Bixpy Jet Motor Kit Install on a Hobie Pro Angler 14 and an iSUP
I help my buddy Don unbox, install and test a Bixpy motor kit on his Hobie PA14, and I put my own Bixpy on an iSUP.
What’s in this video
I visit my friend Don, who bought a Bixpy motor kit for his Hobie Pro Angler 14. Together we unbox it, swap the thruster cone, install the motor mount, set up the battery and power, and test the system and remote. Don paid full price, nothing sponsored or discounted. I paid for my first Bixpy too, then became an Ambassador after falling in love with it.
I also packed my own Bixpy and attached it to a new inflatable paddle board with the SUP fin box adapter. Then we took both out on the water. We had a lot of fun, and Don says he loves his new setup.
