Bixpy Setup on Old Town PDL Salty

Does any one have experience where the Bixpy is setup on the rudder? How has it held up over time?  Pros and Cons? 

Thinking about going this direction.

I am not experienced with Old Town PDL, but experienced with the 2017 Hobie Outback Stow-away rudder mount.
I didn't enjoy the rudder mount due to debris, fishing lines getting caught, and difficulty removing them.
Lately, I have been using DIY rod holder mount, and you can see additional details in my video:

Do you mind reposting your video link? I don't see the video in your reply. I would be really interested in seeing your setup.

Thanks so much!

Thanks!  I think the forums is preventing any link from appearing.  I see it now in the reply box. 

Thanks again!

Hi All,
I have an old town sportsman pdl 120.... I have followed Paul's setup for same reasons..... if there is any seagrass, any at all, in the water it does foul my bixpy and without landing and getting out of the kayak I don't think I would be able to clear it if it were on my rudder.   I also built a plate and mounted my bixpy in the pedal drive but changing it out on the water is a pain with no noticeable gain.... and could not pedal and bixpy at the same time.  The rod holder mount works best for me.... the only issue is that the yak does not turn as well as you fight the bixpy when tuning into it.... not a big deal but something.... this way I can pedal some and use the bixpy when I want for assist.... and if/when it fouls .... pull it out of the rod holder and clean it and then back in it goes.

works good for me.  Thanks Paul for the vid as it was helpful.... still ended up doing it twice but works good now.
