Native Watercraft TitanX Propel 10.5

Native Watercraft TitanX Propel 10.5: a fishing platform for electronics and a motor

Native Watercraft TitanX Propel 10.5 is a kayak from the award-winning TitanX series, built for anglers who put stability, electronics and a motor first. The 325 cm long, 97 cm wide hull lets you stand up calmly and cast, and two battery compartments and PowerLink connectors throughout the kayak let you install a fish finder, GPS, a motor and other electronics without cable clutter.

The TitanX 10.5 has all the features of the bigger TitanX 12.5 but is shorter and more manoeuvrable. It turns more easily in narrow streams, among reeds or on a small lake, and it matches its bigger brother for stability.

TitanX Propel 10.5 design

Stability you can stand on
The 97 cm wide hull is one of the most stable pedal kayaks on the market. You can stand up, cast, land a fish and not worry about balance. A non-slip deck surface and integrated rod rests make standing work easier, and internal rod tip storage protects the rods while you travel.

A PivotPro seat for long days
The seat swivels 360 degrees without locking, so you can easily reach any spot on the kayak and fish at any angle. You change position to pedal or reach gear, and the drawer under the seat keeps your most-used lures at hand.

Electronics and motor
Two battery compartments, at the front and rear, and the PowerLink connectors and access holes are laid out so you can quickly install cables, switches and charging sockets. At the front there are inserts for a motor plate, and at the rear a motor mount. The motor can be controlled with your feet using the Native steering kit.

Propel pedal drive

Propel is a pedal drive with a propeller developed by Native. Pedalling forward moves the kayak forward, and pedalling backward instantly reverses it, with no switching. This is very handy while fishing: you can back away from a snagged lure, hold in a current or move closer to a fish while your hands stay free for the rod.

The drive slots into a well in the middle of the kayak and is easy to remove. With the drive removed, the kayak is easier to carry and transport, and in the shallows or before stepping onto the shore you can pull it up so the propeller doesn't touch the bottom. After paddling at sea, rinsing the drive with fresh water is recommended.

Weight and capacity

The hull weighs 52.2 kg, and 67.6 kg complete with the drive and seat. Capacity is 215 kg. It's a heavy kayak, so a trailer or the Sidekick wheel system, which the kayak is already prepared for, is recommended for transport. In return you get stability and room for all your gear.

Who is the TitanX Propel 10.5 for?

For anglers who want a maximally equipped kayak with a fish finder, motor and anchor but paddle in smaller waters or tighter spots. Also good for those who need to stand while fishing, for example when casting a spinning rod or fishing with an FFS fish finder.

How does it differ from the TitanX Propel 12.5? The TitanX 10.5 is 61 cm shorter and 10 kg lighter, so it is more manoeuvrable and easier to transport. The TitanX 12.5 is faster, holds its course more truly and carries a little more. The equipment, seat, drive and electronics options are the same on both models.
