N-3 Motor Assembly
The Bixpy N-3 Motor Assembly is the heart of the Bixpy N-3 Outboard Motor system, delivering impressive 3HP-equivalent performance through a high-efficiency electric brushless motor. Designed for jon boats, dinghies, inflatables, tenders, and small sailboats, this direct-drive unit brings serious propulsion to compact watercraft without the noise, fumes, or maintenance hassle of a gas motor. Its ultra-quiet operation and smooth stepless throttle response make it a favorite for anglers, sailors, and recreational boaters who value a clean, refined experience on the water.
Built with IP67 waterproofing and marine-grade corrosion-resistant construction, the N-3 Motor Assembly is engineered to withstand the rigors of regular saltwater and freshwater use alike. Whether you’re navigating a calm lake, a tidal flat, or coastal waters, this motor is purpose-built to keep you moving reliably and quietly. Note: battery is not included – this assembly requires the Bixpy NB-1440 Power Pack for operation.
Key Features
- 3HP-Equivalent Power: Delivers 1.2kW of output through a PMSM brushless DC motor – serious performance without the gas engine.
- Direct-Drive Brushless Motor: No belts, gears, or brushes means zero routine maintenance and long-term reliability on the water.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation: Runs near-silently compared to gas outboards – ideal for fishing, wildlife watching, or simply enjoying peaceful time on the water.
- IP67 Waterproof Rating: Fully protected against water immersion, built to handle splashes, rain, and demanding marine environments.
- Corrosion-Resistant Marine Construction: Rugged materials engineered specifically to hold up in both freshwater and saltwater conditions.
- Stepless Throttle Response: Smooth, continuous speed control with no fixed gear steps – dial in exactly the speed you need.
- 2-Blade Aluminum Propeller: 9.25″ diameter prop spinning at 1750 RPM for efficient thrust across a range of small watercraft.
- Two Shaft Length Options: Available in Short (22.5″ / 572mm) or Long (27.3″ / 693mm) to match your transom height and boat type.
- Compatible with Bixpy NB-1440 Power Pack: Designed specifically to pair with the NB-1440 battery system for a complete, optimized propulsion setup.
- 1-Year Warranty: Backed by a full year of coverage from Bixpy or any authorized Bixpy dealer.
Shaft Length Options & Which to Choose
- Short Shaft (22.5″ / 572mm): Sized for lower transoms typically found on small jon boats, compact inflatables, and shallow-draft dinghies. If your transom measures around 15″ in height, this is your fit.
- Long Shaft (27.3″ / 693mm): Designed for taller transoms common on larger inflatables, tenders, and small sailboats. If your transom measures around 20″ in height, the long shaft keeps your prop properly submerged and running efficiently.
What’s Included
- N-3 Motor Assembly (motor unit with selected shaft length)

FAQ
No, the battery is not included. The N-3 Motor Assembly requires the Bixpy NB-1440 Power Pack for operation, which is sold separately. Make sure to pair the motor with the correct battery pack for a complete, functional system.
Shaft length depends on your boat’s transom height. The Short Shaft (22.5″) is best for transoms around 15″ tall, typical of small jon boats and compact inflatables. The Long Shaft (27.3″) suits transoms around 20″ tall, common on larger tenders and small sailboats. Choosing the correct length ensures your propeller stays properly submerged for efficient, reliable thrust.
The N-3 is designed for a wide range of small watercraft, including jon boats, dinghies, inflatable boats, tenders, and small sailboats. As long as your boat has a compatible transom and you pair the motor with the NB-1440 Power Pack, you can enjoy clean, quiet electric propulsion.
One of the biggest advantages of the N-3 is its maintenance-free design. Because it uses a direct-drive brushless motor, there are no brushes to replace, no oil to change, and no fuel system to service. Rinse it with fresh water after saltwater use and inspect the propeller periodically for debris – that’s essentially all it takes.
Yes. The N-3 Motor Assembly carries an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against full immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Combined with its corrosion-resistant marine-grade construction, it is built to handle splashes, rain, and the everyday demands of boating in both fresh and saltwater environments.
Significantly quieter. The brushless direct-drive motor produces a low, smooth hum rather than the loud combustion noise of a gas engine. This makes it ideal for fishing in noise-sensitive areas, navigating wildlife zones, or simply enjoying a peaceful time on the water without engine noise drowning out the experience.
