Weight Capacity of the Malone Foam Blocks for Kayaks
Question:
Hi, Is the weight limit 50lbs per block? I have a catamaran style kayak Blue Sky Angler 360 weighing 170 lbs and Id use 4 blocks, two for each hull. Will this work? Also, these will fit the Yakima round bars of a Rack and Roll trailer?

Yes the capacity of the Malone Foam Block for Kayaks part # MPG158 is 50 lbs. per block. These will work out really well for your Catayak and I really like the solution you have come up with. They are designed to fit the bars of the Yakima Rock n Roll trailers like part # Y08106. They have a squared top in the slot cutout that allows them to straddle the bars perfectly.
We designed the etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps w/ Buckle Protectors part # E98876-4 for this exact reason. They will secure your boat very nicely and keep the metal buckles from hitting the hulls.
These will not stay on the trailer at any kind of speed without the boat loaded so please secure the if you take off with out the boat or they will be laying on the road.
