Native SideKick Review Titan X

This is a review of the native sidekick and how it helps me move the boat around much easier, opposed to grafting it.

I installed these on my Old-Town 106 PDL and it works awesome! Man Your rudder is getting awfully close to being damaged when you are putting it back on the horses! that is why I prefer the Old town flip up ridder.

[@dangerfield85]

I have the flip up rudder and I’d prefer the design of the Native because it allows better diy/rigability at the stern.

[@RonBarrett1954]

Could I hear your experience about two points: 1. What's it been like lowering the wheels as you're about to come into shore? 2. With the wheels down vertically they're still well behind the center of gravity. How front heavy is wheeling the kayak around, such as pulling up a boat ramp?

[@4WDJeepDriver]

I'm new to your channel. So you can manage transporting your kayak just by using the bed of your truck? Do you need to tie a red flag on the end? I assume you do not own a trailer. Have you ever loaded two Kayaks in the truck bed? Do they fit? Have you ever seen anybody use the flip over truck bed extender with a kayak?

The Sidekick appears to be a far better engineered product than the Boon Dox. Good video.

[@chandlercole5156]

I'm pretty sure Boone dox makes the sidekick for native.

[@51ddb]

@@chandlercole5156 if so they should change the Boone Dox design to match the Sidekick.

Agree the Boonedox wheels for the pro angler gave me more trouble than they were worth. Mine were so sticky and hard to remove from the stowed position I finally said to the heck with them.

[@markhogquist2000]

Do you have to remove the bar attached to the wheels completely in order to switch positions? Or will it rotate without complete removal?

[@watchluver]

Yes, you have to pull them right out of the mount to turn them into rolling position or fishing position.

[@warefisher]

Thanks for the video. At the end of the unloading from the truck and when lowering the bow to the ground, did the wheel assembly fold backwards from vertical a little bit? Looked like it. Did anything happen there?

[@basserbestt4063]

No movement at all! Structure is super strong!

[@Jose-e6h9f]

I caught that too. Looks like there may be a slight bit of play in the hex design of the crossbars. I guess there has to be to be able to easily slide the wheels in and out.

[@SargesAdventures]

Replace the aired up wheels and tires with Ctug tires... better for sure.

[@huckfin1100]

Any person with a brain cell knows those wheels must, must must ! Be in the center of any kayak to take the load off the person. Please move them and try it you will never go back !!

[@basserbestt4063]

I’m not disagreeing with you. The shop set it up and this is how Native recommends it on the Titan. So far no trouble. I may move just to try the theory.

[@Danxiong]

@@basserbestt4063I usually see it right behind the grips. When I was using the boonedox, I would remove the grips and place the boonedox where the grips were. Makes it a bit lighter to carry.

[@mikelafontaine8464]

@@basserbestt4063 Native actually recommends it being installed more forward, the bar should be crossing part of the back battery box, almost blocking access to it but not actually making it impossible to get the lid off, just need to slide it first. Where you have it installed could lead to damaging your tracks.
