How hard is it to put a Newport NT300 electric outboard motor on your jon boat? In this video I go through the basic steps for hooking everything up to use the Newport NT300 3hp electric outboard motor from Newport Vessels on a small boat or dinghy. I also cover some of the basic features of the 3 hp equivalent Newport NT300 and the benefits of using the Newport Battery Quick Connect cable extender.

Setting up a small electric outboard motor on your dinghy, little boat or jon boat isn't hard and if you use a LiFePo4 battery, the weight is very reasonable. Please refer to the owners and/or operators manual and instructions before connecting or or using any of the items shown in this video. This video is for entertainment purposes and is not intended to replace any instructional or safety requirements or precautions that should be followed before handling batteries or connecting electrical components.
