Heavy-duty Trailer Hauls Different Types of Boats and Cargo
This heavy-duty trailer with 86" crossbars has extensive space to mount accessories like watersport carriers, bike racks, a fishing rod carrier, or a cargo box (sold separately). You can also mount 2 heavy-duty storage containers under the crossbars to hold all your gear while hauling your boats.
With a 7-1/2' 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.
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.
Plug-and-Play Trailer Wiring
The wiring for this trailer has a simple plug-and-play design, so it doesn't require any 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 plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are plugged in, 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 when the jack isn't in use.
An easy-to-use manual crank jack allows you to raise or lower the coupler height for quick trailer adjustment. The jack comes with a swiveling wheel that rotates 360 degrees for full trailer control. A built-in handle twists and locks into place, folding the jack in a horizontal position against the tongue when not in use.

I was tried of lifting kayaks onto our Toyota Highlander and the ladder rack on our Ford F-250 4X4 truck. While I am in good shape, after 66 years of use, I decided that a kayak trailer would be a better option than sore shoulders. A trailer would also allow us to haul additional kayaks for outings with friends and family. After weighing all the scenarios, I settled on the Malone Megasport. It arrived amazingly fast and after about 5 hours the trailer materialized our of the 7 boxes. The assembly was straightforward and the great videos on the etrailer website helped considerably. After assembly, registering the trailer with our DMV was painless. The trailer tows easily, our kayaks are secure and the storage trunk (additional purchase) is massive and stores our pfds and associated gear. I installed 2 Malone Downloader J-hook kayak racks and a Malone Seawing rack. If I need to haul a fourth kayak, I will install another Downloader. The Megasport has been a great investment! The customer service and follow up was also great! Thank you, Kaylyn R.!
The only suggestion I have is that the folks at Malone should include rubber grommets to protect the wiring as it threads through the frame. I bought and installed grommets myself but I think they should have been supplied by the manufacturer.

Received the kayak trailer in six boxes. Removed all the parts from the boxes and placed them on a large tarp in the order required by the instructions. I took my time putting the kayak trailer together since I am 80 years old and did not want to miss a step. I am very pleased with the results and I can load and unload my two kayaks easily

The MALONE trailer is fantastic. Far more robust than I was expecting. Having just retired with more time to paddle, I was tired of taking the boats on and off the roof all the time, especially my 18' rowing shell with seat inside. My wife was too short to load anything except on top of our smallest car.
We live on an island and next year I may start a small kayak touring venture. The trailer will be perfect.
My only comment to help you improve would be better instructions for the add-on rack kit. The trailer instructions were perfect.

I've had the trailer for a year so far. I love it! Its light, easy to tow, and makes loading kayaks way easier than loading them on our car. Now, when we go kayaking, we regularly throw all our friends kayaks on the trailer too, makes pick ups at the end of a run way easier. I will never go back. We love this thing.

This trailer while functional, is not particularly user friendly. Thus far we have had 1 safety recall and 3 flat tires. I'd suggest adding lock tight to all of the provided nuts as an extra safety precaution as well otherwise they will rattle loose. The plates that hold up the branches need padding otherwise they cut into the kayaks when they are strapped in place. The license plate holder is also very low to the ground. My suggestion for anyone purchasing this is to drill holes into the back beam and make your own spot for the plate, otherwise it may get knocked off/ bent going over any bumps.

My trailer was on back order until the middle of October.But i got it on September 15 2020.I was very happy about that.Great customer service ! Love my new Malone Mega Sport trailer.Very well built !

I love this trailer. it is perfect for my business. easy to set up, just takes time. sturdy. 10/10 recommend. the guys at etrailer are also top notch and will help you along the way and follow up on your needs well past the sale.
by: Jim 06/14/2021
The trailer works really well, light enough to maneuver by hand. It works with kayaks or canoes. I would pass on the cargo containers, everything in the metal one gets dirty and the plastic one is not dust proof or even rain proof.
by: Roy 05/17/2021
Among the many sources for purchasing the trailer for my boat rental business, River house Boats in Rowlesburg, WV etrailer was straight forward about delivery and came through even before the projected delivery date. They have my highest rating! Tim Weaver, owner.

view full answer... - Can Thule Roof Rack Accessories Fit on Crossbars of Malone Megasport Trailer part # MPG535The square crossbars of the Malone Megasport trailer part # MPG535 are compatible with Thule accessories that were designed to fit square bars.
view full answer... - Upgrading Tires on Malone MegaSport TrailerChanging a trailer's tire size does not necessarily equal an upgrade. The most useful way to add safety margin to a trailer is to change the Load Range rating of the existing tire size. I will explain why. Heat is a trailer tire's worst enemy. Heat is what causes most tire failures apart from outright punctures from road debris. The causes for excess heat in a tire are driving it too fast, overloading it beyond its weight rating or by incorrect inflation pressure, either too low or too...

view full answer... - How To Order the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer With Select OptionsThe Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer is offered in a few different variants, these are compiled by Malone. We don't have the ability to submit special requests but what you can do is go with the basic version, part # MPG535 and order what you want from the list below.
view full answer... - Are All Parts of the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer Made in the USAI spoke with Malone and the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer part # MPG535 is USA made and assembled save for the leaf springs and wheels/tires. I don't think there are many leaf spring manufactures in the USA and I know there are only a few trailer tire manufactures. The trailer does have a five year warranty on the other hand so if anything were to go wrong with those parts then you would be covered.
view full answer... - Do I Need to Mount the Boats on the Crossbars of my Malone MegaSport TrailerI suppose you could use the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer - 86" Crossbars - 1000 lbs # MPG535 in this manner, but I don't necessarily recommend it since it's just going to scratch up the boats and might potentially obscure the lights and license plate. Typically we recommend using a kayak carrier on the crossbars to carry your boats since this is the safest and provides the easiest loading and unloading option for your kayaks; a good low cost option to protect the hulls of the boats...
view full answer... - Can 86 inch Crossbars be Added to Malone MegaSport TrailerThe 86" crossbars on your Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 aren't available as replacements, but we do have the Crossbar Conversion Kit # MPG475 which comes with 78" crossbars that sit 13-3/4" tall if that works for your application. Keep in mind that this kit is for a standard utility trailer so you will need to figure out how to get the crossbars to fit the trailer.
view full answer... - Recommended Boat Trailer for a 16' Inflatable Saturn BoatI recommend checking out the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 with the bunk kit # MPG561. This trailer will work with boats that measure up to 20' long, has trailer dimensions of 86" x 1-1/4" x 1-1/4", and has a 1,000 lb weight capacity.
view full answer... - Can the Malone Sliding Storage Drawer # MPG537 Fit Carriers Other Than the Malone MegaSportIn theory, yes you could get the Sliding Storage Drawer # MPG537 to work on a different trailer, like your Highliner MBW8-14, but since it was made specifically for the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 you will have to do some modifications to your trailer. I have attached the installation instructions for the storage drawer so that you can see the steps necessary to install the drawer. Please note that the included rollers are supposed to sit between 2 cross beams that are about...
view full answer... - Does Plastic Storage Trunk for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG536 Permanently Mount to TrailerYes, the Plastic Storage Trunk for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG536 that you referenced does secure to the Malone trailer part # MPG535 trailer with included hardware. It would not be easily removable at all.
view full answer... - Parts Needed for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer to Carry 40" and 48" Wide Fishing KayaksThe Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 has 86" wide crossbars so you will be able to lay both kayaks side-by-side and they will stick out 1" on either side. The best kayak carrier for your application is the Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG207 because you will be able to easily load up each kayak and it has a weight capacity of 150 lbs so it should be able to handle the size of your kayaks just fine. Obviously you'll need 1 set of this carrier per kayak. We...
view full answer... - Storage Trunk for a Malone MicroSport TrailerI have an alternate option for you, but the Plastic Storage Trunk for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG536 is a fit for the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 and does not fit a MicroSport trailer. For a Malone MicroSport trailer, you will want to use the Storage Trunk for Malone MicroSport and XtraLight Trailers # MPG481.
view full answer... - Recommended 2 Kayak Trailer Made in the USAFor a kayak trailer that can hold 2 kayaks and is made in the USA you can use the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer - 86" Crossbars - 1,000 lbs # MPG535 you were looking at. Keep in mind, this does not come with any kayak carriers so you would need to add them separately. If you would prefer an option that comes with carriers, you could use the Malone MicroSport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 800 lbs # MPG461GS. This has a maximum capacity of 150 lbs per boat and a maximum...
view full answer... - Lighterweight Roof Rack on Wheels Style TrailerWe have lighter weight trailer similar to the Malone you referenced with the part # MPG460G which is the Malone MicroSport trailer that weighs 197 lbs. This is still a steel trailer though as we don't offer an aluminum option.
view full answer... - Recommended Tire and Wheel Upgrade For Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535I recommend upgrading to the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 for the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535. This radial tire is only roughly 3/4" taller than the stock tires which come on the trailer. The tires have a slightly higher load capacity which may cause the trailer to bounce more when unloaded due to the stiffer side walls. It is also speed rated up to 81mph and radial tires will run cooler for increased tread life.
view full answer... - Is There a Foldable Trailer That Will Work with a Sea Eagle Fastcat14 Inflatable Boat Your Sea Eagle Fastcat14 inflatable boat provides some challenges, mainly in the foldable category. We do have the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 which has the length, width and weight capacity needed. But, it is not foldable. The problem you are running into, is the width of the boat. I do not see a foldable option that also has the width that you are needing. The closest we have in something that can be made smaller is the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. This trailer...
view full answer... - Fold-Away Coupler for the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer Part # MPG535If you are referring to the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer part # MPG535 then the correct fold-away is the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB230101. If this is not the trailer you are referring to then please let me know what the height and width of the tongue on the trailer is.

view full answer... - Can The Malone Sliding Storage Drawer Be Placed On The Rear Of The Malone MegaSport Trailer?The Sliding Storage Drawer for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG537 can only be mounted in front of the axle on the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535. It has to have the support rails under the storage drawer for the sliders to attach. It will not fit where the basket is on the Malone MegaSport Trailer with Saddle Style Carriers # MPG550-U.
view full answer... - Will the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer Work To Carry BikesThe Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer part # MPG535 is not offered with bike carriers included but we do have some great options to use with this trailer. For a bike carrier, you can go with frame mount options like the Swagman Upright Roof Mounted Bike Carrier part # S64720, or wheel mount options like the Malone Pilot TC ST Roof Bike Rack part # MPG2103.
view full answer... - Trailer for 16 Foot Flat-Bottom BoatWe do have an option similar to the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer with Bunks # CE48870 that will accept a 16 foot flat bottom boat. What you will need is the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer # MPG535 with the Bunk Kit for Malone MegaSport Trailer # MPG561. This is the only trailer that will work for a boat that long, as it is designed for boats up to 20 feet in length. I have added links below to video reviews of both the trailer and bunk kit for you to take a look at.

We still love our Malone Megasport trailer. We can haul our 4 Eddyline kayaks without having to stand on a step stool to lift them on to our car or truck. I did order the Fulton bolt on fold away hinge kitalso from etrailer and installed it so the trailer more easily fits into our garage. The trailer was a great investment for us!
