Lightweight Trailer is Perfect for Hauling Kayaks or Canoes
This lightweight and versatile trailer comes with V-style carriers so you can transport your favorite kayaks or canoes. The padded carriers cradle your boats hull and hold it securely in place. With a 6-3/4' long tongue, this trailer offers exceptional clearance during tight turns. The extended tongue also makes it easier to back up the trailer and prevent binding than trailers with shorter tongues.
Durable V-style kayak carriers with soft padding prevent scuffs, scratches, or damage to your boat during transport. The fixed arms stabilize your boat and prevent movement while traveling on uneven or rough terrain
Submersible LED Trailer Lights
The DOT-approved tail lights on this trailer are fully submersible, so you don't have to worry about damaging the lights when loading and unloading your boat in water. Each tail light has brake, running light, and turn signal functions, as well as side marker lights and reflectors. In addition, these LED lights last longer, burn brighter, and require less power than incandescent bulbs.
The wiring for this trailer has a simple design, so it requires very little cutting or splicing to install. As you assemble the trailer, route the main wiring harness through the trailer tongue and down towards the body of the trailer. Then plug the 4-wire end of the tail light harness into the main harness.
Run the wires of the tail light harness along the sides of the trailer frame and attach the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights using wire connectors. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are secure, use the included clips to secure the harness to the frame.
When you're ready to connect the trailer to your vehicle, simply plug the trailer end of the main harness into the 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.
Leaf Spring Suspension
This trailer includes a leaf spring suspension system to limit road shock while you tow. A sturdy steel axle runs beneath the trailer frame. The 2 slipper springs that support the axle flex to absorb the rough motion that can occur when driving over bumpy terrain. Also, the axle, spring hangers, and tie plate are galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.
Quick and Easy Trailer Hookup
Hooking this trailer to your vehicle is quick and easy. The trailer's coupler connects to a 2" hitch ball, and the included safety chains act as an emergency measure if the coupler accidentally disconnects from your hitch ball. A rubber coated lift handle is mounted to the coupler to provide a solid grip for lifting or maneuvering the trailer. Finally, the skid plate on the underside of the trailer tongue keeps the coupler from touching the ground.

Lightweight and versatile trailer is perfect for hauling 2 kayaks or canoes. V-style carriers with padding hold your boats securely in place. 11' Long marine-grade trailer with 8" wheels supports boats up to 14' long.by: Don 12/17/2022
The EcoLight Trailer has been perfect for my needs. It got to the point where putting two kayaks on my 2019 Jeep was getting too difficult. My wife @ 5'4" couldn't really help. I have two 12' Wilderness Pungo kayaks. The trailer is easy to move around manually with or without the kayaks aboard. While the assembly took awhile, it was a very methodical process. Very logical.
Two cautions: The directions tell you to lay out all the pieces before you begin. Do it, it will save time! Make sure you check how the decals will look when you turn the frame over. Mine are all upside down. It gives it a classic look, however.
by: David06/01/2023
Looks like this will be a great trailer. All parts were there when I opened the boxes and there were no damaged parts. Only problem was that the Malone label and specs label on the tongue bar were installed upside down.
by: Ralph 07/23/2022
Great tandem trailer for hauling kayaks. It's not difficult to assemble, but it will take you a good half day to put it all together. Watch the Youtube video before assembly as it will give you a few nice tips. Super sturdy, excellent tiedown straps that keep the kayaks immobile even on bumpy roads. Highly recommend!!

FABULOUS!! Numerous trips have been taken with great success. This is a must for kayak travelers. Tired of struggling to get your boats onto a roof-style carrier? Worry no more - this tandem trailer will make it super easy. This is a must purchase item!
by: Jay07/17/2022
I didn't have any problems assembling the trailer. I rated the trailer a 4 because after one year of use the rubber on the V mounts has some ware. Someday they will need replaced. Maybe a pool noodle will work? Other than that, I very happy with the trailer.

The trailer is working out great. I keep it outside year-round. In the winter months I cover the V mounts and wheels with a plastic tarp. Its so nice to have this trailer my wife can even load the kayaks. It beats trying to throw the kayaks up on the roof of the SUV. Those days are gone!
by: Robert06/28/2022
The Malone EcoLight trailer is great. I’ve had it for a year now and it’s really helpful. My only issue (but not enough to go down to a 4-star rating) is that the rubber on the V-Style carriers started partially coming off when I first started using it. It doesn’t really cause a problem, however, buyers of the trailer itself might want to consider getting the version that has no carriers included, because you can put just about any style of carriers on it, like J-Style carriers.
I’m including a picture of my kayaks on the trailer. I store them bottom-side up because I don’t have anything covering the cockpits.

Product as advertised, customer service excellent, haven't used it yet but so far so good
by: Daniel 08/24/2022
We've been using the trailer with both the v-style carriers and some J-channel carriers we bought separately. With the J-channel carriers, we were able to carry 3 kayaks. I did replace the plastic license plate frame with a metal one making it a little more difficult to steal. I also added some eye bolts in the frame to make it easier to tie the boat bow and stern to the frame for safer travel over longer distances. The trailer rides well behind my Ford Edge. I soldered the trailer lighting and used heat shrink tubing instead of using the clips that were provided. I also purchased a spare tire and wheel, though short of road hazzards, the tires are expected to last for years.
by: Donald 08/12/2022
We have used the trailer a couple of times so far this year and found it to be very useful as well as helpful. Prior to the trailer we used a car roof mount which was labor intense and pretty difficult. Now we leave the kayaks on the trailer and just hook it up and go. I would certainly recommend this product and have to others who kayak with our church group.

It’s perfect
by: Philippe 06/28/2022
Perfect for the purpose, If I had to do greater distance I would have chosen a heavier model but for me the eco light is ok. Better stability on the road than expected. Good quality for the price… and excellent customer service! Thank you !
by: Katelyn05/28/2021
We received the trailer, it was easy to assemble after watching the video. The item was on back order and came directly from Malone. etrailer was more than helpful with guidance on when to expect delivery. Thanks for your help and great product!! Would recommend.

This trailer is awesome! It can suit many needs for its weight capacity as long as you are capable of securing the load properly. I use it to haul two 12.5' kayaks. With everything loaded we're hauling about 250lbs and it rides nice even for a light load. Following instructions to construct it was straight forward enough although do allow yourself plenty of time and patience! Have had it for about 18 months now and its seen nearly 1k miles and it is really doing great. The replacement parts like spare wheels, lighting, and wiring are easily found online or at big hardware stores. Really a great trailer with easy repairability making it a good choice to have for a long time as long as its well taken care of.
by: Howard11/18/2020
I’m very pleased with this trailer. The quality far exceeded my expectations. I will use it to transport my two 14 foot kayaks as I don’t feel like hoisting them to the roof of my car anymore. I am not mechanically inclined and was a bit intimidated when it arrived in three boxes. However the step by step instructions guided me through the assembly process and I put it all together over the course of a long afternoon.
by: Udo06/19/2023
The Ecolight trailer is an excellent product for hauling kayaks. It arrived in 3 boxes and it took about 3 hours to assemble. The video from malone was helpful in assembly of the product. I would recommend this product for transporting kayaks easily.

We are first time trailer users and so far so good.
by: Bill L.10/02/2020
'You get what you pay for'. The quality of the materials and fabrication made the assembling enjoyable without having to force pieces to 'make then fit'. Studying the instructions first, then going slow, made my trailer go together without issue. If I had it to do over again I would buy a Malone trailer without hesitation. Thank you for making such a quality product!
by: Rick 09/30/2022
My Malone Ecolight Sport Trailer for my `heavy 12' sit-on-top fishing kayak is perfect for my fishing trips. I get lots of compliments on both my Kayak and trailer. People can't believe the trailer was a kit. I'm not an expert handi-man, but I had no trouble following the directions. A great buy!
by: Scott 05/23/2023
As expected. Good trailer
by: Dennis03/12/2022
Overall, I'm very pleased with this trailer. I can store my kayaks on the it in my garage and have it hooked up to my car, ready to go to the lake, in five minutes. Putting it together was not difficult. The quality is very good with one exception. The wiring harness that came with the kit seemed flimsy and fragile, with the insulation easily nicked. When I plugged it into my vehicle it blew a fuse in my car. I decided to scrap their wiring and went to the hardware store and purchased a new wiring harness that seemed sturdier. I also purchased heat shrink butt connectors for all the connections. The new harness has worked fine, with no further problems. The only other modification I made was additional padding on the J-style carriers to better cushion the boats and around the cross bars where they meet the vertical support to protect the tie down straps from sharp edges.
The 8-inch wheels make me a little nervous, but I repacked them with a high-quality grease (Triax Atlas 600 synthetic) at the end of summer and will replace the bearings at the end of this summer, probably with Timken bearings. I have also purchased a spare hub assembly with prepacked bearings to take with me on the road in case of a failure.
by: Jason06/14/2022
We started with small trips (22 miles one way) to gain confidence and kayak configurations. It was flawless. Feeling confident in the trailer and our rigging abilities we headed out for 1900 miles round trip with small trips to river and inter coastal. Spectacular with heavy kayaks (old town MK106x2) and a Wilderness tarpon 106 along with a Lifetime.
Because the MK106 are so wide we laid them flat and put the other kayaks on top. This worked well with some load shift and cushion fatigue but we weren’t using them by design so can’t complain. Overall excellent little trailer with big capabilities.
by: Nigel11/16/2020
We have used the trailer for a few weeks now and we are generally satisfied with it. The trailer can be loaded easily and moved by hand even with two kayaks on it. It seems to ride Ok when towing at normal road speeds. Reversing it takes some practice, probably because it has a narrower track than the utility trailers that I've towed in the past. Assembly was Ok, although I agree with a another reviewer that you need to be comfortable using a torque wrench and wire strippers. The instructions need to be updated and clarified. It took me a while to figure out how the wire clips worked. I wish the wiring was heavier gauge for overall robustness.
by: Stephen 06/09/2021
Great trailer, easy assembly. Good directions, bad pictures. Use the etrailer assembly video! Solid, well made piece of road hardware. One note: I bought this to use my Yakima JayLow racks on, specifically because it says it will work with them. It will not. Although the rack can clamp on the 1 1/2" square bar, it is not stable and they will fall right off. I replaced the square bar with a 1" ID galvanized steel pipe cut to the correct length and it works great. Yakima says that rack is not really designed to clamp on square tubing.

See what our Experts say about this Malone Kayak Trailer
- Is There Torque Rating for Assembly of Malone EcoLight TrailerI checked with Malone and the bolts that hold the frame of the Malone EcoLight trailer part # MAL43FR do not have a torque spec rating. So you would just want to get them hand tight with an appropriate size wrench/ratchet.
view full answer... - Can Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer With V-Style Carriers Carry 12 Foot KayaksThe Malone trailer you referenced is a superb option to carry a pair of 12 foot kayaks; the trailer is capable of carrying boats up to 14 feet so it's perfect for you. The trailer you were asking about is the following: - Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL43FR
view full answer... - Will 12' Long 34" Wide Fishing Kayaks Fit on Malone EcoLight Sport TrailerThe crossbars on the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL43FR measure 58" long so your 34" kayaks will overhang the crossbars some but that's pretty normal. These are designed to work with up to 14' kayaks so your smaller 12' kayaks will fit perfectly. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Will My 2016 Toyota Highlander Fit In A 67 Parking Garage With Kayaks On TopI do have a solution for you, but it would require you to get a trailer for your kayaks. You can use something like the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 400 lbs, part # MAL43FR, to carry two kayaks. Your 2016 Toyota Highlander is 68.1" tall. The parking garage is 79" tall. Unfortunately, you will not be able to carry your kayaks on the roof of your vehicle and fit in the parking garage. You will not have enough space, 11" is not enough. I have included...
view full answer... - Recommended Kayak Trailer For Two 12' Mirage Compass Hobie Kayaks The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL43FR is 11' in length making it compatible with kayaks up to 14' in length, which means you'll have no issues hauling your 12' Mirage Compass Hobie kayaks. The trailer is very light at just 145lbs and can easily be moved around during hookup. The leaf spring suspension should give you a nice ride without the need of any additional enhancement. I've attached a video below where AJ will walk you through the installation and use of the this trailer.
view full answer... - Malone EcoLight Trailer for 2 Tarpon 120 KayaksNo, the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR would not be too small for your (2) Tarpon 120 kayaks. From what I found on your Tarpon 120 kayaks, they are 12' long and weigh 63 lbs. The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR can handle boats/kayaks up to 14' long and has a weight capacity of 400 lbs. So the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR is more than capable of handling your (2) Tarpon 120 kayaks.
view full answer... - Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer Recommendation for Carrying 2 Wilderness Recon 120 Fishing KayaksMalone doesn't have a specific weight rating for these particular J-Style cradles so the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with J-Style Carriers # MAL93FR should work since the overall weight capacity is 400 lbs. With that being said, I recommend checking out the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR as an alternative since it might be a little easier to load the boats from the back instead of lifting them up into cradles. saddle style, or V-style, cradles are traditionally...
view full answer... - Recommended Malone EcoLight Trailer for Two Old Town 119 Canoes with 32.5" WidthHey Anthony! You'll be able to use the Malone EcoLight # MAL43FR for your canoes just fine - you'll just have to adjust the carriers to the outside of the crossbars to get the boats to fit. The Malone EcoLight # MAL93FR has the same width for the crossbars, but the J-Style carriers aren't designed around canoes so you'll want to avoid using this style.
view full answer... - Malone Kayak Trailers Capable Of Carrying 2 Kayaks Each 34" Wide The crossbars on the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL43FR are 58" long. While the 2 kayaks you are wanting to carry will each be 34" wide that will place the Kayak approximately 6" past the edge of the crossbar on each side with a couple inches between them in the middle. This would be acceptable as it does not hang over the sides that far and the carriers will still be able to be placed where they can support the kayak while driving. We also have...
view full answer... - How Many Kayak Carriers Does the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer Come WithThe Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer part # MAL43FR comes with eight half arm brackets, everything needed to carry two kayaks. The first photo shows the complete trailer and what it will look like assembled. In order to use this trailer with a 7-way trailer connector, you can use the 7-Way to 4-Flat Adapter part # 47345.
view full answer... - What Type of Trailer Wiring Harness is Needed to Tow Malone EcoLight TrailerThe Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL43FR that you bought uses a 4-way trailer connector for the trailer lighting so the correct harness you'd need for your 2007 Ford Focus is the # 18252 which splices into the taillight circuits of your vehicle. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2003 Ford Focus for you to check out as well.

While the J-racks that come with the EcoLight Sport # MAL93FR, and the V-racks that come with the EcoLight Sport # MAL43FR have been discontinued as individual parts, what you can use that will fit to carry your kayaks is the MegaWing: - Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - V-Style # MPG207 The # MPG207 are 27-1/2 inches long, so...

Both tires are capable of being used on the Malone EcoLight Trailers # MAL53FR, # MAL73FR, # MAL93FR, # MAL63FR and # MAL43FR.
view full answer... - Spare Tire for Malone EcoLight Trailer Compatibility With Retractable Tongue KitThe Spare Tire for Malone EcoLight Trailer # MAL33FR is compatible with # MAL53FR, # MAL73FR, # MAL93FR, # MAL63FR and # MAL43FR but the trailer tongues are the same as the Retractable Tongue Kit for Malone MicroSport Trailers # MPG494 so it will fit.

In which case, the best option to fix this are longer crossbars, the Crossbars for Malone MicroSport Trailers part # MPG4001 which are 78" long and you can trim off any extra you don't need.

So if you have room for another, and your roof won't be maxed out by the kayaks, you're good to add another Hullavator. However I'd make sure first that you aren't going to be maxing out your roof's capacity, you should be able to find this information in your owner's manual. The only other solution would be to use a kayak trailer like the Malone...

The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR that you found only has a 58" long crossbar making your Kayaks 14" wider than the crossbars and hanging over the trailer where they are more likely to become damaged.

If they are not going to fit next to each other on their back then you could look into adding JPro2 Kayak Carriers # MPG117MD. This replaces the V-style cradles and allows the kayak to rest on its side, thus saving space on the 58" crossbar. Just be sure that...
view full answer... - What is Difference Between Malone MicroSport and EcoLight TrailersThe big difference between the two trailers is the EcoLight trailers like part # MAL43FR were made to be lighter weight for smaller vehicles and have lower weight capacities. This weighs 145 lbs and has a 400 lb capacity whereas the MicroSport # MPG461KB weighs 240 lbs and has an 800 lb capacity. So it comes down to what you are looking to carry and your tow vehicle which would make most sense to go with.

The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR only have 58" wide crossbars, which will be far undersized for your (2) Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL Kayaks. Instead, you would want to use the Malone MicroSport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MPG461GS. This trailer has 78" wide crossbars.

Im going into my second year and the kayak trailer has exceeded all my expectations. Easy to trailer tracks well even without the kayaks. Easy to adjust. So much easier and faster than putting two kayaks on a Jeep SUV and then strapping them down. Winds have a way of moving kayaks around on top of a Jeep. Absolutely no worries on the trailer. Solid!
