K-1 Outboard Kit with SUN80 Solar Panel
Description
The Bixpy K-1 Outboard Kit with SUN80 Solar Panel is the third and most refined generation of Bixpy's legendary jet propulsion system - a setup that has already motorized thousands of kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, float tubes, dinghies, and inflatable watercraft over the past five years. Packing 33 lbs of thrust into a package that weighs under 10 lbs combined (motor and battery), the K-1 delivers serious performance without the bulk. The K-1 Motor is approximately 20% shorter than its predecessor, the J-2, yet matches it in output while running quieter and featuring a more rugged aluminum housing.
Adding the SUN80 Solar Panel to the kit means you can charge your PP-378 Outboard Battery on the go - 80 watts of mono-crystalline solar output will fully charge the battery in 6 to 10 hours, dramatically extending your time on the water. Whether you're fishing, trolling, exploring new waterways, or just need a reliable push home when conditions turn, this all-in-one motorized kit is built for adventurous paddlers who demand more from every outing. Compatible with watercraft from Hobie, Old Town, Wilderness Systems, Pelican, Sea Eagle, iRocker, Bote, and dozens more, the K-1 Outboard Kit fits virtually any personal watercraft on the market.

FAQ
Does this kit include a mounting adapter for my kayak or watercraft?
No - the K-1 Outboard Kit does not include a mounting adapter. You will need to purchase a compatible mounting adapter separately based on your specific watercraft. Bixpy offers a wide range of adapters for popular brands including Hobie, Old Town, Wilderness Systems, and many others. You can find the right adapter using the Bixpy YMM Chart at bixpy.com/mounting-adapters.
Can I run the motor while the SUN80 Solar Panel is connected?
No - the motor will not run while the SUN80 Solar Panel is connected. The solar panel is designed for charging the PP-378 Outboard Battery between uses or during breaks on the water, not for running the motor simultaneously. Simply disconnect the panel before operating the motor.
How long does the battery last and how fast can the K-1 Motor go?
At top speed, you can expect approximately 80 minutes of runtime. At lower speeds the battery can last up to 12 hours. The K-1 Motor delivers 450 watts and 33 lbs of thrust, giving you 12 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds to dial in the right pace for your outing - whether trolling, cruising, or pushing against wind and current.
What watercraft is the K-1 Outboard Kit compatible with?
The K-1 Outboard Kit is designed to motorize virtually any personal watercraft, including kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, float tubes, dinghies, and inflatable pack-rafts. It is compatible with watercraft from Hobie, Old Town, Wilderness Systems, Pelican, Sea Eagle, iRocker, Bote, Kokopelli, Viking, Nucanoe, Feelfree, Jackson, and dozens more brands - as long as you have the appropriate mounting adapter.
Is the battery waterproof, and what happens if it falls in the water?
Yes - the PP-378 Outboard Battery V4 is waterproof and dirt-proof. Even better, both the battery and the wireless remote control are designed to float if they accidentally slip into the water, so you won't lose them overboard. The included magnetic kill switch with floating leash also provides an added layer of safety while underway.
How is this product shipped, and will I need to assemble anything?
The K-1 Outboard Kit ships via standard parcel delivery and does not require freight or pallet shipping. Minimal setup is involved - the kit includes a Quick Start User Manual, and the motor attaches to your watercraft's mounting adapter with a single bolt. No complex assembly is required to get on the water quickly.
