battery to make use of it.

2.8/5
A long shaft motor for sailboats, pontoons and other boats with a high transom. On a low transom the NV 62 does the same job for less.

Pros
- The 40 in shaft reaches the water from sailboats, pontoons and other high transoms
- Strong thrust on a single 12 V battery
- Saltwater rated, so it suits boats kept on the coast
- LED battery meter
Cons
- Costs $25 more than the NV 62, so only worth it if you need the long shaft
- Fixed speeds only
- High current draw at full speed needs a big battery
