The sit-on-top Mariner features an open rear deck that is great for a small passenger or gear for a day on the water. The unique low rear deck design coupled with unrivaled stability means that climbing back in after a swim or snorkel is almost effortless. The Propel pedal drive enables you to enjoy the Mariner's maneuverability and comfort all day.
MULTISPORT PROPEL PEDAL DRIVE SYSTEM:
The Propel Pedal Drive System is a revolutionary propulsion system with remarkable features but is also astonishingly easy to use.
Enjoy total boat control with forward and reverse capabilities.
The 1:10 drive ratio converts each pedal crank into ten revolutions of the prop.
You will go far with less fatigue as the sleek hydrodynamic design allows efficient propulsion with minimal drag.
Your body position mimics a recumbent bike
With easy adjustments you can set back and thigh support for a custom fit and even more comfort.
The internal drive unit is completely sealed against sand, grit, and mud so it is virtually maintenance free.
The drive unit’s housing is marine grade anodized aluminum so it is light, tough and rust proof.
Stainless steel components protect the system from salt water damage.
The system uses a simple pivot system to be lowered or lifted out of the water easily.
It secures easily with a pin once in place and a tough nylon flow plate prevents backwash from entering the boat.
FIRST CLASS SEATING:
The removable First Class™ Seat makes an excellent "beach seat." Also, remove it for unloading or loading to make the boat 7 pounds lighter!
The most comfortable, versatile kayak seat on the market!
This unique seating system supports you for hours of paddling, fishing, or simply soaking up the sun. You can remove them quickly to load your boat easily. Adjust the seat back and bottom to give you more support during a hard paddle or recline it a bit and relax while you wait for a fish to take the bait. Given the comfort and adjustability of its suspended seat design, it may also become your favorite beach or campground chair!
The seat cushions are made from HiFlow™ 3-D Mesh (patented), which is 100% recyclable and requires zero ozone-depleting cfc's (chlorofluorocarbons) in its production.
Textilene® solar screen fabric is designed to withstand seven (7) years of daily sun exposure before it begins to break down. The light-colored fabric stays much cooler than traditional black seats or compression molded seats. The strong but light anodized pewter seat frame also stays touchably cool in the sun.
It weighs only seven pounds, less than most sit inside kayak seats and it can be removed easily to lighten your kayak when loading or unloading.
HULL CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS:
Rotomolded Superlinear Polyethylene
Superlinear resin used in rotomolded, hybrid and MultiSport™ kayaks is chemically engineered for stiffness and both impact and abrasion resistance so you can rely on your boat's structural integrity throughout its usable life. While tough, these kayaks are not indestructible but some minor damages can be repaired. Superlinear boats will endure exposure to ultraviolet light and temperature variation so you can store them outdoors with confidence. For tricks about cleaning and storing your rotomolded kayak be sure to consult your Owner's Manual.
TUNNEL HULL™:
Boats featuring the Native Watercraft signature Tunnel Hull™ (patent pending) are extraordinarily stable for a single hull boat. It creates a boat-wide platform that minimizes rocking when you redistribute weight, and allows you to stand for long periods for scouting, poling or sight fishing, with confidence.
With your feet positioned in a unique, lower position relative to your hips (in most other kayaks, your feet are at the same level), you experience the most comfortable seating position available in today’s kayaks.
Bow and stern symmetry help the hull track well in the water and allow you to change direction instantly.
PLUG-AND-PLAY™ ACCESSORY SYSTEM:
The Plug-and-Play™ accessory system adds an exceptional level of flexibility to Magic kayaks. Not only does it make rigging your kayak easier and more boundless than other sit-on-top kayaks because of the interchangeability of, what would normally be, permanently affixed accessories but it also allows you to adjust the position of your First Class™ Seat or Easy Foot™ Footbraces for your comfort.
Integral channels are molded into the side of each boat and allow anodized aluminum bars to plug in securely. Specially designed accessories can be plugged directly into the boat, while general accessories can be fastened to mounting bars that are plugged in.
EASY FOOT™ FOOTBRACES:
Your Native Watercraft boat features the Easy Foot™ System. This system provides excellent adjustability from your seated position, and employs large footpads to reduce the back and leg effort required to maintain contact and control while you paddle.
Adjustable foot braces allow you to reposition your foot pedals quickly and easily while onshore or underway.
To adjust the Easy Foot™ footbrace:
• Unweight the pads.
• Pull or push the adjustment bar until the footpad is in the desired position
• When you feel the footpad click into place on the track, let go of the adjustment bar.
