The ETA listed on the product page indicates the estimated time frame that the item will start its shipping process from our warehouse. Once the shipping process has begun, typically orders take 4-8 business days to arrive at the customer. (Delivery time may vary based on location)

Damage Free Guarantee

Here at Eco Fishing Shop we partner with the top of the line freight carriers in the country to ensure that your kayaks arrive fast and safely. 

We have secured a new partnership with a white glove delivery service that will ensure ZERO Damaged Kayaks. You will no longer be required to sign and inspect your kayak. But do not worry, this carrier has a 99.97% damage-free rate and they have assured us of this. In the rare occasion damage has been detected, Eco Fishing Shop will take care of the replacement as long as the damage is reported within 2 hours of delivery and pictures of the damage are submitted via email. If the damage is cosmetic and/or able to be repaired, such as dents or scratches, EFS will provide a repair kit. If you choose to replace a kayak with minor cosmetic damage instead, then you will be charged a 20% restocking fee.  

The Eco Fishing Shop definition of damage is when the kayak is delivered in a condition that compromises the hull and is confirmed with the vendor that would void the warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL

Who is the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL best suited to?

The Old Town Topwater 106 PDL suits anglers who want pedal propulsion in a compact hull for creeks, ponds and small lakes.

It is 10 ft 6 in long, 36 in wide and 105 lb assembled, with Element Air Seating and a rudder, and it carries 345 lb.

Shorter kayaks can be useful on tighter water, though conditions, hull design, load and experience all affect how one performs.

How much weight can the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL carry?

The Old Town Topwater 106 PDL is rated at 450 lb total and 345 lb usable.

Usable capacity is the total minus the 105 lb assembled boat, which already includes the 18 lb pedal console and the 5 lb seat, so do not subtract them again.

Adding the drive costs 20 lb of usable load compared with the paddle-only Topwater 106, which carries 365 lb.

How does the PDL Drive on the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL work?

The Old Town Topwater 106 PDL is powered by the PDL Drive, a propeller unit turned by your legs with instant forward and reverse.

There is nothing to shift and nothing to charge, and the 18 lb console lifts out of the hull by hand.

An ePDL+ RetroFit is available for this model. It adds power assist on its own 36V 6.5Ah battery with its own published runtimes, which are shorter than the figures quoted for the factory ePDL+ kayaks and should never be read across. Our pedal-drive comparison guide compares the systems.

Can the drive be removed from the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL for shallow water?

Yes, the 18 lb pedal console on the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL lifts out of its well, which is how you cross shallows, weed and the last few yards to the bank.

No minimum operating depth is published for this model, so we will not state a figure. Pull the drive before the propeller can strike bottom.

Clear the prop of line and weed before you drop the drive back in.

Can the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL be paddled as well as pedaled?

Yes, and a paddle should be aboard the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL every time you launch.

It is what gets you across shallow ground and out of weed with the drive raised, and it is the backup if the propeller fouls.

No paddle or life jacket is supplied with the kayak. Match a kayak paddle to the 36 in beam and your height.

Can the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL be used in saltwater?

Yes, the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL can be fished in saltwater, and its PDL Drive is a saltwater-ready design.

Rinse the hull, the drive, the rudder and the propeller with fresh water at the end of every salt trip, working the drive through its range as you rinse.

Let it dry before storage rather than putting it away wet.

How is the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL transported and stored?

Take the 18 lb pedal console and the 5 lb seat out of the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL before you move it, leaving a hull of about 82 lb from 105 lb assembled.

Roof capability is decided by the lowest of your vehicle roof rating, crossbar rating and rack rating rather than by the boat weight.

A cart makes the walk from car to water far easier. Store the hull shaded and evenly supported.

What warranty applies to the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL?

Coverage on the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL is split by component and no single period covers everything.

The hull and deck carry limited lifetime coverage for the original retail purchaser. The PDL Drive is covered for five years. Accessories such as paddles and life jackets are covered for one year, and the Element Air seat is treated as a component rather than as hull.

Coverage is to the original retail purchaser and is not transferable. Keep proof of purchase and the hull serial number together.

Claims begin with Old Town or the applicable component manufacturer, under the Old Town warranty terms.

How should the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL be looked after?

Rinse the Old Town Topwater 106 PDL and its drive after every trip and check the propeller for line and weed while the boat is still wet.

Rinse the rudder and its cables as well, since they are easy to overlook alongside the drive.

Store the hull shaded and supported evenly rather than on one hard point.
