Besides the speed, it allows me to sort my gear out while getting to a fishing spot, setting up rods and soft baits or jigs. Also handy if fishing near rocks to keep you safer. Can get scary fighting a fish and drifting into wash and rocks.
@@kiwibeaf360the Viking reload has a swapable rudder. The motor is mounted to the bottom of the rudder, can be pulled out of the water while out on the kayak to prevent line tangles or when beach landing. Yes removed for transport. I've got another video where i go over my setup.
NewZealand is the Snapper nation. Kayak glide very well
for a big kayak they paddle quite well. Viking Reload - Made in New Zealand (about 100M from my office/warehouse)
16:50 Geez that wind picked up. Looked glassy and calm at first. Good effort. I have to make a trip out there someday 👍
Always be prepared for a change.
Nice one. That bixpy seems to motor along quickly. How fast can u get at full power plus paddling
In calm water the Bixpy will push me at around 7km/hr, slower into current. Have hit about 12kph paddling flat out with bixpy running full.

Nice. How about the setup does it just stay on your kayak or do you remove it for transport. Is it easy to install?

Do people launch there boats from there?
Not easy, very stoney and depending on tide, can be steep
