The N-3 uses a 1.2 kW brushless motor at 36V with a tiller handle, LCD display and stepless throttle. It comes in short and long shaft lengths to suit your transom, and it’s IP67 rated for fresh and salt water. Bixpy lists up to 72 minutes of runtime at full speed.
Specs at a glance

Good to know
- Choose the short shaft for lower transoms and the long shaft for taller transoms, like sailboats.
- Full-throttle runtime is about 72 minutes, so a spare NB-1440 battery is worth considering for longer trips.
KayakDIY take: This sits between a kayak motor and a real outboard, and it suits small jon boats well. For more on batteries, see my best kayak battery guide.
