Need More Power? Meet the Old Town Watercraft ePDL+ RetroFit Kit

Do you already have an Old Town PDL kayak and feel like you want some more power on the water? Well, Old Town Watercraft has the thing for you with the three new ePDL+ RetroFit Kits, compatible with specific models of Old Town PDL kayaks. Building upon the success and feedback from the first-of-its-kind ePDL+ drive technology, Old Town is now offering kits that work with eight different hulls to let anglers upgrade their existing kayaks. That way, kayak anglers can have greater range, less fatigue, and more efficient time use on the water with their Old Town kayaks.

Installation of the Old Town Watercraft ePDL+ RetroFit Kits is hassle-free and just drops in. Fitting directly into the existing pedal drive well, with no wiring needed. The drive comes with a built-in kill switch, intuitive controls, and a bright back-lit LCD screen. It has five selectable speed settings and still drives with the same smooth, pedal-driven control that Old Town anglers are familiar with. Each ePDL+ RetroFit Kit has an MSRP of $2499.99 and is available for preorder now.
