Gen 3 PRO Ductless Integrated Rudder Propulsion System for Hobie™ Kayaks

I already had Gen2 units on my PA14 and recently added one to my Lynx also. I was pleased with the clean install and they work like a champ in the right conditions. Its not every day that I needed a more "weedless" option but when the Gen3 Pro was announced I knew I would get one. Ive used it now twice and its definitely got a little more "juice" and I was able to power through some pretty thick grass on my initial test runs. Im convinced it will do what I need it to do in my home waters in N Alabama and on my frequent saltwater trips to Florida and Louisiana.

I fish frequently on the Susquehanna and Junatia rivers in Pennsylvainia. I also fish some lakes. Although I love my Hobie PA 14, the 360 drive does not hold up well going upstream in high current or in grass.

I installed a gen 2 rudder mount as a peddle drive assist. I was delighted with it. In lakes, I only used my peddle drive for positioning against wind. The materials are top quality, the install was easy and the battery allows me to fish for a couple of days before recharging. It helped in normal river current as well. I still wanted more torque for high water, so I ordered the gen 3 as soon as it was introduced. I haven't used it yet but based with MT gen 2 experience, I have no doubt it will exceed my expectations. I strongly recommend Texas Power Paddle products. These are essential for anyone who has the fragile 360 drive.
