Must-Have Bonafide & Native Watercraft Kayak Accessories

Are you looking to rig your Bonafide or Native Watercraft kayak for the season? If so, a lot can go into the rigging process, from adding a trolling motor, navigation lights, electronics, rod holders, mounts, etc. All of this enhances your fishing experience and ability while on the water. Bonafide and Native Watercraft have crafted kayak-specific essentials for their lineup, ensuring you have everything you need to perform on the water and protect your investment. Check out some must-have accessories for any Bonafide and Native Watercraft owner.

SideKick

Whether rocking a Bonafide RVR119 or a Native Watercraft Titan X 12.5, transportation to and from the truck to the water is a big step. The addition of the Sidekick Wheel System helps bridge the gap when maneuvering terrain. The Sidekick Wheel System will fit all Native Watercraft Propel models, excluding the LT and Manta-Ray. Additionally, this system fits Bonafide P127, PWR129, RVR119, SKF117, and XTR130 kayaks. Each Sidekick conveniently installs onto the gear track system behind each kayak's seat.

The Sidekick Wheel System is available in two variations: Standard Kit and Sand Wheel Kit. The Standard Wheels offer a durable, rugged, and reliable design that will handle most terrain, whether transporting from the truck to the boat ramp or through any hard ground. The Sand Wheels assist in sand and softer terrain by cushioning the kayak's weight, allowing you to maneuver where denser tires can't. Additionally, no-float wheels are available as an upgrade for the Sidekick. The No Float Wheels will never go flat, built for the harshest terrain; if you're an adventurer, the No Float Wheels are for you.

Mounting Plates

Utilizing your kayak to its full potential can be done by adding a trolling motor or a Power-Pole Micro Anchor. These tools will only increase your performance and proficiency on the water. However, many Bonafide and Native Watercraft models require a specific mount to install these accessories safely. Each mount is pre-drilled for each specific kayak and includes a variety of accessory patterns, from trolling motor specific to Micro Anchor specific. From the Native Slayer and Titan models, there are a variety of Native Watercraft Motor Mounts for Bow or Stern. Similarly, Bonafide Kayak Motor Mount Plates are available for the SS127, RVR119, XTR130, and PWR129.

For PWR129 owners, there is a full lineup of PWR129 Mounting Plates to fully and effectively rig your kayak with the latest technology from the Dry Pod Plate to cover your existing dry pod, the Stern Plates that allow you to rig not one but two Power-Pole Micro Anchors, the Side Plate Kit, which adds additional mounting surfaces along the sides of your kayak for more accessories, and lastly, the Computer Plate which houses your forward-facing sonar module.

Cover

Protect your investment on the road or in storage with the proper covering. The Bonafide Kayak Covers and Native Watercraft Kayak Covers are made in the USA with marine-grade anti-wick threading that features double-stitched construction with 4-ply join seams. Each cover is secured utilizing the included tie-down straps along the sewn-in loops along the cover. These covers protect your kayak from the elements and debris on the road and help keep your kayak neat and organized when not in use.

These covers are available for your favorite Bonafide kayaks from the PWR129, RS117, SS107, SS127, P127, XTR130, and PWR129. For Native Watercraft Kayaks, covers are available for Slayer Propel, Slayer Max, Titan, and Titan X kayaks.

PRO Covers are also available for Bonafide P127, XTR130, PWR129, and Native Watercraft Titan X 12.5. The PRO Covers are slightly larger than the standard covers, allowing more accessories, including the seat (in the closed position), to stay installed on the kayak when the cover is installed.

Graph Mounts

With the advancements in today's technology, staying ahead of the game is the key to success for many competitive anglers. Utilizing your electronics allows you to find and locate fish, and there's no better way to view your graphs clearly and efficiently than with the Captains Bridge Fishfinder Graph Mount. The Captain Bridge can be mounted utilizing various techniques on various kayaks. Kayaks with gear tracks on the port and starboard sides can slide right into the tracks. For models that do not have tracks but a flat surface, anglers can add YakAttack Mighty Mounts to attach along the graph mount, allowing you to measure the width of where you would like to place this graph mount. The mounting surface features dual mounting tracks, while the side utilizes a single mounting track. This system easily installs your electronics or any various track-mounted accessories.

Available in a 26" and a 32" design, the Captain's Bridge will fit on the Native Watercraft Titan X, the Bonafide PWR129, and many more. For reference, if you want to add dual monitors over 9" to the Captain's Bridge, you will need the 32" to maximize the spacing.

Rudder Kits

Whether you're utilizing your kayak's Propel Pedal Drive or your favorite Torqueedo Trolling Motor, an upgraded rudder will improve the performance and control of your Bonafide or Native Watercraft kayak. Installation is straightforward, and all the necessary hardware is included with each applicable rudder.

By installing a Hi-Performance Rudder to your Native Watercraft Slayer, Slayer MAX, or Titan kayak, you now have an upgraded rudder with 25% more surface area. This rudder provides more control in adverse conditions and a more robust construction for long-lasting performance. For Native Watercraft Kayaks, you can also purchase the Springblade Rudder, which comes standard on most Native kayaks. This rudder also makes a great addition to a previous model kayak.

For Bonafide SS107, SS127, RS117, and EX123 kayaks, you can add the Bonafide Kayak FlexWings. These wings improve your kayak's tracking and eliminate the need for a skeg or rudder. These heavy-duty stiff rubber wings are durable as they are installed underneath the dual skid plates on your kayak. For the SS107 and SS127, you can improve the performance by adding the SS Rudder Kit. This kit is custom-built for these kayaks, featuring a YakAttack SwingBlade Rudder, enabling you to deploy and retract your rudder hands-free.
