Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Can I stand up and fish from the Topwater 120?
Yes - the Topwater 120 is specifically designed for stand-up fishing. The DoubleU Hull's pontoon-style design provides exceptional stability, and the EVA foam traction deck gives you sure footing even in wet conditions. Many anglers report it as one of the most stable stand-up platforms in its size class.
What fish finder or transducer systems are compatible?
The Topwater 120 features a universal transducer mounting system designed to work with a wide variety of popular fish finders. This system is built to make installation quick and tool-free, though specific compatibility will depend on your fish finder brand. Contact us or Old Town directly if you have questions about a specific unit.
Is a rudder included, and do I need one?
A rudder is not included but the Topwater 120 is rudder-compatible. A rudder helps with tracking and steering, especially in wind or current. For most calm-water fishing scenarios it is not necessary, but anglers who frequently paddle in open water or windy conditions may find it a worthwhile upgrade.
How difficult is it to transport the Topwater 120?
At 82 lb, the Topwater 120 is manageable with a kayak cart or a second person. Its 12-foot length makes it easy to fit on most roof racks or truck beds. Old Town designed the hull to be compact for its performance class, making it one of the easier full-featured fishing kayaks to load and transport.
What is the weight limit for the Topwater 120?
The Topwater 120 has a total weight capacity of 500 lb. The usable weight capacity - accounting for the weight of the assembled boat - is 418 lb, meaning you have 418 lb for yourself, your gear, tackle, and anything else you bring on board.
Is this kayak suitable for saltwater fishing?
Yes, the Topwater 120 is suitable for saltwater use. The single layer polyethylene hull is corrosion-resistant, and the kayak is built for both freshwater and coastal saltwater environments. As with any kayak used in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after each use to maintain hardware and fittings.
