Texas Power Paddle

Born on the Texas coast, the patented Texas Power Paddle© propulsion system comes with everything you need to transform your kayak into an electric-assisted workhorse. The complete system includes our powerful yet sleek auto-retract & deploy brushless propulsion unit, a rugged waterproof case with integrated lithium battery & intelligent drive control features, and a fully-proportional throttle control. Proudly designed & manufactured in Austin, TX.

Overview

The patented retractable hinged mounting system allows the MANTA unit to disappear into the hull cavity when being transported and automatically deploys when activated. The Hobie Outback & ProAngler are super stable fishing platforms and now you can pair that with a retractable propulsion system that can operate in under six inches of water. The complete system is a drop-in replacement for the existing retractable Guardian Transducer Plate and installs in minutes.

What Users Are Saying

It's not going to win any races with the other competitors, but the others won't even know mine's there unless I tell them about it....whereas theirs will be looking like an Erector Set on the back. The install is ridiculously easy, and the battery life is incredible.

Just wanted to let you know that the MANTA on my 2022 Hobie Outback and it worked very well this weekend in some challenging conditions. We had winds up to 25 mph and gusts over 30. To get back to my launch site I had the head wind for over 2 miles and the Manta performed great getting me back without having to use the Hobie drive, I wanted to see how much battery it require under these conditions. Checked the battery capacity after landing, i was surprised that the battery still had 58% of it's capacity remaining and I was out for over 4 hours battling the wind. I was in very skinny water and was impressed in the depth of water the Manta operated in wasn’t sure how low we could go. The Bixpy can go a bit faster, but he can’t get into the same skinny water that I can, and the Bixpy makes a lot of noise, that’s not a good thing around spooky fish. Glad I went with the Manta it's what I was looking for in a kayak motor.
