You pull the pin out but it’s pretty easy to line up the hole in the drum and the mount and stick the pin through. Plus, it’s more secure. I like the pin style vs the slot.
I have the BOTE Rackham Aero Apex PD, and I was seriously thinking about getting the Bixpy K-1 PP-768 Pro Angler Motor Kit with adaptors. I think this NK180Pro is the better option by far. I'm so glad I saw this before making my purchase. I just have to wait until the damned thing is back in stock!
Unfortunately Newport does not manufacture a rock guard currently. We do recommend leaving the reverse lockout un-cleated if you're fishing in shallow or tannic water however.
I had the original NK 180 and I like the changes you've made to the pro. They solved all the issues I had with the original.
Nothing like the support and feedback we get from our customers! Thank you!
I bought my NK 180 2 weeks before the NK 180 Pro was released! I really like the upgrades on the Pro! Newport Vessels is on top of their game!
Just ordered mine for my Crescent Primo. Can’t wait to get on the water and be able to fish more!
Can the motor be detached from the mount for storage and truck bed transporting without having to unscrew it?

It's back in stock, and we agree, more performance for sure out of this unit!
I keep waiting for the modernization of a solenoid activated reverse lockout??? "the way forward IS electric"!
We like where your head is at!
MIP Allen wrench is where it's at.
what foil or rudder is that on the motor shaft?
Does the quick disconnect cable come with the nk180 pro or do I need to buy that
yes it does
Is the mount bolt pattern/footprint the same as the 180? And the 300?
yessir it is...and same as the Power Pole Micro. The bolt pattern is 3.75" x 4.75"
How do you turn with that setup. I have the old town sportsman without the large rudder
It should steer just fine with the standard rudder, not you can always opt for the foot steering setup
Still no rock guard?

Would this work with a native titan x 12.5?
Yes it would!
Cant find that article on mount adapters! Would love to see it rigged on a Shearwater125!
