There's nothing like the view from the water. It's not a bad gig, designing and building kayaks, hybrids and accessories that get people out in the natural world.
As busy and crowded as the world seems, there are still tranquil places to explore, wildlife to encounter, moments to photograph, fish to stalk, catch and release. These places often exist in our own back yards. And there's no better way to discover them than in a Native Watercraft.

I’d honestly might give you the pa 12 for this
How much weight can these handle?
Great question - It can hold up to 50lbs of added weight to the kayak. So the kayak plus 50 pounds of gear. Hope this helps!
Damn, the more I see the “regular” Titan 10.5 I. I slightly doubt my purchase of my Slayer Max 12.5. 😔Having said that I am in absolute love with my kayak at the same time!😍
Why did they discontinue this model ? Is it worth buying 2nd hand ?
isnthis the same as the max 10
Seats look like they will slide all over why not a rail that they can slide up and down in. Cheeping out
So it’s frustrating that these only for 2022 or newer models as I have the 2021 liberty edition of the 12.5 max. I need a replacement seat…
Need more info! This going to be available for all Slayer Max 12.5 models? I have a 2020 I think.
I need one I want one 😅 when it’s going to be available? Does anyone know. Thx
Will that work on an Ultimate FX15? If not what will work?
Is that seat loud like the other seats? I had to tape mine up on my Slayer Max 10.
Can it be used on a slayer propel 10
The title and the content both mentioned "MAX" 🙂
Can this be used on a 2021 model by chance?
They say 2022 or newer only which is a bum deal. I have a 2021 as well
Can we have one for the regular titan please!!! 😊
No drawer ?
Can’t wait to see y’all at iCAST this year
you need to do a video with the wizard and a kayak build
You can't trade Mark "banana peel" we've been using it for years in the trades. Also if you do this kind of thing you might wanna pick up a couple "fish sticks" for pulling cable.
Can you put the Xi3 on a TitanX 10.5 and still use the pedal drive while the motor is in the up position? I know that some of the other 10ft Natives you cannot because there is not enough room between the pedal and and the motor head when it is up.
Wonder if you can do a custom color Titan x for the right price
Graet yaks, have pices of plastic for fix with welding??
We do sell welding rods on our website here: nativewatercraft.com/products/welding-rods-pack-of-6?_pos=1&_psq=weldin&_ss=e&_v=1.0
in the next generation, it would be cool to have a built-in fish tank! Perfect for tournament !
Live well?
But, kayak tournaments are CPR.. or cvr? No need livewell... 🤔..
Great installation video guys. Native Watercraft and NewPort Vessels. The best of both worlds!
Terrible
No breaker?
The digital motor controller on the NK motors have built in circuit protection. This protects the motors from overcurrent and overheating conditions as well ad others as described in the instruction manual in the troubleshooting section.
Timely video. I'm looking to add the NK300 to my wife's Titan X 10.5. Are you going to do a video installing foot controls?
Hey Steven, thanks so much for reaching out! Here is a video for installing the foot controlled steering on the TitanX: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoFs25idkbHdkaw.html
The Wizard in NC love to see it
Some one on here help me with seat issues. I've broken some straps and they're threaded into fabric so id like to replace seat but I've got an older model like this. Any options aside from me start tearing shit apart
Hey Tyler, please send an email to [email protected] for assistance. Thank you!
With all the money that is invested in this, you might as well get a skiff
I ended up filling it with marine gear oil i know its not recommended. Had it since 2018 and no leaks or problems . Do about 100+ miles a year on it but i would like to get the weedless upgrade for it someday. great yak .
25-28 mm or what, for the hook/spanner wrench?
Would you be able to email us an image of what you are seeing with a picture so we can review? [email protected]
@@NativeWatercraftupdate: just found out that the hook/spanner wrench I ordered and received was the wrong size.
Do you have any retailers for some Native watercraft merch in Australia?
If you know can you help me
Hi brother so I ask you something I have one native kayak fishing but I don't know how to connect the fish finder
What's the highest thrust trolling motor you can put up front? I saw these at Icast last year and I want one to be my next yak.
Great question! We do not recommend anything larger than 55LB thrust. So 55LB thrust and below should be good to go.
I have been so happy with my Slayer Max 12.5 that the only other Kayak I would own would be the Titan X. The Slayer Max comes ready to fish. I tournament fish out of my Slayer Max at least once every 4 to 5 weeks and it has worked flawlessly. Thanks, Native, for such a great product!!!!
Glad you are loving your Slayer Max!
Yes this was very helpful, I feel pretty confident I could fully disassemble the entire thing and re-assemble it now. Yesterday I had to use a 3 foot pipe on my spanner wrench to get it to even budge and I had to continue to use the pipe while removing the side cap until I got it almost out (1.5 rotations). It had some white crusty gunk on it that made the removal process very challenging. I had to use so much pressure that the cap its self now has slightly elongated wrench holes. I believe it is still usable but nearly impossible to remove. In hindsight I had thought about using heat and probably should have but was a little concerned about how that would effect the rubber gasket ring. I'm a pretty mechanical guy so this stuff doesn't intimidate me but not a lot of people would use a 3 or 4 foot pipe and practically jump on it to remove a cap. Not sure what you were using to keep them from loosening up but it seems overkill in hindsight, lol.
does the bow mounted motor make the nose of the kayak heavy?
The bow mounted motor makes the nose of the kayak heavier but this was accounted for in the design process as we expected a motor to be mounted here. We added additional buoyancy to the hull up at the bow so the TitanX would still perform well with the motor. I hope this helps!
These videos are great. I’m a Master Mechanic by trade and these videos are the most informative and simplest repair videos I have seen.
Just bought the titan x 12.5. Debating on taking it back. Dam near Everything you need is sold out for it
Can relate to everything she said
Why the mineral oil?
The mineral oil is used to lube the lower fairing O-ring prior to installation. The O-ring comes in the kit dry. If you don't have mineral oil, you can use any oil that would be safe and not break down the rubber ring.
@@NativeWatercraft can i use same finish line grease on o-ring?
@@Fiskeberoende We do not recommend finish line grease on the O-rings or the seals. We have found the mineral oil works best.
Hello. I’m a lubrication specialist and a millwright for US steel. So I know gears and lube. So there’s absolutely nothing special about finish line grease. Literally any good marine or white lithium grease is fine. No water get in the drive anyway. But there’s tons of good options at your local stores. We pay a lot for these kayaks and I think it’s poor service just because you have some deal with finish line or something you would actually void our warranty for not using it is just horrible.
Thank you for your observations and comments. Finish Line is a grease we found works on our gears, so we apply this particular grease to our gears during assembly. In an effort to keep maintenance simple, we are recommending that customers use the same grease. Our understanding is that it can be a mistake to mix greases on the gear because it can lead to a breakdown of the gear surface. To change the grease brand would mean that customers would have to completely remove the original grease off of the gears prior to applying a new brand. We do offer Finish Line grease on our website as a convenience for our customers since we recommend use of this product. This is simply an effort to keep maintenance requirements clear and simple.
incredible. Thank you so much! My cartridge just failed after 7 years of hard use. Curious, what drive unit does a 2017 SP10 have?
You would likely have the 501 series Propel Drive. The 501 series is addressed in the video as well. Two differences while working with the 501: you would use two bearings when replacing the lower or upper fairing gears. Also, in the 501 there is a damper/plastic gasket between the fin and the fairing. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!
@@NativeWatercraft Thanks so much! purchased the lower transmission cartridge and shes good as new.
Bring the Titan 13.5 back.
Do you have a video installing the Xi3 on the 10.5 yet? Saw the 12.5 example but the location of the power panel is on the hatch on the 10.5 The through hull on the release cable cant really be mounted in the same spot as the 12.5. do you recommend mounting it next to the hatch hindge?
Yes, that is what we would recommend. The Mounting location would be to the left of the hinge on the hatch. The Reason why we mount on the left side is because the release mechanism for the xi3 pedal is also located on that side.
Great video!! Thank you!!
Great instructional video and I enjoy watching and learning but, is this changing of the gears to replace damaged/broken gears or is this to change gears for a higher or lower gear ratio??
Thank you for your question! This is for replacing damaged/broken gears.
just bought a native slayer max 12.5 after watching greg for 6 months.
👍👍👍 Great Series!
