New Old Town Sportsman PDL assembly steps unboxing

Your new Old Town Sportsman, Topwater, Bigwater, or Salty needs a few quick assembly steps before it's ready to go kayak fishing for the first time. The seat, PDL drive, rudder handle, and paddle holder need a bit of assembly when you take delivery of your new kayak. These steps are simple and I go through how to set up your new PDL kayak in just a few minutes. Unboxing the PDL 120.

Just wanted to echo another comment that this is the most concise video on the installation of these few parts that I could find. Most of the others were how to install fishfinders, etc. which I don"t need yet. Thanks very much!

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I have other videos on other modifications and fish finder installation. Like you said, this was meant to be just setting up the kayak for use after purchase/delivery. Glad it was useful to you.

Thank you for this. Only clear video i found on pdl install. Couldn't understand why it was clip locked and preventing me from dropping down

[@FishingwithNat]

I'm glad it was helpful!

So you adjust the seat to properly position yourself from the drive rather than adjust the drive pedals like in the Hobie? Makes sense!

[@FishingwithNat]

Yep, you got it. I am 5' 10" and I keep the peg in the 3rd hole from the front. There is a ton of room to move back for taller people.
