Product Description
Bixpy PWC Motors Universal Rudder Adapter (K-1 & J-2 Motors)
DESCRIPTION
The Vibe Bixpy-Ready Gravity Rudder is the first rudder in the market specifically designed to accept a motor as an option. The bottom portion of the rudder unscrews in seconds to allow you to attach your Bixpy Motor directly onto the rudder.
The Vibe Bixpy-Ready Gravity Rudder offers a molded 10mm stainless steel pin that offers easy installation and not only fits all Vibe kayaks but can replace most other manufacturer rudders in seconds! It also offers a robust double hinged, 90° Slide & Stow mechanism that gets the rudder completely out of the water in a heartbeat!
The Vibe Bixpy-Ready Gravity Rudder also features a gravity driven locking mechanism that allows the rudder to lock into place when motorized in forward or reverse. However, since the locking only occurs with gravity, the rudder easily “unlocks” and pops up to protect your motor and rudder in shallow water. Steering your rudder can be done using your existing rudder steering system if you have one and if not, you can choose from a variety of options in our Steering Options.
Make sure that you are getting the right Bixpy adapter for your watercraft
*Note: If you currently have a Universal Rudder Adapter for your J-2 Motor, you can print out a stencil and modify the rudder to fit the K-1 Motor here. You can also purchase a stencil to help cut your Universal Rudder here.
