Overview

The time has come for true innovation in motion with the new Helix PD Pedal Drive. Featuring a 6:1 gear ratio precision-tuned to a 14 x 17 two-bladed fixed pitch prop, the Helix PD is the most efficient and intuitive pedal system ever engineered. Fully deployed, the system is optimized for maximum speed in exchange for less effort so you can be hands-free to fish all day. A groundbreaking auto-raising mast achieves zero draft with a spring-loaded kick pedal, and the unit can be further stowed forward and out of the way to complete the 3-phases of possible positioning. Tuned to the proven performance of Wilderness Systems' S.M.A.R.T. Hull designs, and currently compatible with the new Radar model family, the Helix PD Pedal Drive is the definitive advantage. The Helix PD comes complete with hand-control steering knob. Rudder Kit not included.


  • Precision-tuned to a 14 x 17 two-bladed fixed pitch prop
  • Compatible with the Wilderness Systems Radar series
  • Intuitive spring-loaded auto-raising mast with kick pedal activation
  • 3 positions: fully deployed, zero draft, and fully stowed
  • Hand control included

I bought the pedal drive recently, I have used it couple of times with my Radar 135 Kayak, and I love it, I do pedal the whole day effortless, even when wind is against the direction I'm going, its great, hands free for fishing. Easy to install and remove. Also the Rudder Steering control is very convenience. As somebody mentioned on other review, to raise/lower the rudder was not as expected, I found both cords need to be manipulated, I mean, one pull/other release at the same time accordingly.

I've used mine twice now. The pedal unit was really easy to install. Good instructions included, but I found YouTube installation to be very helpful. The included rudder control is very nice also. If you don't have much strength, the rudder can be difficult to raise and lower. I'm hoping it'll improve with usage. For some people, you may have to manually raise and lower the rudder before going out. The pedal unit is extremely quiet and smooth. You can pedal forward and reverse. Will be really helpful for hands free fishing.

I've only had a chance to use this once, so far. The pedal unit is smooth and quiet. I installed this on my 11.5 Wilderness Radar. The on-line installation instructions was well done and installation was easy. I'm really looking forward to trying some saltwater fishing with the pedal unit.

I have two of the Helix PD Pedal Drive units that are used on my 11.5 and 13.5 Radar kayaks. Used them for the first time today. It took a little while to get everything situated just right. The units worked very well. One word of caution - stay out of weed beds, under water plants, etc. They like to get snarled in the propeller.

This product is a game changer. I was going to wait til next year to make this purchase but so glad I did not wait. Install was very easy just YouTube this product and you will find easy to follow how to instructions. My only complaint is the rudder handle occasionally slips out of place but learning how to work it. One trip I was able to hold my position on a river and catch 6 Smallies as other kayakers just floated by and did not catch anything.

Q: I see it says hand control for the rudder included. Does the rudder also come with the pedal drive or is it purchased separately? Trying to find out how much the kayak, drive, and rudder costs.

Q: I have a feel free moken 12.5 kayak. Is it possible to make a hole in kayak and install this pedal drive on my kayak.
Asked on Aug 13, 2017 by Brady W
FLAG QUESTION
A: We would highly discourage you trying to modify your Feelfree kayak to fit the Helix Pedal Drive. This drive is only intended to work with the Wilderness Systems Radar kayaks. Feelfree will be coming out with a drive compatible with the their Lure series later this year or early 2018 though.
