Product Details

Bixpy Versa Rudder™ with Steering is the first rudder on the market specifically designed to be motor-compatible. The rudder is made from anodized aluminum and glass-filled nylon, and is ready to take on any adventure, whether in saltwater or fresh. The Versa Rudder also offers a tail for improved turning, wheels to assist with raising and lowering the rudder, a quick-release pin, and two steering options (Pole Steering/V-Arm Steering).

The Versa Rudder™ is incredibly easy to install, thanks to its molded 10mm stainless steel pin. You can swap out most other rudders in seconds! Additionally, its sturdy, double-hinged 90° Slide & Stow mechanism allows you to quickly pull the rudder completely out of the water.

The Versa Rudder™ also features a gravity-driven locking mechanism that allows the rudder to lock into place when motorized in forward or reverse. Steering our rudder can be done by using the existing rudder steering lines on your watercraft with our included V-ARM™ Steering Bracket. If you do not have existing steering lines on your kayak, you can use our Pole Steering to steer the rudder instead of the V-ARM™ Steering Bracket. Please ensure you select the appropriate steering option for your watercraft. Bixpy Telescopic Steering Handle is included with the Pole Steering option.
