Bixpy Universal Versa Rudder – The World’s First Motor-Ready Rudder System
Bixpy Universal Versa Rudder – The World’s First Motor-Ready Rudder System
Precision Steering and Seamless Motor Integration
The Bixpy Universal Versa Rudder™ (SKU: AC-RUD-2301) is a revolutionary step forward in kayak propulsion and maneuverability. While most rudders are designed solely for steering, the Versa Rudder™ is the first of its kind specifically engineered to accept a Bixpy K-1 or J-2 motor as an integrated component. This “motor-ready” design eliminates the need for bulky side-mounts or complex stern brackets, keeping your motor perfectly aligned with your rudder for the most responsive steering experience possible.
Crafted from a combination of anodized aluminum and glass-filled nylon, the Versa Rudder™ is built to handle the torque of a motorized system while remaining lightweight and durable in both freshwater and saltwater environments.Whether you’re a tournament angler needing precise boat control or a recreational paddler looking for a “plug-and-play” motor solution, this rudder is the ultimate foundation for your watercraft.
Advanced Mechanical Features for Total Control
The AC-RUD-2301 kit isn’t just a mounting point; it’s a feature-rich steering system designed for the realities of the water:
-
Slide & Stow Mechanism: Featuring a robust, double-hinged 90° Slide & Stow design, you can pull the rudder completely out of the water in a heartbeat using the included pull-up rope. This is essential for launching, beaching, or navigating heavy vegetation.
-
Gravity-Driven Lock: One of the biggest challenges with motorizing a rudder is the “kick-up” when in reverse.The Versa Rudder™ solves this with a clever gravity-lock mechanism that keeps the rudder submerged while in reverse, yet still allows it to “kick up” if you strike a submerged object while moving forward.
-
V-ARM™ Steering Integration: The AC-RUD-2301 specifically includes the V-ARM™ Steering Bracket.This allows you to connect the rudder directly to your kayak’s existing foot-brace steering lines, providing a familiar and intuitive hands-free steering experience.

Effortless Installation and Universal Fit
The Versa Rudder™ is designed for a no-drill, seconds-long installation. It features a standard 10mm stainless steel pin that fits the majority of standard rudder gudgeons on the market. If your kayak has a hole for a rudder at the stern, chances are the Versa Rudder™ will drop right in.
Once installed, the rudder’s specialized “tail” improves the turning radius of your kayak even when you aren’t using the motor. When you are ready to power up, simply remove the cap on the rudder, slide in your Bixpy motor, and lock it into place. This streamlined setup keeps the motor’s weight on the centerline, ensuring your kayak maintains its natural tracking and stability.
