12′ Inflatable Kayak with Fin Pedal Drive FPK365.
Fin pedal drive offer efficient, lightweight and compact propulsion method as an alternative for paddling with kayak paddles. There are always more power and endurance in human legs than arms.
New, innovative Saturn FPK365 inflatable kayak can be used in a single or tandem configurations. Use kayak in a single configuration with a pedal drive. Fin pedal drive offers easy and powerful method of propulsion while using power of legs only. Any type of low or high beach chair can be mounted on top of that kayak with a help of 4 sets of double D-rings. Pedal drive offers greater speed than using kayak paddle, and excellent for workout, pleasure cruising or fishing. FPK365 inflatable kayak comes with pre installed rotomolded well for pedal drive. Pedal kayak can also be used without pedal drive, using regular kayak paddles instead. Pedal drive can stay inside kayak or can be removed.
With pedal drive removed, FPK365 kayak can also be used in a tandem configuration, while using kayak paddles only. In a tandem configuration 2 kayak seats or 2 beach chairs can be secured to set of 4 D-rings each, with 1 seat in front, and 2nd seat in rear. Front seat can be placed over rotomolded mount installed into kayak. Opening in a well can be easily plugged with short piece of foam swimming noodle, for example.
There are 2 steering options for inflatable pedal kayak. Easiest and simplest, is just to use kayak paddle to change direction of movement. Most of the time, you will be kayaking in a strait direction. Fins on a bottom of kayak help it with strait directional movement. Just few stroke of kayak paddle can easily adjust direction as needed, turn left or right, or reverse. Another easy option, is to hold one end of kayak paddle blade under left or right armpit, while letting other end of kayak paddle blade freely trail behind in a water, toward kayak rear, acting as a rudder. Slight adjustment of kayak paddle that way will easily correct kayak direction while pedaling.
For experienced users, looking for more advanced steering options, we also included FREE BONUS GIFT – kayak rudder that can be installed into a hole in rear end cone of kayak. Click on Attachments tab for installation ideas. To keep prices on this product affordable, we decided to leave it up to customers how to install and optimize use of that optional, free kayak rudder.

In addition, set of 4 D-rings were installed on top top of tubes for optional DIY electric motor mount installation. Click on Attachments tab for more information. Horizontal 8″ wide plywood board can be firmly secured with set of 2 tie downs running between D-rings on each tube. Vertical wooden motor plate can then be bolted to board, to the side of kayak, or through hole in kayak floor. Rotomolded well for pedal drive is removable, and can be taken out from deflated kayak. Use soapy mix water, or shampoo to make removal and installation of rotomolded well easier. Do not try to force rotomolded mount over dry surface, because it very tight fit inside cut out in a drop stitch floor.
