Power Small Boats with Quiet 6HP-Equivalent Electric Propulsion
Running a skiff, dinghy, or other small boat does not have to mean managing a gas outboard every time you head for the water. The Newport NT600 Electric Outboard Motor delivers 3,000 watts of brushless direct-drive power for primary propulsion on boats up to 16 feet, using an external 48V battery system instead of gasoline.
Electric Outboard Power Built for Small-Boat Propulsion
✅ 3,000W output provides 6HP-equivalent electric propulsion for compatible small boats up to 16 feet
✅ Brushless direct-drive system eliminates the oil changes and spark plugs associated with a gas outboard
✅ Works from an external 48V battery system, with Newport recommending its 48V 70Ah LoPRO or an equivalent compatible battery
✅ Ambidextrous adjustable tiller lets the operator configure the handle for left- or right-hand steering
✅ Full-color digital display keeps speed, battery percentage, and voltage visible while underway
✅ Four trim positions and reverse-and-tilt lock provide adjustment for different operating and boat configurations

Real-World Performance
On a skiff, dinghy, or other compatible small boat, the NT600 fills the primary-propulsion role rather than simply handling low-speed positioning. Use the adjustable tiller for steering and power control while monitoring battery status and speed on the display, then select from four trim positions to match the motor angle to the boat's operating setup.
Build Your Small Boat Around Electric Propulsion
Pair the NT600 with a properly matched 48V battery system to give your small-boat setup a dedicated electric alternative to gas-powered primary propulsion.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Newport NT600
What size boat is the Newport NT600 designed for?
Newport specifies the NT600 for boats up to 16 feet, including skiffs, micro skiffs, dinghies, and other small vessels. Proper motor selection should still account for the specific boat and operating conditions.
What battery does the Newport NT600 require?
The NT600 requires a 48V battery, which is not included with the motor. Newport recommends its 48V 70Ah LoPRO battery and states that most non-proprietary 48V lithium batteries can also be used when they have compatible connections and meet the motor's requirements.
How long can the NT600 run on a 48V 70Ah battery?
Runtime depends on speed and operating conditions. Newport states that a 48V 70Ah battery can provide up to approximately one hour at full throttle, with significantly longer operation possible at lower speeds.
What is included with the Newport NT600?
The NT600 includes its 10.6-inch propeller, mounting hardware, and magnetic kill switch. The required 48V battery is sold separately.
Can the NT600 be used with remote steering?
Yes. Newport equips the NT600 with a built-in remote-steer-ready tube for integration with compatible remote steering setups.
