  • Hi folks, I recently did a speed test on my Bixpy Jet Kayak Motor. The big question is whether or not it's faster without the pedal drive down. I used a Navarre Kayak Fishing Insert specifically made for the Old Town Sportsman PDL 120. The results may be surprising to some!!! Please note the speeds will vary depending on the type of kayak, weather conditions, and how much gear you have. In this test, I am tournament ready meaning I have a lot of stuff on board.

    damn i'm thinking of getting a Bixby jet to test out my Bkc tandem 14 foot kayak with fully loaded kayak on 2 foot pedal drive props. just to see how good it is vs the minnkota trolling motor and Gas 52cc 2.3hp 2 stroke outboard motor(built like a trollin motor but gas operated) from amazon..

    • @WannaFishAllDay

      Definitely not gonna be as fast but pretty impressive for how small and simple it is. I’ve been averaging about 3-3.5 mph.

      @@WannaFishAllDay lol that's good enough for me. I think.. as along as it can withstand 11mph or less winds and get me across the lake to my fishing spots(what i'll mostly use it for)
      when i'm lazy using the pedal drive. Am not using it for any salt water ocean fishing.

    Surprised at how slow it performs. Thinking of one for my PDL 106 but really want more performance for the cost

    • @WannaFishAllDay
      @WannaFishAllDay  ปีที่แล้ว

      Newport NK-180 is another great option. The Bixpy is awesome but it depends what’s most important to you (speed, compact, ease of installation, cost etc.)

    Have you tested speeds pedaling with the motor going? I’m curious if pedaling lightly would increase speeds at the lower settings to improve battery life even more.

    • @WannaFishAllDay
      @WannaFishAllDay  ปีที่แล้ว

      I usually pedal lightly with motor on. Definitely get higher speeds with very little effort pedaling.

      I get 4mph just using the pdl on my Salty 120. I looking & hoping someone makes a drop in Trolling Motor to Replace my Pdl. Just a pull out & drop in type

  • @Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator
    @Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I own 2 new Salty 120pdl's.
    Does anyone make a Drop in Trolling Motor for the pdl hole? Just a straight pull out the pdl & drop in a Trolling Motor with the same storage compartment like on the PDL?

    • @riverpirate1022
      @riverpirate1022 ปีที่แล้ว

      No and I wish someone would!
      I just acquired the Autopilot unit from an Old Town Autopilot kayak and am trying to figure out how to mod it to work in the PDL hole on my 120 sportsman pdl but its not gonna be easy. I could easily do a regular trolling motor using another blank off plate, but this will give me ipilot and I paid peanuts for this unit.
      If only they had designed it around the PDL hole, but they put it farther forward for stability reasons.

    Do u feel that the motor is slightly offset from centre

    • @WannaFishAllDay
      @WannaFishAllDay  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It tracks the same for me and I can’t tell a difference. At first, it would steer right from the start but I realized the motor was not completely parallel with the kayak. Once I made the adjust, it tracked straight.

  • @riverpirate1022
    @riverpirate1022 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This motor is way to slow and you tested going into waves and a headwind.
    Also the prop basket you swapped in during install is much more restrictive than the stock one, I would switch that back if I were you.

    • @WannaFishAllDay
      @WannaFishAllDay  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for your comment. That’s a good suggestion in the prop basket.
