A kayak deck, a paddle board, the floor of a small inflatable. If you can get to both sides of a flat panel, you can mount it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt seals where it passes through, so a dry pod stays dry. A motor shield sits below the mount to take the scrape if you find a rock. The whole assembly weighs under a pound and sets the motor 10\" down from the bottom of the hull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll the mounting hardware is in the kit. The dry pod is not, and neither is the motor. If you are working on a hull that needs more room to install, such as some Feelfree kayaks, add Starboard plates to your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Draft:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\" from the bottom of the kayak to the bottom of the motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine-grade components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bixpy K-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 year from date of purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounts to any flat surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e A dry pod, a kayak deck, a paddle board, the floor of a small inflatable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealed pass-through:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps the inside of a dry pod dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor shield:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protects the motor if you scrape a rock or a bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder a pound:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds almost nothing to the boat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll hardware included:\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit has every part needed for the install.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarine grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Waterproof, dirt-proof and corrosion-resistant for fresh water and salt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry pod sold separately:\u003c\/strong\u003e The adapter is the mounting kit, not the pod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor sold separately:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built for the Bixpy K-1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBixpy DIY POD Adapter Questions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the Bixpy DIY POD Adapter include a dry pod?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The kit is the mounting hardware.
