Tandem kayaking made easier with the Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T. Designed based on our legendary Malibu models, the Malibu Pedal T is a spacious and comfortable tandem pedal kayak equipped with two forward-and-reverse pedal drives. Capable of navigating a variety of waterbodies, both passengers can pedal without worrying about being in-sync while the rear passenger easily steers the craft using an intuitive rudder control situated beside the stern passenger seat.
Featuring breathable and adjustable framed seats, keeping you high and dry and comfortable for hours on the water. Equipped with cupholders, accessory tracks, rod holders, and ample gear storage, the Malibu Pedal T is ready for any outing for years to come.
Who is the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T best suited to?
The Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T suits two people who want pedal propulsion each rather than one pedaling while the other paddles.
It is 13 ft 6 in long, 36 in wide and 154 lb assembled, with two independent drives and two seats, and it carries 413 lb of people and gear.
Our pedal-drive comparison guide sets out how the PDL Drive compares with other pedal systems.
How much weight can the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T carry?
The Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T is rated at 567 lb total and 413 lb usable.
Usable capacity is what is left for two paddlers, gear and a dog once the 154 lb assembled boat is deducted. The assembled figure already includes both 20 lb drives and both seats, so do not deduct them again.
Two adults and a full day’s tackle sit comfortably inside 413 lb, but check your own combined weight first.
How many seats and drives come with the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T?
The Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T comes with two Element Beach Seats and two PDL Drives, one for each position.
Each drive weighs 20 lb and each seat 6 lb, and all four items lift out for transport. Four flush-mount rod holders and a rudder with a cockpit control knob are also fitted as standard.
Paddles and life jackets are not included and are needed for both people.
Can one person use the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T alone?
Yes, one person can pedal the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T solo by using the rear position, which trims the hull better than sitting forward when the other seat is empty.
You are still moving a 13 ft 6 in, 154 lb tandem, so expect it to feel heavier in wind than a solo pedal kayak.
The unused drive can be left in place or lifted out to save weight.
How do the pedal drives on the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T work?
Both drives on the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T are PDL Drives, propeller units turned by leg power with instant forward and reverse.
Pedal backwards and that drive reverses, with no shifting involved. Each position controls its own drive independently.
The drives are mechanical, so nothing needs charging. Both lift out of their wells for shallow water, weed and loading.
Do both people have to pedal the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T at the same time?
No, the two drives on the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T are independent, so one person can pedal while the other rests, fishes or steers.
Pedaling together is faster and keeps the boat tracking straighter, because a single drive pushes slightly off the centerline.
Whoever is not pedaling should lift their drive if you are working through weed or shallow water.
Can the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T be used in saltwater?
Yes, the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T carries two saltwater-ready PDL Drives and can be used in salt as well as fresh water.
Rinse the hull, both drives and both propellers with fresh water at the end of every salt trip, working each drive through its range while you rinse.
Let everything dry before storage, and check any hardware you have added for early corrosion.
How is the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T transported and stored?
Take both 20 lb drives and both 6 lb seats out of the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T first, which brings 154 lb assembled down to a 102 lb hull.
At 13 ft 6 in it is long as well as heavy, and roof capability is set by the lowest of your vehicle roof rating, crossbar rating and rack rating. A kayak cart rated for a tandem is worth having.
Store it shaded and evenly supported.
What warranty applies to the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T?
Coverage on the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T is split by component, and both drives are covered on the same terms.
The hull and deck carry limited lifetime coverage for the original retail purchaser. Each PDL Drive is covered for five years. Accessories such as paddles and life jackets are covered for one year. Coverage runs from the original purchase date and does not transfer to a second owner.
Warranty claims begin with Old Town or the applicable component manufacturer. Eco Fishing Shop can help identify the correct support path, but coverage decisions are made under the Old Town warranty terms.
How should the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T be looked after?
Hose the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal T and both drives after every trip, and check each propeller for line and weed before you put it away.
Two drives means twice the maintenance, and a fouled propeller on a tandem is easy to miss because the boat still moves on the other one.
Store the hull shaded and evenly supported along its length rather than on one hard point.
