Old Town Flexible PDL Drive Locking Knob

[@clutester]

I don't own a Old Town kayak but I'm always amazed at the smart stuff you have developed for them.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I hope you’re doing well, Dave.

[@dawg1982]

I love your products. I left the thank you card on my kitchen counter after opening my package and had my wife come up to me later, asking me, "who is Erica?!" 😛

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Ha!

[@noujaiyang1513]

My wife reacted the same 😂

[@CALIBEAR]

Nice piece! Love your products guy's! The rod holder with the flexible caps looks amazing with black abs.

[@tomchalupsky5199]

That is awesome Nick. Excellent job with the engineering on that idea.

[@gobears63]

Nick does it again! Put this guy on Old Town R&D 😂

[@woodsandwater123]

Lol I've been trying to come up with the no drill anchor wizard plan... Really glad to hear that!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It will work out well. Waiting for the laser cutter so we can cut the gaskets required and then we will make a video about it.

[@edkennard72]

That's an awesome upgrade My god for what it cost for those pedal drives that could save a person a lot of money for just a cheap upgrade thank you for taking the time to design that

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for watching the video, Edward.

[@JackRR15]

You are lacking some critical information, the stock PDL knob already does this to prevent damage to your PDL. The problem is that it's one time use and plastic breaks so Navarre made a re-useable one instead. And the price of a replacement stock knob is almost more expensive than his replaceable one.

[@timdoll6718]

Another great product Nick ! I’ll be ordering 2 . I have an 106 MK and Grandson has a Topwater PDL . This will also end the cavitating and lifting problem when running the motor unlocked in reverse

[@thesaltycracker7102]

That is absolutely genius!

[@jeremysoutooradventures4141]

Can't wait to see how you did the anchor setup

[@oscarl.esparza876]

Thanks Nick! Just ordered a couple, the other products I ordered earlier are awesome!!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks, Oscar.

[@freshsaltyfries5078]

You the man nick!

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

Looks great!

[@robbiejohnson3698]

Great video I got the boat iam probably going to need some help on the water hey man I appreciate you taking the time to make all the upgrades in the future Iam going with the anchor wizard thanks

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Glad we can help. Let us know if you have any questions.

[@williambrown4086]

Great fix !

[@davemillard840]

Must have upgrade!!

[@GunDolfOutdoors]

Definitely gonna need this!👍🏻

[@joemartin6439]

I am 6,1 tall 195 lbs need the 1inch front and rear seat riser. I had an Anchor Wizard on my Big Fish 120. It was great. When I get money I will buy one form you and the lock break away item

[@whittamps]

Great mind to come up with this solution!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for watching, Michael.

[@travisthayer7159]

Awesome! Love it

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for watching, Travis.

[@catfishcowboy7333]

You talked me in to it. 😂

[@DetroitFishigan]

That's fucking awesome Nick 🤝🏼. Man you guy's keep getting better at what you come up with 💯🍻. Until the next best thing ✌🏽 Buddy.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Just simple solutions! Thanks for always being supportive and watching the videos.

[@svibrstv8885]

I’ll be getting 4! I normally just leave it undone! Thanks

[@eddielikesfishing]

Looks like I need one of those knobs. How about a prop made from that flexible material? Would it have too much flex to work efficiently?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

In my opinion it would have way to much flex.

[@TUFFBASS]

is there a way to make this tighter without using the screws on the bottom? Mine keeps popping up just from me pedaling, resulting in water to come through. maybe it is the bolt? thanks!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It was nice talking to you on the phone yesterday. Let me know if that resolves the issue.

[@Fishin-mission1]

Thats a huge difference. I'm gonna have to order one. Mine leaks water everywhere lol

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Which kayak is it and how far forward or backwards do you have the seat adjusted?

[@Fishin-mission1]

@@NavarreKayakFishingit's the 120 pdl. I usually lock the seat in with 4 holes remaining to include the hole with a screw in it.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Is your drive centered?

[@Fishin-mission1]

@@NavarreKayakFishing yes I check it every time. It's done it since it was brand new day one.

[@Fishin-mission1]

@@NavarreKayakFishing im not talking about your part..... im talking about the stock stuff. I need to order one of yours just to clarify

[@mattrussell4473]

When are you going to show the anchor wizard install? super interested..

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Finishing up a riser for it now. So it works with and without seat risers installed.

[@mattrussell4473]

@@NavarreKayakFishing awesome! I have the 120 PDL with your risers too so looking forward to it!

[@the_forgotten_angler]

Sell them with a spare bolt....just in case you gomer it and drop it through the drive hole. Great idea.

[@JJ-pg4ud]

Any suggestion on buying a replacement bolt? Thanks.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

You’re going to have to give Old Town a call.

[@nathantaylor9896]

Hey mine pops up a bit just from pedaling and the drive begins to wiggle side to side not a hide deal but a little annoying am I doing something wrong?I’m on a big water I have tightened the bolt on the mount

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Shoot me an email and we will get a new one in the mail. It shouldn’t do that.

[@halflife352011]

So i took off original and there were like 10 spacing washers, do i leave those off?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Ten? Usually there’s one. Email me a photo.

[@jelly_fishing]

Hi Nick wanted to find out if I need to purchase the upgraded version or I’m good with the version purchased ??

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

You do not. The difference is about 1mm on the inside girl for the bolt. If you ever have an issue I’ll send out a new one.

[@jelly_fishing]

@@NavarreKayakFishing thank you

[@faithandfishinghawaii]

Are they all black? Really appreciate your products

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

They are currently only available in black.

[@swimjigjake3567]

What if your prop assembly hits at some weird angle or you hit super hard? I'd be concerned about there being too much force being pushed into that bolt in a sideways angle/fashion damaging the plastic of the kayak that encases the threaded insert?

[@MrJump12k]

I can't find the V on the website store...Do you still sell them?

@@NavarreKayakFishing Thanks man!!!…. Love your products… Have bought a bunch over the last week or so…. Got any bigger stickers?!…Want to put on my kayak!

[@bradblake6977]

Do the screws on the bottom of the knob scratch up your kayak

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

It may scratch the kayak a bit and in my experience the plastic knob from the factory will also scratch the kayak.
