Putting a JET on my kayak (Bixpy Jet)

*Just address some of the comments. I registered the kayak the day before we shot this video :) I never thought I’d see the day where I’d be putting an external source of power to propel my kayak. But here we are, it’s 2018 and we’re seeing more and more people with trolling motors, torqueedos, etc on the back of their kayaks to make fishing life easier. This is definitely not the norm but do you remember 2-3 years ago when having pedal/mirage drives wasn’t the norm? Bottom line here is that we’re in a growing sport and if you fish tournaments as much as I do, you understand the importance of being efficient on the water. I fish a lot of tournaments and it’s important to me to spend as little time/energy pedaling to a spot as possible so I can maximize my fishing time . Enter the Bixpy Jet. Take a look at this video to see my initial thoughts and have a look below for some of the results from today.

@Greg Blanchard Here is a bit of constructive criticism. I clicked the vid just wanting to see a kayak powered by that jet motor w/e that is... then it started a 12 minute video of you guys walking around preparing to go kayaking... That's cool, you guys are vlogging, I get it. But maybe for the viewers like me that just want to see what was advertised on the title, start the video with an edit in of driving that kayak with the motor, at the very start... doesn't have to be the whole segment, just a few snippets of the kayak with the motor, then cut back and start your 12 minute vlog.

Anyways, really not trying to be a dick, that's just what I'd like to see as a viewer. GL

Whats the top speed? Im running a modified 45lb thrust trolling motor on a 12ft sit-in with VFD and group 27 battery. 6mph with 300lbs including me.

BTW...complete with foot driven steering and trim. Cost me under $150 including everything. Brand new motor from craigslist. Get creative guys! No need to spend over $1000 on this!!!! My setup will power a fishfinder, lights, and motor for DAYS.

I don’t get it. The whole point of having a trolling motor so you don’t have to pedal. Keep it simple and light. If that doesn’t work for you. Just buy a boat like i did. Hehe!! Kayak is no fun when you have all that gears and your limited. Kayak is made for just leisure only..
Jon Jones

''A Jet'' ? How bout a fucking trolling motor. I read Jet and i am thinking a kayak that hauls ass, be a man put a jetski engine on one then do a video, that would be interesting, your video just plain sucks.BTW it's too long. cya oh yea thumbs down says siskel and ebert.
Osprey1955
Osprey1955 - 6 years ago
All boats, even kayaks, have maximum hull speeds so no matter what the nature of the propulsion, you will be limited to the hull speed. Sounds like this kayak has serious speed limitations due to its design which will be limiting no matter how it’s powered. It’s length definitely is a contributing factor.

I may need to check one of those out for my wooden kayaks.  A little more push would make it a lot easier to get out to the reef.
pbkayakyer
pbkayakyer - 6 years ago
The real reason why the boat is so slow is because the back end is cut off. That creates a lot of resistance in the water. If it were to come to a point in the back, the water would glide smoothly around the boat. I hate kayaks that are designed like that, it makes it so that you almost have to put a motor on it, which defeats the entire purpose of kayaking.

kona12 - 6 years ago
Not being critical, just my thoughts. For me getting into kayak fishing it was all about the simplicity and the human powered element. This kind of reminds me of the e-mountain bike phenomenon. Is it a bike or is it a motor cycle? Is it a powerboat or is it a kayak. I am surprised kayak tournaments allow motors! Anyway, looks like a pretty sick setup though. I have a couple of favorite spots that are long pedals and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t of thought of easier ways to get there! Can’t wait to see you first tourney vid with it!
Headwaters Kayak
Headwaters Kayak - 6 years ago
kona12 That all changed when Torqueedo came to KBF with a big check asking to sponsor the series. I agree I wish it was human powered only, but with that said I’m not sure it’s that big of an advantage from what I’ve seen.

Greg, I used a 40 # thrust minn kota with a 12v marine cycle battery. 45# with trolling motor.. top speed was 5mph less work on the water but way more work getting in and out. That set-up is super compatible that you have there

Hobie prob hit 6+, the mirage drive is just sooo efficient. But, can't beat that instant reverse in the prop drives either, esp for freshwater fishing!
Cooking and Fishing
Cooking and Fishing - 6 years ago
ImThinking3 yes but it's not "instant"! Pretty clunky reverse system imo, but I guess there's no other way to do it with mirage drive
ImThinking3
ImThinking3 - 6 years ago
Cooking and Fishing The "Hobie Mirage drive 180" can go reverse. Just FYI.
Cooking and Fishing
Cooking and Fishing - 6 years ago
I'm talking strictly drive propulsion. I think even Greg's video of him getting towed by a PA over a windy point is illustrative enough...the mirage drive is simply more efficient than any prop drive out there, but as I mentioned having instant reverse is huge in freshwater fishing.
Headwaters Kayak
Headwaters Kayak - 6 years ago
Cooking and Fishing it 100% depends on hull design. A hobie revo is faster than a Titan, a Native Mantaray or Ultimate is faster than a Outback or PA. The length and width of the boat determine how fast a boat is not the drive. I agree the hobie has better take off and is a incredible design, but I also want to see good info out there in regards to hull design and boat dynamics.

idk why so many people are hating. It's just a convenient little trolling motor.

I been looking around and a lot of people say that they get leaks through that rudder . Seams to me it is a design flaw and should be addressed . Maybe the wiz can drop a solid shaft into your yak, that way it won't compress or leak. Any chance of a solar charger ?

On the manufacturers site they claim 400W/h with 25.9Volts, that woud make it a 15Ah battery. Running time and W/h are more useful data in my opinion. They also claim a 1 hour full power running time. B.t.w. i can run a 17 foot aluminium canoe (total weight 675 pounds) for 2 hours at 3Mph (1/3 throttle) with the same battery capacity without paddling.
