Who is the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal best suited to?
The Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal suits paddlers who want hands-free pedal propulsion on a simple recreational sit-on-top rather than a heavily rigged fishing platform.
It measures 12 ft long and 34.5 in wide and weighs 105 lb assembled, with an Element Beach Seat that lifts out and doubles as a chair on shore.
Check the 250 lb usable capacity against your own weight plus gear first, because it is well below the 360 lb total figure.
How much weight can the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal carry?
The Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal carries 360 lb total and 250 lb usable.
Usable capacity is what is left for people, gear and pets after the boat itself, so 250 lb is the number to plan against. Total capacity includes the assembled kayak and is not a loading figure.
Loading close to the limit sits the hull deeper and changes how it handles, so leave margin for wind, chop and anything you add later.
How does the PDL Drive on the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal work?
The Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal uses the PDL Drive, a propeller unit turned by your legs with instant forward and reverse.
Pedal backwards and the boat backs up. There is no gear shift and no delay, which matters when you are backing off a snag or holding a line along a bank.
The drive is entirely mechanical. Nothing needs charging and nothing can run flat.
Can the drive be removed from the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal for shallow water?
Yes, the 20 lb pedal console on the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal lifts out of its well, which is how you handle shallows, weed and loading.
No minimum operating depth is published for this model, so we will not state one. Judge it on the water and pull the drive before the propeller can touch bottom.
Clear the propeller of line and weed at the end of the day.
Can the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal be paddled as well as pedaled?
Yes, and a paddle belongs aboard the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal on every trip.
Shallows, timber and weed are exactly where the drive comes up and the paddle goes to work, and it is your backup if the propeller fouls.
No paddle is supplied with the kayak, and no life jacket either. Tell us your height and we can match a kayak paddle length to the 34.5 in beam.
Can the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal be used in saltwater?
Yes, the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal can be used in saltwater, and its PDL Drive is a saltwater-ready design.
Care decides how the hardware lasts. Rinse the hull and the drive with fresh water at the end of every salt trip, working the drive through its range while you rinse.
Rinse before the salt dries on the fittings, then let the drive dry fully before storage.
How is the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal transported and stored?
Strip the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal before moving it: the 20 lb pedal console and the 6 lb seat both lift out. The hull weight is 80 lb and the assembled weight is 105 lb.
Whether roof transport works is decided by the lowest of your vehicle roof rating, crossbar rating and rack rating, so confirm all three. A kayak cart or a trailer removes the lift entirely.
Store it shaded and evenly supported.
What warranty applies to the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal?
Coverage on the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal is split by component, and the periods differ.
The hull and deck carry limited lifetime coverage for the original retail purchaser. The 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 is not transferable 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 be looked after?
Rinse the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu Pedal and its PDL Drive after every trip, and inspect the propeller, drive shaft and metal fittings, especially after saltwater exposure.
Clear any line or weed from the propeller before the drive goes back into its well.
Store the hull shaded and evenly supported on padded bars or on its side. Sunlight ages polyethylene, and a hull left on one hard point can take the shape of that point.
