Bixpy Jet Motor Kit With the Universal Transom Mount for Kayaks
I show how the new Bixpy transom mount lets the Bixpy jet motor run like a trolling motor on kayaks, canoes and small boats.
What’s in this video
Bixpy’s new transom mount lets you take the versatile Bixpy jet motor and use it like a trolling motor. It mounts and runs similar to one, but it’s more efficient and lightweight. I walk through the motor setup, the battery and power, how you control speed and steering, maneuverability and seating, and the motor adjustments.
I’m excited to use this on my NuCanoe Frontier and other kayaks down the road. Full disclosure: I bought my Bixpy and NuCanoe myself, then reached out to Bixpy after really enjoying it. They now sponsor me with mounts to try, and the channel earns commission on sales.
