Native Titan X On Water No Scubber Plugs

[@freeagentangler5159]

Thank you very much for this video. They definitely fix the issue!! This will make it so much safer when caught in rough waters. Thank you again for this video.

[@charlescurryadventures]

Absolutely. Thank you for watching.

[@HendersonHookin]

I know that guy!!!

[@codythron5307]

Damn that thing is loud when peddling it !

[@charlescurryadventures]

@@codythron5307 that was my mistake. I did not have it seated correctly. I noticed later in the video so it gets quieter. Sorry.

Great content! Right on time!

👍for taking a half day off of work 😂 and 👍👍 for the upload and review

[@charlescurryadventures]

Thank you as always sir.

Even with my scupper plugs in on my Titan 10.5, I still get water coming in from the drive cover! (But that's only if I go over 4 miles an hour, or in 15+ mph white cap winds!) Lol My Titan weighs over 200 pounds, with all the fishing gear, elec. motor, and both batteries (nearly as much as me!). People afraid of their "Sunday-Best-Shoes" getting wet, don't need to be in Any Watercraft...! Haha!

[@charlescurryadventures]

Absolutely. Kayaks sit in water so you better be prepared to get wet sooner or later. Ha. Thank you for watching.

[@VinceB391]

Appreciate you for making this video man! Just to clarify, the little bit of water that’s coming in is from the open scuppers and not from the area around the plastic centerpiece, right?

[@charlescurryadventures]

Correct. When I would pedal it would come up the scubber holes. I took the plugs out to test. It would drain pretty quickly and I believe this is much better than the older titans.

[@VinceB391]

@@charlescurryadventures Sweet. Thanks for letting me know! I’m going to hit-up that New Braunfels store, instead of the other, soon.

[@cindyschnell]

I have been enjoying your video on the native titen X I have one myself but have not put it in the water, I have done some mods but my question to u is did your seat come with a bar to clock the seat when it's facing forward? At ICAST they showed using it but mine dose not have one so I thought I'd reach out to you. I have also reached out to native but they have not answered yet

[@charlescurryadventures]

No. It free spins. If you look at it in line it says 360 non locking seat. When I find the locking mechanism I am going to purchase it. Would probably make another good video. Thank you for watching.

[@jeremypierce1607]

According to the company, in testing most people liked it not locked because it stays forward really well and they you don't have to unlock it to turn.

[@sgastel22]

Curious as to why you do not lock your pedal drive down? there is a clip behind it that should be be used to hold the system down.

[@charlescurryadventures]

@@sgastel22 yes there is. I was in a controlled environment just testing the system is all.

[@scottszczechowicz5699]

Ty for video👍

[@charlescurryadventures]

Thank you for watching.

[@azevedoplumbing]

Turn them bees into ppees . Scupper

[@charlescurryadventures]

After I created the thumbnail I noticed the misspelling. I just left it. But thank you. And thank you for watching. Happy New Year

[@freeagentangler5159]

Hopefully in their future model they will have a retractable rudder.

[@charlescurryadventures]

This has that sling blade rudder. It drops down to more of a skeg position. Kinda like the Hobie pa. I just don't use that option. It turns so good without having to.

[@freeagentangler5159]

@@charlescurryadventures you are going to love it. I really loved my Titan but I got cause in some real rough waters and if I didn’t have a pump I would have sunk because the water wouldn’t bail out

[@charlescurryadventures]

@@freeagentangler5159 that's what I heard about the older models. That's why I put out this video. So people could see for themselves. I never owned the older titan so I was not sure how bad they got. This one seems to drain pretty decent.

[@michaell1665]

Water or no water in the cockpit is only a matter of weight in the kayak, how high the deck is above the waterline, and kayak size/design. My 2016 Slayer Propel 13 always gets perhaps 1/4 inch or so of water in the cockpit. But that's because the fully loaded hull puts the waterline near the top of scupper holes. The higher the waterline, the more stable the kayak is for standing. A small amount of water in the cockpit is irrelevant for me - I wear sandals in warm weather and waterproof boots in cold weather! I can easily stand in my SP13, but barely could in my older Outback because the deck was several inches above the waterline. By the way, I only plug my scuppers for the 4 front scuppers in the cockpit. One has my transducer in it and the other 3 have allowed dropped lures to get sucked out. I ALWAYS leave the 2 scuppers under the seat and the 2 in the rear compartment open. You want all compartments, IMO, to have a method to drain unless your only fishing small, calm ponds. I often pass through rough water with waves breaking over my bow and the excess water drains right out through the open scuppers. I know a guy who sold his SP13 and bought a PA14 because a small amount of water in the cockpit bothered him. Damn, it's kayak fishing - and the water is not a big deal. Now he has a barge and God help him if he breaks his mirage drive 3 miles from the launch!!! Try paddling that monster!

[@charlescurryadventures]

My Titan X is a foot short than my PA14 but it is 2 inches wider and the titan definitely paddles easier. Thank you for watching.

[@piesquared1025]

You only need to pull scuppers if your getting water over the bow or other reasons. Got a lil water ? pull a scupper, let it drain, plug it back up. Scuppers in = more bouyancy. Running rapids, leave them out. Running calm lakes, leave them in.

[@charlescurryadventures]

Yes this was for testing purposes. They said the old titans kept water in them even with the scuppers removed. That inches of water stayed in the cockpit area. Testing to see if the new titan x did the same thing. Thank you for watching.

[@huckfin1100]

It gets wet forget it, I would keep plugs in pull one to drain if needed !

[@charlescurryadventures]

I agree. My plugs stay in. Thank you for watching.

[@Tom_Monahan]

Holy cavitation Batman. So glad I didn’t consider that yak.

[@charlescurryadventures]

Read the description. That was my bad. Not the kayak. If you notice it got quieter later. And you can actually see in the video where I messed up. Thank you for watching.

[@Tom_Monahan]

@@charlescurryadventures The description is worse than the cavitation. What is a scubber plug?

[@charlescurryadventures]

@@Tom_Monahan yes sometimes English is my second language. Thank you for pointing that out.

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

Man that drive is so loud

[@charlescurryadventures]

Read the description. That was my bad. If you listen it gets quiet. When I placed it down the first time it landed on top of the locking mechanism because I forgot to pull it back. Rookie mistake. You can even see it in the video. After it dropped then it got quiet. My bad. Thank you for watching. I am just used to Hobie drives that drop in and self clip. Ha

[@jwalker497]

Can you confirm if the seat locks are all into position OR does it freely swivel?! if it doesn’t lock, can it move around if you pedal very hard?

[@charlescurryadventures]

It does not lock. On the website it says non locking 360 swivel seat. It does move a tiny bit when pedaling but not a lot. When they release the lever system that locks it I will be purchasing it.

[@williamlevan788]

That pedal drive is very noisy.

[@charlescurryadventures]

That was me not having it locked down properly. I figured it out later and it got quiet when I fixed it. Sorry.

[@keithhughes2936]

Well it also depends on how much weight the person is and how much shit you have in the yak also.

[@charlescurryadventures]

Absolutely. That's why in the description I mentioned I am 185 and had about 15lbs of extra gear.

[@CrazyCranker]

@5:08, Why is there so much noise when you pedal? Sounds like a lawnmower trying to start.

[@charlescurryadventures]

If you look there are times I don't actually have the drive seated properly. I had it resting higher so it would hopefully not get caught up in grass. The times it is quiet is because I had the drive fully in the down position. Thank you for watching.

[@VooDoo2049]

ok ill give u a one up lol....have a hobie 360 14.....love it. also i noticed you dont have a lot a gear and the water level on the hole is verry close so.

[@charlescurryadventures]

I had a bunch of Hobie PA14's. Just sold my 2023 not too long ago. They are dryer in the deck for sure. But the titan is way better than what I heard the old ones were. Thank you for watching.

[@GalaxyRods]

That's the nosiest drive ever!!👀

[@charlescurryadventures]

@@GalaxyRods if you look at the video I did not have it seated correctly. I was trying to get thru the high grass. Then watch as it fully seats and then it gets quiet. Thank you for watching.

[@lighto999]

y is the pedal drive so loud? are there any quiet ones? thx

[@charlescurryadventures]

That was my mistake and not the pedal drive. Go to the videos after. I did not drop the assembly correctly. That was my mistake. Thank you for watching.

[@seanb2604]

Does it always sound like a washing machine?

[@charlescurryadventures]

I did not have the drive dropped down properly. That was my fault. At the end of the video and other videos you can hear the difference. Thank you for watching.

[@BassManStrikes]

You know you can edit your title right LOL 😆 scubbers.

[@charlescurryadventures]

Oh yes I know. And I know I misspelled them. Haha. Just wasn't too worried about it. Figured the point was still made. Ha. Thank you for watching.

[@Deltakingca]

You hear all those splashing and prop sound like its hitting something? And drive popping up... Drop your drive all the way and lock it.. i noticed u cut the video videonthen it started running smoothly when it came back on. But im just commenting to let all ppl know its not the kayak that fault its the user 🤷‍♂️

[@charlescurryadventures]

Absolutely. I mention that in the comments. It was user error. I did not have it seated correctly. Thank you for watching.

[@Deltakingca]

@CyberYakerAdventures sorry I was watching and commenting at the same time lol my apologies but let get them view!. I'm selling my 10 slayermax for a titan 10.5 should i?

[@charlescurryadventures]

@@Deltakingca I don't have any experience with the 10.5 but I bet it would be worth the upgrade.
