The DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Fin & Rudder Adapter serves as the base for all other Bixpy Adapters for J-1 Motors, making it the perfect DIY Adapter. You can use this adapter to custom-build your own Bixpy Ready fin or rudder. 

This is also the adapter you will need for Bixpy Ready components from other manufacturers. For example, the Vibe Bixpy-Ready Gravity Rudder will require this adapter to fit the Bixpy J-1 Motor. 

If you need to mount the motor to a flat surface, you can add the Flat Surface Bracket for a flat mount. In addition to this DIY adapter, we also offer a DIY ThruHull adapter for installation on various kayaks' dry storage pods.

If you have a rudder, centerboard, or skeg plate or anything with 1/4" (6mm) thickness and you would like to motorize it, you can download a DIY blade template and make your motorized rudder or skeg with the DIY (Do It Yourself) Fin & Rudder Adapter. 

Check out this instructional video on exactly how to do that in minutes. In this video, we install a Bixpy Jet to a rudder from a Viking Kayak. You can attach the Bixpy DIY  Rudder Adapter to virtually any kayak rudder using the same method. You can also use the same method to attach the jets to almost every fin on any small watercraft.
