Manuals & Guides
FAQ
What is the PDL Drive and how does it work?
The PDL Drive is Old Town's award-winning pedal propulsion system. It uses foot pedals connected to underwater fins that propel the kayak forward or backward, leaving both hands completely free for fishing. It features an easy-docking system for simple removal and reinstallation, and is backed by an industry-leading 5-year warranty.
Can I stand up and fish in the Topwater 120 PDL?
Yes - the Topwater 120 PDL is specifically designed for stand-up fishing. The DoubleU hull provides exceptional pontoon-style stability, and the EVA foam deck pads give you sure-footed traction for comfortable all-day standing.
Does the Topwater 120 PDL come with a fish finder?
A fish finder is not included, but the kayak features a revolutionary universal transducer mounting system that makes it easy to install your preferred fish finder brand and model without drilling or complex rigging.
How does the Topwater 120 PDL ship, and will it arrive assembled?
Due to its size (12 feet long, 116 lb assembled weight), this kayak typically ships via freight carrier on a pallet. Please email us at service@omahasportsandgames.com for specific delivery details and an ETA. The kayak arrives largely assembled - you will need to attach the seat and PDL Drive console before use.
What is the weight limit for the Topwater 120 PDL?
The Topwater 120 PDL has a total weight capacity of 500 lb, which includes the assembled boat and everything in it. The usable weight capacity - meaning the weight available for you, your gear, and pets - is 384 lb after accounting for the weight of the boat itself.
Is the Topwater 120 PDL suitable for fishing and hunting?
Yes, Old Town rates the Topwater 120 PDL for both fishing and hunting activities. The First Light colorway is well-suited for blending into natural environments, and the stable hull and quiet pontoon-style design allow you to sneak up on fish or wildlife without spooking them.
