Watersport carrier helps you load and transport 1 kayak on your Malone trailer crossbars. V-Style carrier fits most kayaks and the universal mounting hardware attaches to most crossbars. Tie-downs and load straps included. Clamp-on installation.True story- I purchased this product 2x from [online] and both times it came with mismatched/different size T-nuts and Bolts so I tried contacting seller who sent me to [online] where there is no live human being to communicate with. So I had to return and wait for refund but after the same experience with this item 2x I looked elsewhere. I am sure glad I did! Same price! Superhero fast shipping, ordered and received in 3 days!!!!! Live human beings to communicate with if there is a need.
All of the parts are correct so now I just have to wait until the temps warm up a little to get this installed and my new fishing kayak home. My new kayak is currently on a table in my office waiting for this roof rack carrier because I made the mistake of ordering from [online] and going 2 weeks trying to get a defective product straightened out and now it is cold again.
I wish I had found etrailer.com sooner but definitely have them in my bookmarks now!!
Best solution i could find for a 95# 12’ fishing kayak for a F150 with a roof rack (i have a thule removable). It performs really well. Only complaint would be rubber coating on brackets that go under the truck rack rail cracked so i worry ot may come off with age. I still recommend this. I pull a travel trailer so I couldn’t use a bed extender & the roof was my best solution.
My kayaks are 2 predator 13 kayaks they weigh 90lbs each. I have both on my truck racks. They work great. I just needed longer mounting bolts.
The product is great and the shipping service was on time. I had one problem and customer service handled it quickly and efficiently. I would not hesitate to use your e-trailer again. I have one suggestion and that is the boxes that the product came in was flimsy and damaged in transit. In the first order all of the accessories were missing as they fell out the large hole in the box. Customer service sent me a new one almost immediately in a very heavy double box. I ordered a second set which arrived in a timely manner and another box that was heavily damaged, however this time the product did not fall out. So two out of three arrived damaged so I think perhaps you might consider better boxes.
Daniel - 11/29/2021I am very happy with this purchase. I ordered two sets to hold my two large ocean kayaks on my roof rack. The kayaks are approximately 34” wide and I was concerned how sturdy the mounts would be but the reinforced plastic feels very durable and accommodated the width of my kayaks easily. Mounting to my Yakima aero bars was no problem with the hardware provided. I used the longer screws and there was plenty of length to thread on the nuts and the screws have plenty of clearance from my roof. The included straps are also of a heavier webbing than I expected. I assumed I would use my own but the kit straps With locking adjusters are nicer. I did not use the Included front and rear rope straps as I do not Trust the knots and takes too long to get it tight enough to feel secure. An additional set of ratchet straps does the trick. Overall I am super satisfied with the quality and value of these kayak holders and very glad I went with these over some of the J-style options which would have added substantially more height to my vehicle.
The package came bit up, but the product was intact. Looks it fit well with Thule Aero cross bars. I'm going to use it for the first time this coming weekend
Carlos G - 10/23/2021Great tie downs for the BKC 12.5’ tandem kayaks! Somewhat difficult to fit flat hull yaks, but we make it work. Works really well on the Subaru Ascent. Seems to be more secure than I-racks for these large kayaks. Also keeps the height from getting too tall. Would recommend for for large kayaks. Only 4 stars because of some difficulty with the flat hull.
Worked well and is sturdy. For my setup I did get a set of the longer bolts as I'm using thicker crossbars.
very easy to install and makes loading a snap, very secure after strapping kayak down actually have two we carry both boats on the roof.
This product has held up well in the year we've used it. We do keep it out of the sun as much as possible.
We have it on a Subaru Forester and it makes it SO much easier to load and unload kayaks compared to J hook racks!
This is a very secure kayak rack. My only complaint is the plastic coating on the bottom clamp is peeling off.
These work great, holding my kayak steady with no trouble. The only complaint I could make is they they generate a LOT of wind noise if they are left on my roof rack when I am not transporting my kayak. The install and removal of them is not that time consuming, though, so I generally just put them on when they are needed.
The service from etrailer was great. I first called to confirm availability. The agent was polite and to the point. He quickly verified stock and that they could ship right away. No hold times, no guessing or let me check like you find at some places. I placed the order at noon on the 26th of July. By 11pm I had an email it had shipped with a link for tracking. That link showed me the name of each agent that was a part of processing my order. The order was delivered on 29th of July. Sturdy packaging, no damage to shipping carton or product. There was even a note in the inside flap of the shipping carton that they don't want the bottom of the box to be the end of the relationship and listed contact options in case of problems or questions.
We still have to mount the racks and load the kayaks so it's too soon to speak to the actual product but the service from etrailer is some of the best I've seen.
I have a wide Crescent Crew tandem kayak (35"). Bought the MegaWing secure it to my CRV. So far so good after two trips. Kayak didn't budge even on windy roads. Easy to install. I really could only find this product on etrailer.com. Crescent recommends using the mega and seaWing for securing their kayaks to the roof
I fell in love with kayaking three years ago, and purchased my own kayak two years ago. Since I am not far from the area where I kayak, I have just been folding down the back seat of my SUV and sticking the kayak in the back, with two feet of it hanging out of the rear window. I can still do that, but with this roof rack, I can now also explore places that are farther away from home. I live in Michigan, and there are kayak opportunities all around because we have a great deal of water, but driving long distances with a kayak hanging out of the tailgate is not the ideal situation. This rack will solve that problem very nicely! I have already attached it to my roof rack, and it seems to work like a charm! I'm very much looking forward to using it this summer. The price was excellent and it arrived within a week.
Very pleased with the quality and fit of the Malone Megawing kayak rack. The service and follow up are outstanding as well.
Sturdy, well made product. Works great!
Great product, gave it a 4 because bolts weren't long enough, even though they gave 2 sizes. Bolts were for standard car top racks. My bars are 1.5" square tubing. Other than that they're great. This is my second set, first were Sea Wings, since I have heavy kayaks I changed to Mega Wings.
Tried out the malone kayak carrier and it worked great. It was easy to set up. Used the straps it came with and one more strap that I had, did not move or slide around.
I'm giving this an excellent review even thought I didn't end up purchasing it. Because of a delayed ship date, I ordered something else and canceled this item. The review is on their customer service. I actually received a direct email from a person and was able to reply back. The person canceled my order for me. Five stars for REAL customer service!
Etrailer is one stop place Outstanding products, brand names, great prices! Extremely fast shipping!
