NuCanoe Unlimited & U10 Grab-and-Go Tiller Trolling Motor Kit
Simplified Power. Maximum Reliability. All-Day Performance.
Whether you are rigging the legendary Unlimited or the agile U10, this kit is designed for the angler who values rugged simplicity and "grab-and-go" performance. By pairing the reliable Newport Kayak Series motor with the industry-leading Ionic Lithium power, we’ve created a package that is easy to install, easy to operate, and impossible to beat on the water.
This is the perfect setup for those who want the classic feel of a tiller-steer outboard with the modern benefits of lithium technology.
The "Go-Anywhere" Component List:
| Component | Purpose |
| Newport Kayak Series Motor | Choice of 36lb or 55lb thrust; saltwater-rated and built for kayaks. |
| Powerhouse Lithium 12V 60Ah Battery | The "Gold Standard" of power; 70% lighter than lead-acid with 3,000+ cycles. |
| NuCanoe Outboard Motor Mount | Heavy-duty transom bracket that creates a rock-solid mounting surface. |
| Helmsmate Tiller Extender | Brings the motor controls to your seat, allowing for perfect weight distribution. |
| Powerhouse 12V Lithium Charger | Fast, smart charging that keeps your battery healthy for years to come. |
Why This Kit Is the Perfect Fit for the Unlimited & U10
-
Optimized Weight Distribution: Utilizing the Helmsmate Tiller Extender allows you to stay positioned in the middle of the kayak while controlling the motor. This keeps the bow down and improves tracking, especially on the more compact U10 frame.
-
The Powerhouse Advantage: At only 14.5 lbs, the Powerhouse 60Ah battery replaces a 30 lb lead-acid equivalent. This weight savings is crucial for maintaining a shallow draft in skinny water and makes loading/unloading your NuCanoe a breeze.
-
Rugged Transom Mounting: The NuCanoe Outboard Motor Mount is far superior to standard plastic transoms. It provides a flat, stable metal surface that prevents motor "twist" when you're at full throttle.
- Saltwater Ready: The Newport Kayak Series motor features stainless steel hardware and a sacrificial zinc anode, making it just as capable in the salt marshes as it is on a farm pond.
-
Bluetooth Monitoring: Use the free Ionic App to see exactly how much "fuel" you have left. Never guess your range again—know exactly how many minutes of run-time remain at your current speed.
Installation Made Easy
This is our most straightforward kit to date.
- Mount: Bolt the NuCanoe Outboard Mount to the integrated brass inserts on your transom.
- Clamp: Attach the Newport motor and tighten the thumb screws.
- Connect: Drop the 14.5 lb Powerhouse battery into your gear crate or battery floor space and connect the terminals.
- Extend: Slide the Helmsmate extender onto the tiller handle, and you’re ready to launch.
