Good to know
- It’s listed only for the Radar 115 and 135, so check your hull before ordering.
- Use the zero draft position when crossing shallow flats to keep the prop clear of the bottom.
KayakDIY take: A drive tuned to the hull it was built for usually feels better than any add-on. For more options, see my best pedal kayaks guide.
