Thanks, just what I need. my pedals started knocking after 5 years of use and no maintenance other than rinsing after fishing a salty bay (Baffin bay, Tx). My kayak is half old town, half Navarre Kayak Fishkng!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

Five years is a pretty good stretch. Hopefully the new set solves the problem. That noise can be terribly annoying.

[@jayweitekamp]

Just be aware that if you buy this lower pinion unit it will make a grinding noise/feel when you install it. Reason being is the new pinion gear that is driven/turned by the vertical shaft pinion is married to the old gear. I recieved a lower unit about 6 months ago from OT before they offered this and spent some considerable amount of time troubleshooting this grinding noise/feel. Once I removed the pinion from the old unit and put it on the new lower unit all was good.

I imagine that’s going to be a case by case scenario. Great for people to hear about though.

[@xRamZx]

Would you recommend replacing the lower if you've owned your pdl for 3+ years in saltwater even without issue? Just curious, thanx!

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

If you haven’t had any issues I wouldn’t touch it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it…

[@xRamZx]

@@NavarreKayakFishing amen to that!

[@backontheyak]

The old saying is if it's not broke don't fix it. Do a good mainteance on it. Clean it will use a neutralizer to help with the salt a corrosion spray or grease help extremely well. I love Nick's products but it can become costly. When it needs to be fix then fix it if not don't. Past experiences on things when you crack something open even when your careful problems happen after.

Any recommendations on what to do with failing powder coating on the lower drive? I contacted Old Town and they told me it was a cosmetic issue and not covered under warranty. The salt corrosion is bad though and its obviously only going to get worse. I hose it off after, but doing that didn’t save the original powder coat so I'm not sure how much help that will be.

[@backontheyak]

I have a buddy of mine going through the samething. Best advice is to use an anticorrosion spray and or grease. Get a small marine grade paint and repaint the areas that need to be repainted. Mainly the corrosion spray or grease will help with that and you may need to reapply it after every rinse or few rinses. Also a neutralizer helps with salt. Between a neutralizer spray, a good rinse with some soap and water, corrosion spray/grease and marine paint you will be just fine. Plus ask the local boat shop or where you purchase your kayak from I would imagine that they would know as well. Hope this helps. Let me know how it turned out

[@NavarreKayakFishing]

That’s a great answer.
