Saturn FPK365 V1 specifications


The inflatable pedal kayak V2.0 presents various steering mechanisms to suit diverse preferences and operational ease. The primary and simplest method involves using a kayak paddle for directional adjustments during straight-line navigation, which is the predominant mode of travel. The integrated fins underneath the kayak aid in maintaining straight movement, while minor paddle strokes enable effortless adjustments for turning or reversing.

Alternatively, users can adopt the technique of securing one end of the kayak paddle blade under the left or right armpit, allowing the other end to trail freely in the water towards the kayak's rear. This configuration functions akin to a rudimentary rudder, facilitating subtle corrections in kayak direction while pedaling.

The latest iteration, the 2.0 version, introduces an enhanced steering feature with the inclusion of an additional mounting rail at the rear of the kayak. This rail accommodates an optional rudder system equipped with a lever, available separately in our Accessories section. Or, select model that comes with rudder included. Moreover, a rear-end cone aperture is provided for those interested in installing a DIY pin rudder system, readily available for purchase on platforms like Amazon. Please click Attachments tab for DIY ideas how to install rudder on this kayak.

The Saturn FPK365 inflatable kayak incorporates accessory rail tracks tailored for the effortless attachment of optional equipment such as fishing rod holders, cup holders, and fish finders. Additionally, dedicated paddle holders are integrated on the left side, complemented by a bungee cords storage area for securing miscellaneous items during excursions.

Furthermore, a set of four D-rings is strategically positioned atop the kayak's tubes to facilitate the installation of a DIY electric motor mount, offering enhanced propulsion capabilities. Refer to the Attachments tab for comprehensive guidance. For optimal installation, a horizontal 8" wide plywood board can be securely fastened using a pair of tie-downs running between D-rings on each tube. Subsequently, a vertical wooden motor plate can be affixed to the board, either on the side of the kayak or through a designated hole in the kayak floor.

Notably, the rotomolded well designed for housing the pedal drive is conveniently removable and can be extracted from the deflated kayak. To facilitate its removal and installation, it is recommended to employ a soapy water mixture or shampoo, ensuring a smoother transition. Avoid attempting to force-fit the rotomolded mount onto a dry surface, as it snugly fits inside the cut-out in the drop-stitch floor.

Kayak Pedal Drive Instructions

1. This is NOT a racing kayak.
   - Do NOT apply excessive pressure on the pedals to increase speed. Doing so may damage the chains and cables.
   - Average kayak speed is 3-4 mph. Overloading with powerful pedal strokes may cause damage, which is not covered by warranty.

2. Pedal Technique:
   - Avoid pushing the pedals too fast. Apply steady, light pressure for smooth forward movement.
   - A stroke every 2 seconds is sufficient to propel the kayak efficiently.
   - Shorter strokes, instead of full-range ones, can also maintain speed.

3. Pedal Drive Locking:
   - Ensure the black dot on the pedal well faces backward (towards you). If it's not aligned, deflate the floor section, rotate the rotomolded well part 180 degrees, and re-inflate to fix the unlocking issue.

4. Shallow Water Warning:
   - When in shallow waters, prevent the pedal drive fins from hitting the bottom by moving the pedals apart to flatten the fins against the kayak bottom.

5. Carry a Paddle:
   - Always bring a paddle as a backup in case of pedal drive issues.

6. Pedal Drive Alignment:
   - Ensure the rotomolded insert is aligned straight. Slight movement of the locks during pedaling is normal due to the flexibility of the insert.

7. Safety Gear:
   - Always wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD), carry a whistle and communication device, and inform someone of your trip plans.

8. Spare Parts:
   - Contact us if you need spare parts. We're happy to assist!

FAQ:

Question: Can this kayak be used for fishing, how do I add rod holders?

Answer: The kayak comes with two pre-installed accessory gear track mounts, making it easy to attach fishing rod holders, fish finders, and other equipment. Most YakAttack, Railblaza, or Ram accessories are compatible with these mounts. If needed, Scotty glue-on fishing rod holders can also be attached to the top of the tubes or floor. A milk crate with fishing rod holders can be placed on the floor and secured with bungee cords or tie-downs. The setup options are endless for those with creativity and handy skills.

Question: Why kayaks does not have rudder in a rear pre installed?

Answer: To keep the price affordable, we have opted not to include a pre-installed kayak rudder. Instead, the kayak comes with two fins that provide good, straight tracking. You can use the kayak paddle to adjust direction as needed. If desired, an optional kayak rudder or complete rudder system can be purchased for DIY installation. We now offer a new rudder system, including cables and a lever, specifically designed to work with the V2.0 pedal kayak. There are various ways to operate the rear rudder from the cockpit, and we leave the final implementation up to you. Please refer to the Attachments tab and the videos below for suggested installation methods.

Question: How to replace broken chain?

Answer: We can provide replacement chain if needed. You will need needle nose pliers and painters tape. Please follow easy direction in this YouTube video. No need to fully remove fin, just pull it down slightly, to feed chain into opening.
