The new PKD365 V2.0 Inflatable Pedal Kayak is the perfect choice for fishing, exercise, and water adventures. This model features a human-powered pedal drive system for effortless propulsion and can easily accommodate any low or high beach chair using sturdy double D-rings with straps. Affordable chairs, including low sand chairs, are available at major retailers, and we also offer a durable aluminum chair in our Accessories section.

The PK365 comes equipped with a specially designed aluminum bench and a patent-pending rotomolded mount that securely holds the pedal drive. The high-quality aluminum pedal drive included with this kayak is a premium feature, comparable to $899 models on the market. The updated V2.0 pedal drive is lighter, folds conveniently for easy storage, and makes transportation a breeze.

An elongated cut-out in the kayak allows for quick installation of the pedal drive, while a Velcro cover closes it off when needed. For added convenience, the pedal drive can be lifted out of the way for smooth beaching. If you prefer traditional paddling, the kayak can also be used without the drive and comes with a standard kayak paddle.

Steering Options for PK365 V2.0:

1. Kayak Paddle Steering – Use the included kayak paddle to adjust direction, with stabilizing fins ensuring straight tracking.
2. Drop-In Rudder System – Install an optional kayak rudder into the pre-drilled hole in the rear cone. Two DIY cockpit-controlled cords adjust direction, while two bungee cords secure the rudder in a straight position. See the Attachments tab for DIY ideas. 
3. Rudder Kit with Control Lever – The new V2.0 includes compatibility for an optional rudder kit with a control lever, which installs into the rear splash guard track for easy steering. We offer 2 packages - base package without rudder kit and package with rudder kit and lever included. Please select at checkout.

Customer's review of pedal kayak V1.0

FAQ:

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

Answer: Yes, this kayak can definitely be used for fishing. It features a sturdy aluminum board across the hull, which allows you to bolt on fishing rod holders, fish finders, or other gear directly.

You also have several other options for adding rod holders. Glue-on holders, such as those made by Scotty, can be attached to the top of the side tubes or the floor. A milk crate with rod holders can be placed on the floor and secured with bungee cords or tie-downs.

The new Version 2.0 model now includes accessory rail tracks that are compatible with most standard kayak accessories, such as RAILBLAZA rod holders and track mounts available on Amazon. There are many setup possibilities depending on your needs and creativity.

Quick setup instructions:

• If not already done, bolt the rotomolded pedal drive mount to the aluminum bench using the 2 provided stainless bolts. Then, attach the 2 plastic sliding locks on top of the mount using 2 screws each—these hold the pedal drive rod in place.
• Place the aluminum bench between the two D-rings on each side of the tube, just in front of the cut-out. Use the 2 provided straps to secure the bench so it doesn’t move. For stronger hold, you can replace the straps with heavy-duty lashing tie-downs from Amazon—just cut them shorter and seal the ends with a flame.
• Position the bench so the mount is centered in the kayak and aligned with the cut-out in the floor. The pedal drive shaft should be straight down and centered.
• Remove the Velcro cover and lower the pedal drive into the cut-out. Use the Velcro strap across the front D-rings to hold the drive in place and prevent it from lifting while pedaling. To remove or lift the drive, unstrap the Velcro and rotate the motor out using the rod inside the mount. You can also rest the prop on top of the closed cover.
• Do not turn the pedals when the prop is resting on the kayak surface—this can loosen the prop bolt and cause it to fall off during use.
• Use the double D-ring straps to secure your beach chair to the floor. Try different positions for best balance; lower seating generally works better.
• Use the kayak paddle to steer or make small adjustments with just a 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.

Important Warnings:

– Do not use a hammer during pedal drive assembly. This will damage internal gears and void the warranty.
– Of the two bolts securing the pedal cranks, one is clockwise and the other is counterclockwise.
– Inspect all bolts to ensure they are tight. Use liquid thread locker if needed.
– Check that the bolt holding the propeller is secure to avoid losing the prop in water. Apply thread locker here as well.
– Periodically lubricate the pedal drive for smooth operation.
– Always wear or have a personal flotation device (PFD) available.
– Inflate the main floor to a maximum of 70 kPa (10 PSI) and the side tubes to 25 kPa (3.5 PSI).
– Do not place heavy loads on the kayak while the fins are touching the ground.
– Never drag the kayak over pavement.
