Just picked up my first fishing kayak ever — an Old Town Topwater 106 PDL for $1500. Seemed like a good deal to me!
It came with:
• 3D printed drive alignment spacers
• 2 floating prop nuts/Extra shear pins
• An extra prop
• Properly installed Boonedox landing gear
• A paddle. It sucks lmao but just for backup.
Took it out for the maiden voyage today and I’m thrilled.
I’m not super impressed with the seat currently. But it’s not terribly uncomfortable. I stayed out for about 4 hours today. Now I just need to get out more to get some experience and improve on some of my nuances. Super stoked to be part of the community.
Is there anything I should do maintenance wise? It had been sitting for a while. I noticed that the rudder is stiff when dropping it via lever. But I’m a pretty handy guy so what do you all recommend I do to properly maintenance it?
