I received my new 2023 PP-768 this week. I also ordered it with the Bixpy gravity rudder. Can't wait to finally install it. The PP 768 battery has a warp 13 speed, will run wide open for 2 or more hrs. But speeds 7 to 8 will last more than 24 hrs. Awesome little motor. 🌊 🎣

To me getting a motor for crack is a really good idea .But you gotta thing if you want to take it off your kayat will you have external holes left from the motor where you installed it. I really think that Registration your boat & trailer Should be one package. Because you can't use your boat trial for anything else be sides transporting the boat. It's not like you can use your boat trailer to help people move and all that. If you try it will be pretty funny to see how you balance all your furniture on it. I think that the registration should be a complete registration Boat and trailer.

When it comes to most Hobies, there are numerous ways to mount these without drilling holes. And even if you did drill holes that you later regretted, addressing them can be as simple as popping a screw into the hole, with a smidge of silicon for good measure. There are other ways, but probably nothing as simple as that.

A great review, I did stumble across the Bixby a while back when looking into an electric motor for a kayak and thought it was quite expensive but I guess it all makes sense when it includes the battery as well - that's usually the expensive part of a trolling motor setup. I'd throw one of these bad boys on my newly acquired 2nd hand 2019 Compass. It'd definitely help with feeling knackered at the end of a session as you mentioned. I, too, am guilty of smashing some energy drinks on the drive home on the regular 😂

Follow up on my 2022 Compass install. The unit works great, slightly faster speed since the Compass weighs less. Unfortunately the Hobie power pole mount adapter is back ordered with no ETA so you will have to fabricate a mounting system.

BTH, having never fished out of a kayak the Bixpy will make me consider a kayak or maybe a SUP(looking forward to the review with the SUP). do u still need to have a paddle or the direct drive even with the Bixpy, is that right. mate can the Bixpy steer the craft using only the unit or u have to have the rudder. wat option in ur opinion wud be more efficient. BTH i know u have done reviews on kayaks in the past but for me wat wud u suggest using the Bixpy. my only target for the kayak will be chasing big flathead across the flats using soft swimbaits n glidebaits.
