FAQ:

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

Answer: There is sturdy aluminum board attached across kayak hull. Fishing rod holders, fish finders, and other equipment can be bolted right to that aluminum board. Optional Scotty glue on fishing rod holders can be glued to top of tubes or floor. Milk crate with fishing rod holders can be placed on floor and secured with bungee cords or lashing tie downs. Possibilities are endless for customers with imagination and good hands. New V 2.0 now comes with rail tracks for accessories that works with any type of kayak accessories designed for tracks. Can mount for example RAILBLAZA rod holders, adapters, etc.

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

Answer: In order to keep price affordable, we decided to opt out of kayak rudder being pre installed. Kayak comes with 2 fins that offer strait tracking. Kayak paddle can be used to adjust direction as needed. Optional, included, rudder can be easily added to this kayak if it required. Please see suggested method of installation in Attachments tab.

Quick instructions:

• If not already done so, rotomolded pedal drive mount need to be bolted to aluminum bench with 2 provided stainless steel bolts.
• 2 plastic sliding locks need to be attached on top of rotomolded mount with 2 screws each. Locks are needed to hold pedal drive rod inside mount.
• Place aluminum bench between 2 D-rings on each side of tube, in front of cut out. Use provided 2 straps to secure bench, so that it does not move. Provided straps can be replaced with lashing tie downs sold on Amazon if needed. Just cut them shorter and fry cut ends with open flame.
• Position bench in such way, that mount is in center of kayak, aligned with elongated cut out in kayak floor. Pedal drive shaft must be perpendicular to the floor and centered inside cut out.
• Remove Velcro cover, and lower pedal drive into opening. Secure with Velcro strap between 2 x D-rings in front of opening, so that motor does not move upward when pedaling. If you need to raise pedal drive, simply disconnect Velcro straps and pull motor out of opening by rotating it over rod secured inside rotomolded mount. You can also close cover and place motor prop right on top of that cover.
• Do NOT try to turn pedals when prop resting on surface of kayak, as that might loosen bolt holding prop and prop can be lost while in use.
• Use straps with double D-rings to secure beach chair to kayak floor. Experiment to find best possible position. Lower chair is better.
• Generally, kayak paddle can be used to easily adjust kayak directions, with just few strokes.

Important Notes on assembly:

• Assemble kayak and pedal drive at your home first, before going for actual water run.
• Make sure all components fit properly. Please check all nuts and bolts not to be loose before first use.
• When pedal drive lowered, it's shaft should rest against cut out front section.
• Pedal drive shaft must be perpendicular to kayak floor.
• If pedal drive not perpendicular to the floor, it might be necessary to re-drill new holes on aluminum bench to adjust position of pedal drive little bit forward or backward. Because inflatable kayaks assembled manually, one by one, slight variations are possible during production. If that is the case, and shaft not under 90 degree angle to the floor, then all you need to do, is to remove bolts from motor mount, position it on top of aluminum bench in a such way that shaft of pedal drive is perpendicular to the floor, mark edge of motor mount on bench, and drill 2 new holes to secure motor mount to bench. Another option would be to remove plastic pedal drive mount, rotate it 180 degree, and then bolt it back to aluminum bench. Because distance from tube to edge of mount different that might move pedal drive shaft to correct position without need for drilling.
