FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do I do if I experience prop vibration?
Props and shafts are not 100% symmetrical. Often times simply removing the
prop, rotating it 180 degrees, and reinstalling it will lessen or eliminate the
incidence of vibration. Inspect for damage and file off nicks.
How fast can the Predator XL go?
The maximum speed is 5.5 mph.
Why is the rudder on the Predator XL extra large?
The rudder is designed to optimize steering when the motor is in use. It
allows for precise positioning, a tight turning radius, responsive steering and
total hands-free control.
Can the Predator XL be paddled without the motor?
Yes, the Exo-Ridge Console designed for the Predator XL can be swapped out for
the Minn Kota console, providing a wide open deck and allowing you to paddle
the Predator XL with a traditional double-bladed kayak paddle.
