Bixpy Universal Versa Kayak Rudder System w/ Pole Steering & Telescopic Handle

The Bixpy Universal Versa Rudder™ Kayak Rudder System delivers precise steering, smooth tracking, and confident control as a rugged replacement for many factory-installed kayak rudders. Its reinforced design improves handling for paddle-powered kayaks and is specifically engineered to support motor-assisted use when paired with the Bixpy K-1 Kayak Motor.
Featuring pole steering with a telescopic handle, the Versa Rudder provides intuitive, hands-on directional control with smooth, responsive movement. The extended rudder blade improves straight-line stability while enabling sharper, more controlled turns, helping reduce fatigue during longer paddles or K-1 Motor–powered runs.
A heavy-duty sliding dual-hinge design allows the rudder to deploy fully for maximum control or raise clear of the water for shallow areas, beaching, transport, or storage. An integrated kick-up protection feature helps protect the rudder by allowing it to pivot upward when encountering submerged obstacles.
Constructed from marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials, the Versa Rudder is built to withstand both paddle use and the added loads of K-1 Motor operation in freshwater and saltwater environments. It is designed to fit kayaks that use a standard 10mm rudder pin, making it a versatile upgrade or replacement option for many touring, fishing, and recreational kayaks.
The system is available with multiple gudgeon configurations to match your kayak’s stern design, including No Gudgeon, Hobie® Lynx Gudgeon, Simple Gudgeon, and WillFit™ Gudgeon options. Each configuration provides a secure mounting solution while maintaining the same reliable steering performance.
Whether upgrading an existing rudder or operating a kayak with the Bixpy K-1 Kayak Motor, the Universal Versa Rudder™ System delivers improved handling, dependable control, and increased on-water confidence.Key Features:
