Native Watercraft X-Range Pedal Drive Upgrade Kit for the Forge 12

Stows low, deploys in seconds
Native's most intuitive pedal drive folds out of the way when you don't need it and deploys in seconds when you do. The low-profile drive folds flat onto the deck for a clean, open cockpit, then locks in with a one-handed twist-lock and auto-aligning latch — no wrestling, no guesswork.
- Folds flat onto the deck for a clean, open cockpit
- One-handed twist-lock with auto-aligning latch
- Hands-free reverse to back off a snag or hold your spot

Your handle, your spot (included)
The kit adds Native's new hand-controlled rudder steering system, built around you. Mount the handle on the left or right, high or low — wherever it feels right. Self-lubricating bushings plus stainless steel cables and housings borrowed from the bike industry keep every turn smooth and responsive.
- Mount the handle left or right, high or low
- Stainless cables & housings with self-lubricating bushings
- Easy-adjust cable housing to take up or add slack on the water

Tough, travel-ready, weed-proof
A built-in weed cutter lets you push through vegetation without stopping to clear the prop, and a quick-release design makes loading and transport simple. Heavy-duty materials are backed by Native's warranty.

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
