You can now motorize your Hobie Lynx Kayak in seconds attaching our Universal Versa Rudder with the new Hobie Lynx Gudgeon and also use pole steering. This kit* includes everything you need!
The Hobie Lynx Gudgeon is designed specifically for the Hobie Lynx rudder bracket, allowing easy replacement of your kayak's rudder with the Bixpy Versa Rudder and K-1 motor. Installation is simple with no modifications, drilling, glues, or epoxies needed—just plug and play.
For easy steering, the Versa Rudder comes with pole steering** option. This option installs quickly and provides excellent leverage. (You'll need a paintbrush or broomstick pole for the adapter).
Compatible with all Bixpy motors (J-1, J-2, K-1), the Versa Rudder can motorize Hobie inflatable iTrek and Lynx kayaks. Note: using the motor on inflatable kayaks at high speeds may damage the hull over time.
*Please note that V-arm Steering is not compatible with this setup.
