Old Town PDL Front Seat Risers (Shockingly Comfortable)

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I made a mistake at the beginning of the video - Richard originally wanted the risers to make room for the crate. The hamstring discussion was had with another customer who order them.

[@aarongreenlee7867]

Man, you never stop innovating. I dig it!! I will be placing an order for a bunch of stuff as soon as I can scrape the money together!

[@michaelski5264]

That’s bad ass man!! Thanks again for helping us enjoy our kayaks even more!!

[@timberwolf3781]

ya Nick ya should have thought about that.....:) Glad someone did and mine arrived today in Canada,,,, Finally! When the ice melts I will try them out

[@chrisstassi671]

Boom! Ordered already. Received my 1.5 inch rear seat risers last week. Can't wait to put these on!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks, Chris.

[@chrisstassi671]

Received mine today. Less than a 5 minute install. Can't wait to get on the water and check it out.

[@bobbyhogan9207]

Got mine in today…had to look up the video. Soooo happy with the order 👍 Received the floating nuts and wrench too 👊 Headed back to order the spacers 😉 Thanks man for some fantastic upgrades!!!!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for ordering!

[@the45er]

Just ordered a set of these for my Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL. I have ordered a bunch of stuff for my kayak from Navarre and have NEVER been disappointed! His innovations have definitely improved the performance and comfort of my boat.

[@the45er]

OK, the verdict is in. YES, these risers increase the efficiency of peddling my Sportsman 120!

[@BobBohner4851]

Super you are open to peoples ideas.

[@marklewis3436]

Thanks Nick, ordered mine and I love them and all your products!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks, Mark.

[@FishingwiththeOz]

I need this for my hamstring support and to stand easier. And the extra storage space is a bonus. You will see my order soon!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks!

[@DetroitFishigan]

Thanks for video on this nick. I seen them when i was ordering a few of your part/upgrades over the weekend. I now have more stuff to add to my list 🙂 before we have are thaw out here in Michigan. Keep up the great work Nick 🍻

[@yakin_n_bassin8203]

Ordering now... I have the rear risers and this would be perfect... and more storage clearance underneath ... genius

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

All of the credit goes to Richard!

[@richarddemello4648]

The risers work real well. My tackle box fits much better under the seat, but when you have to paddle its a bit different with the extra hight. My reach to the pedal drive does seem to be easier though.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for the feedback, Richard.

[@troutbum579]

Ha. You got me again. Just ordered a set of front and rear. Feel free to name the new wing of your home after me. All kidding aside, always great products and awesome customer service.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Ha! I have a hallway we can name “trout bum.” Lol

Made some last night, can’t wait to try them out

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I think you’ll like it!

[@txmexnittro]

Awesome, I can't wait to order some!!! So quick question, I'm assuming you used the 1.5in riser in the back? Have you tried the 2in riser in the back yet? I do know I want to go with the 1in in the front, but don't know if I should go with a 1.5in or 2in in the back??? Thanks

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

The majority of people raise the front 1”and the rear 2”. We ship out that combination all day long.

[@toddlester8063]

Great idea! Now I have to decide if the 1.5" or 2" risers in the back would be better.

[@rogerharris1561]

Post your thoughts on which size you like if you would please? I had the same thought.

[@toddlester8063]

@@rogerharris1561 I ended up going with the 2" risers in the back. Seems to be working great for me.

[@rogerharris1561]

Does that make the seat level or bring the rear higher?

[@dinizluis6490]

As usual....Great stuff Bro!!!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Thanks for watching! I would have never done it if it wasn’t for Richards email!!!

[@ILGNR2]

Would love to hear your thoughts after longer use of the front risers. Keep up the great work!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I will go over it again after using them for a while.

[@kennethbennett4791]

Great idea Nick. Will these work on my top water PDL 120?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Yes, sir.

[@kennethbennett4791]

@@NavarreKayakFishing outstanding. I’ll place an order tonight!

[@thomasdavis399]

Hey Nick, I have the one inch risers for the front and three inch on the back. The one inch risers on the front cause the seat to shuffle around even strapped down which in turn causes my back risers to shift and my seat falls down. I have the sportsman 120 pdl. Not sure if anyone had mentioned any issues to you but I could send you pics of what I’m talking about. I’m thinking the one inch is too high for the sportsman because the seat will shift in the little cradle that locks it down to the guides. I weigh 225 so not sure if it’s my weight but just figured I would let you know I’m having some issues.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Tommy, send me an email. [e-mail]

[@LindenRanch]

Sounds like a good idea to me. Just got my predator and haven't used it yet but higher up will be better.

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Let me know if you have any questions, Dennis.

[@jasonsmith5284]

Did you feel you needed to add more then a 1 inch in the back after adding the 2 inch in the front? Thanks brother and keep up the good work. Everything I have ordered from you has been Outstanding!!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I added 1” to the front (two 1/2” pieces per side). I would recommend raising the rear 1” higher then the front to reduce the reclined feeling. For me, I intend to raise the front 1” and the back 2”.

[@account2292]

I did 5 inches front, 4 back on my Pelican Catch. Bout $15 of PVC. Incredible improvement.

[@jonathanhardin6016]

Nick, love your products, i currently have your rear seat risers and transducer scupper mount on my 106 pdl, my question is, would you recommend changing out the rope style rudder lines and steering lines with like a coated wire type line to eliminate any stretch that may occur over time from use?? Thanks in advance

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I wouldn’t change out the lines. They work well and we’ve never had them fail.

[@chriscowen85]

I like your presentation in your videos. As a 65 year old owner of a Topwater 120 I think the seat risers make alot of sense. I'm ready to order but can't find the front track risers on the website. Thanks

Look up the seat riser it shows the back but it’s all under the same thing. Just choose your options you want.

[@hrios3016]

What was the squeeking in the begining? My bigwater did that this weekend while pedaling in reverse.

It’s more then likely your pedals. Here’s a video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIrQapWad8SqgdE

[@Kgoutdoor]

If I’m raising the back 2.5 am I good with 1” in the front or should I do two”

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

I’d raise the front 1” and the back 2”. If you raise the rear to high you’re going to feel like you’re being ejected.

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

I like it Nick. Did you find it changed your seating position forwards or backwards or did it stay the same? My list of things to buy is getting bigger and now that hunting season is almost over, I am ready to get back on the water. Think you can turn up the thermostat a little for me though?? :-) --Brent

Is 1 inch the hight u would reccomend raising the seat to help with knee and hip fatigue it kills me having my feet above or level with my hips

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

1” in the front and 2” in the rear is the most commonly purchased. I personally think it’s much easier to pedal with those two adjustments.

Now if you could only find a solution for the top bar of the backrest from digging into my back that would great 😂 idk y but it doesn’t line up well with shoulder blades, I had an ascend kayak from bass pro years ago and that seat was way more comfortable on the back

[@shaunhenderson2071]

Hey Nick! I went to your online shop and watched the video about the risers. I have a 2018 Predator PDL, so do you recommend rising the front and back an inch or raising the front a half inch and the back an inch?

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Shaun, I would raise the front 1” and the back 1.5-2”.
