![Bixpy J-2 Outboard Kit Review [Pros, Cons, & Is It Worth It???]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SCoelRQEBjo/mqdefault.jpg)
Imagine the possibilities if I had that on my revo 11. Love all the honest reviews you've been putting out put there . Very informative indeed, keep up the great work.
Great review! I appreciate your honesty and fresh approach… I’d be very happy to add this to my Hobie TI. Looking to have just a bit of added security to get me back to shore when the winds quit and I’ve been out all day. Thanks for the chance 👍🏼
This system is incredible, I work with the manufacture of some propulsion systems here in Brazil, you are an inspiration, congratulations for the content and editing too, big hug
This review helped me decide on the Bix J2 for my 2021 Compass. That piece of mind will be worth it when fishing large lakes and the inshore areas around Galveston.
This will be huge for anyone with a kayak being able to cover more area with the fatigue, looking at a new outback soon i think this will be a great addition to it. Awesome review to, keep it up
Seems like it would be pretty damn handy for long trips and exploring new places. Nice review once again. Thanks mate
Awesome vid as always, thank you for your efforts putting video together it covered every question that I want to ask if I need to get one. I have the same outback and would love to have that unit on.
Awesome mate, great info here and an unreal comp (along with your others) to kick off 2022.
I'd put this on my compass to assist with the bigger areas (such as blue rock lake). Rear mounted seems to be the go to still allow for mirage drive usage as you approach a fishing spot. Tight lines chieftain.
Great informative review as always Byron. I’d love to put one of these on a Native Watercraft Slayer 10. Thanks again for all your content.
Thanks for the great content! Always a pleasure watching you. This motor would work great on my johnny bass 100. It would be a great addition to get me to the fishing holes quickly!!
Well done! I up graded my paddle kayak not long ago to a Hobie Outback which was an upgrade, but to put one of these on the back would be a game changer 🤙🏻
Really great review and insight on this motor! Thank you!
No problem 👍
Awesome review!! Definitely love the pedal + power option!!! Keep up the great content… Cheers!
Thanks! Will do!
Great review and ripper setup, I would love to put that on my PA14 for cod fishing at lake Mulwala. Thanks Byron & Scott
Great video!! Just broke down and got one for my FeelFree Lure 13.5 and can't wait to test it out. I sadly do not like the overdrive system what so ever so this is a great substitute and the Bixpy batteries seem amazing.
Mate, your vids are to the point and always spot on. Would put this on a PA12 , but keen to see how it would go with my 1 up Old Town canoe 😉 Giddy up.
Another great vid Byron. I would love this, being in my fifties its getting harder to stay out on the water for those long fishing days something like this would be a game changer for me i would put it on my compass to help me get to my favourite spots and even explore more spots without exhausting myself.
Entered Hope!
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. 🌊 🎣
Thanks for the quality review. This would make a great addition to my '21 Outback. I spend a lot of times peddling to offshore reefs and this would make life 100 times easier!
AWesome Spicewok!
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 😂
Always look forward to your video my 2monks yak is screaming for some power to get me to where the fish are .as I am ageing it's not very quick .keep up your good work
Was super excited to watch the review, did not disappoint. Would love to mount on my L4 Expedition SUP, for fishing 🎣.
This is the answer to my prayers! This pocket rocket would help me with my lower back pain and overall fatigue when fishing on my hobie compass
Brandon! Thank you for reviewing. I have been looking at these but no one has a good review like what you just did. I would be putting this on my 2020 Hobie outback. If I won, I would even pay shipping. 😂🤣😂
Cool review could use a little extra help on my 2017 outback I am a bit of a lazy fisho on the yak keep up the good work awesome channel 👍
Cool bit of kit mate. Fair point about having a second mobility option. I do carry a spare GT drive in my Outback for longer sessions but he Bixby would help to get from spot to spot more efficiently. Cheers Byron.
I plan to install this on a BKC FK184 9-foot Solo Sit on Top Angler Fishing Kayak. Great video!
Great video mate
That could be the game changer that gets me back on the water. This would go great on my K2F Triton. Thanks for the review.
Great review. I've been planning on putting one on my Perception Outlaw, but thinking about waiting till I upgrade my kayak
Good choice!
What an awesome set up! Need it on my PA14
Good review as usual. Nice to see they have a range of mounts for various craft :-)
Thanks! 👍
Earned a like for honesty and not working for free!! I'm hear for it
I love my 120 pdl. Now saving for my J2 Bixby. I have ❤ condition. I do like to paddle and pedal when I get to my spots. But this year I want to tournament fish. That motor perfect for kayaks. At 9lbs it just amazing and can't wait. Especially having a 2nd bixpy battery. Awsome!! 🙏 😎
Loved the review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome content as per normal. I'd put it on an outback for sure. Long distance run with a little help sounds great 👍
Great vid. Would mount it on my PA14 for sure.
Top review! Would love to use this on my Viking Profish GT. Really handy for those longer trips offshore.
My pleasure David
What a great thing, it would go well on my 2019 outback. Since having cancer I find it a bit hard to peddle as far.
Great channel Byron
Hey Byron once again another great video love this motor I reckon it'd be very fun racing around my local estuary getting to my fishing spots on that. If I won I would put it on my fishyak viper which I got at slh last year. At the moment I have a watersnake which I find great but I wouldn't mind a faster motor.
I'll use it on my SUP board, so I am really looking forward to your SUP video in few weeks.
Cheers Eric
Hey Byron,
I fkn love your videos, keep them up man I was thinking about buying a small water snake for my “Kayak 2 fish next gen 11 although pumping through the wind paddling and trying to get into spots Quiet is fun but i really want to change things up and go for a more professional approach to fishing, trying to get into some torments and this would REALLY help
Thanks keep the great vids up 👍 😃
Awesome unit - peace of mind and some power to cruise for a bit longer than the legs alone. No kayak right now myself, so don't need to enter, but enjoyed the video and will look at one of these once I get my next yak set up.
Thanks legend!!!!
Thanks for the great review mate. No idea if this can be fitted to my small fishing yak but would be awesome to be able to get to more spots in one session
Awesome Mick, entered
Another great review video 👍. Currently deciding on a colour for a 2022 Outback.. ivory dune like yours or seagrass. The motor went well! Thanks again :)
Good luck!
This is a huge plus to the outback setup I have. Having the ability to cover so much more area and not strain my legs would be a huge benefit
Awesome video and review mate. Looks like a great product. Liked and subscribed 🤞, otherwise I know what I'm spending my tax money on 😉
I'll be putting the motor on my Hobie PA12 🤙
Good choice!
Love this channel. It would go on my Outback. Thanks for the opportunity.
You're in!
Very thorough review on a great unit. If I was able to win this gem I would mount it on my Tarpon 120 to give my arms a break!
Would love this on my pa14 . With a knee missing an acl this would help a lot giving my knee a rest when needed 👌 appreciate you putting this up
Happy to help!
My partner would love this! He keeps talking about needed something just like this!!
AWesome!!!!
Quality as always. I would certainly put one on my Hobie compass to help get out past the heads.
SLH are the 💣. Get most of not all my accessories from them. I’d be slapping this bad boy to my 2019 Hobie outback. Using the same mount you have still allowing use of my mirage drive once I get to me spot. That setup looks like the way to go 🎉🎉🎉 great vid vid once again 👌👏
This would be the best thing to receive as i am a young Keen Fisho I paddle around all day and end up pretty tired, it would be a great little mod to my dragon 2.7m kayak to get around the creeks and flats, and also I love your videos 😉
Entered mate
Great review. I would love to put that on my Compass duo to help reach more ground within the Hawkesbury river
Entered!!!!
Love the light weight and easy use of the Bixpy. I would really love one for my Nucanoe Flint.
Good luck!
Thanks for the review I wonder if this motor was any good, make me want to get a kayak and get this motor.
Wow this would be a game changer, be perfect for getting around lake mac in my pa12.
your reviews helped us make a decision to buy a new Outback and also a Passport Hobie Kayaks, spoken to SLH in Mornington who also recommends your site.
Awesome to hear Peter, makes me happy mate
Nice indeed. Would be very handy to use when chasing snapper around Cockburn Sound in Perth WA. I love my hobie 2021 outback
Another great review 👍 PA14 install
I have one on my 2019 Outback and have done 8 miles at 40-50% speed and still had more than 30% battery life. Just built an adapter to use on my new 2022 Compass and waiting for weather to break so I can test it.
Would love to throw one on my PA14 to help me cover more ground and explore new areas... great video and review as always!!!
Got my J2 last year and all your points are right on. One additional point…..when I load my PA12, I remove the motor, but the mounting piece that remains on the back handle sticks out and into your gut when you picking up. No way around it. Still love the unit. I use it just like you said……point A to point B…..then pedal around. Great video. Thanks.
Nice Roger!
Great looking unit, and a fantastic alternative to the cheap electrics and batteries currently on offer from other companies. Would be fantastic on my K2F nextgen 3.
Great little unit.i would dare say i would mount it in a pushing position as well just for that breakaway folding action if i acciddntly ran over something.Great choice Byron.
Ive been looking at powered options for my hobie outback.
Unfortunately dont have facebook either
Awesome stuff kit looks cracka, plans on getting a hobie pa14 this would be cool to try offshore
Entered
Nice video. Good luck to all.
Loving the reviews mate. Would definitely help push the pa14 along 😁
Good choice!
Great video. I am considering a Bixpy on a Old Town Topwater PDL mounted on the stern.
That's a great idea!
Would love to give that bixpy a shot at offshore fishing, I'd be putting it on my Hobie outback 2021 aswell that I also bought from SLH haha
Ive been trying to find a good kayak motor so super helpful vid, Would love to put it on a Hobie PA 14 360
That would be an awesome addition to my ProAngler 12 360.
It's good on the PA
I would deffs love this on my pa14, id rig it like your outback too! SLH are awesome too, very great customer service.
You're in!
I'd love to have this thing on my Hobie PA14. Help get off the water quicker when the back pain kicks in
What an awesome little motor, would be putting on my 2019 outback, would be awesome as I am often fishing solo on the bay and having the price of mind I have an extra bit of power would be awesome 🤩
You're in!
Would be a perfect fit on my Viking profish reload ❤️
Hey Byron , terrific review on the Bixby . I would loved to installed this unit on my 2021 Hobie Lynx which will make this boat more nibble and lots of fun . I totally agree on your comment that it a great asset to those longer days fishing and the ease of returning to your launch site . It would great if Bixby could connect to a GPS unit allowing spot fishing or return to the launch area .
I think it would be good also, its only a go forward or reverse though, so would struggle turning itself
Great video👍
Cheers Angus
What a great vid and unit. Would be honoured to throw that on the back of my tandem oasis would help cover more of a dam and hawksbury system as the daughter can stop peddling on me. 🥺😎 keep up the info. Cheers.
Absolutely
Great review 👌. Would put one of these on my Jackson kraken due to it being more of an offshore yak, the peace of mind not having to burn myself out getting back in 😁. Would be interesting to see how it goes on a yak being more sleek and less surface area on water 👌
Other good point is the motor is 32 lb so it's still under the power limit for Victoria with regard to recreational watercraft licence exemption 👍🏻👍🏻👌
Great review Byron. It was interesting to look at others who have reviewed the Bixby J2 and compare the differences. The common benefit however seems to be the significant reduction in fatigue at the end of long fishing sessions (like I get at my local freshwater dam or down the south coast). I love the fitness aspect of using my Hobie Outback but what I will say that as I approach 50 my knees feel the fatigue of a long session.
I would love to win the Bixby J2 to have on my 2015 Hobie Outback. It would be super valuable in getting me to and from my favourite locations whilst still allowing me to utilise the mirage drive for approaching my spots and doing my drifts. It would require a different installation to accommodate the twist and stow rudder, however I know Bixby have numerous kits to allow for many different applications. By the way, I wish Canberra had a Hobie specialist like the guys at SLH. The local retail experts are unfortunately far less experienced than the guys at SLH.
Yeah Dave, the guys at SLH know there stuff when it comes to Bixby. I'm glad you enjoyed the review dude and thanks for commenting and sharing buddy.
What’s a fortnight again? :) Great video, but you just added my choices for my Outback. Dang. I like the simplicity of this unit.
Would love to give this a go on my 2monks 1.5p kayak 🎣🎣
Great vid Byron. This would be a game changer for time poor people. I find I never quite get to where I want to fish on the Parra due to poor access options for kayaks. You spend most of your time fighting current and wind. Not sure you can improve the Compas but this would be a great addition to get you from A to B.
Would love to see how well this would propel my hobi lynx around. Great vids.
I think it would be fast!
I would love this, finally feel confident to go out further. I’d be putting it on my K2F triton. I won’t lie though, it would be nice to have this for when I’ve got my daughter with me my arms get a bit tired chauffeuring her around 😂
Nice!
This motor looks epic! Would love to put one on my PA14 for longer sessions and going that extra Mile to fish untouched areas
Agree!!!
I would love to put one on my native slayer 10 would be so handy around the weeds banks
Nice!
Great give away mate. If I win I’ll be putting it on my pa14 and using it in the Hacking. Keep up the great content my wife and I watch your videos together and really enjoy your work!
I love the idea of the bixpy for safety and extended range. I would put this on my Viking Reload. :)
Nice AL
Awesome video as usual. Has anyone figured out a mounting strategy that allows the use of both a power pole and the bixpy simultaneously? I fish shallow water almost exclusively and use my power pole all day.
Would absolutely love to put this on the back of my PA 14 to allow access to those reefs of coffs that take that bit to long to peddle to!
One of the bigger things ive been thinking about investing in for my PA14 360. It would be nice for the price that you would get a spot lock function, thats my only critique. I'd definitly like one regardless, it would make those long trips between spots a breeze.
A Bixpy installed on My Compass would have made battling into both wind and current for two hours this afternoon a little more pleasurable that’s for sure!
Hey mate another great video... can I ask what costa sunglasses you had on in this video?
I have no idea. Green mirror???
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. I used aluminum bar stock utilizing the Hobie inserts and the Bixpy mount that I had for my 2019 Outback.
This would be awesome on my Compass just for burning between spots. I might finally be able to sneak into Darling Harbour 🤣
Entered Thanks Niall!
Great video Keen to try J2 on my PA14
awesome
Changed my mind, I’d put this awesome unit on my Hobie Adventure Island
hahahaha
