Product was as advertised, however it was missing four bolts that I had to get at a hardware store, but other than that it was fine. Service from etrailer team was outstanding.
by: Chad07/24/2019
I've been using the product for two summers now and it is perfect for what I'm using it for. My canoe is an Old Town Discovery 133, it's very wide and I initially had trouble fitting it in the brackets with how relatively narrow my Rav4 is, but the instructions that came with them mentioned I could just flip them around. That worked perfectly.
I only use the brackets and the tie down straps from the kit to tie the boat to the crossbars, and then use the painter lines I put on the bow and stern of the boat to tie those to the car. That rides on the highway very easily with no shifting. With two people, the load/unload time is around 10 minutes as long as one person knows what they are doing.
This kit had exactly what I was looking for, seems built to last, and if I ever need another kit to help tie a canoe to a car then I know I can trust this product to get the job done safely and reliably.

I purchased the product to make it possible to haul a 30+ year-old White fiberglass canoe on the standard roof-rack of a 2013 Subaru Outback. The kit works very well, but some experimentation was involved. Due to the tapering width of the canoe, I use haul kit with the front guides reversed to face the inside of the canoe gunwhales. In the back the guides are used as intended, facing the outside of the gunwhales.

works great and don't slip on crossbar.
by: Lawrence 07/02/2021
The canoe brackets are well made, sturdy and really cling in place on the round cross bars. We've used them several times and like them a lot. The only problem, apparently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was that it took over three months to arrive.
by: Edward02/28/2013
it is a decent cheap solution to putting a canoe on a factory rack. with some fiddling around i got the brackets onto my 99 explorer crossbars. the canoe goes on easily and you can really make it very secure using all the straps and tie-downs that are included. the bad thing is it is difficult to get canoe down by yourself it has to be lifted up and over the Keelover brackets. two people- no problem
by: christy04/16/2015
Easy to install with Ikea-like instructions. It held a heavy 15' fiberglass canoe to the top of my 2013 Subaru perfectly for more than 1000 miles. I checked the straps at every stop and only had to tighten them once, and not very much at that. Excellent system when using the factory roof rack. Etrailer.com was great at answering my questions and ensuring that I got what I needed.
by: Bill A.03/22/2014
Managers at Scheels Store were impressed with the product and how easily it adapted on the vehicle (99 GMC Yukon) and how the canoe easily mated and secured onto the carrier. It was a lot better product for carrying canoes than was offered by Cabellas or Scheels. It secured our new canoe perfectly for our drive home 65 miles away. No shifting or loosening of the tie-downs. Top Notch.

Great! Good quality worked great
by: Paul B03/09/2016
In 2015 I purchased roof racks and a t hitch for my new Tahoe. The purpose was to allow me to load and haul a canoe. I love the products. Ordering and delivery could not have been easier.
by: Norm L.09/30/2013
Very happy with the product. I had a hard time finding clips for my factory luggage rack that would hold my wood strip securely in place on the roof of my CRV. These clips are perfect and the price was outstanding since the kit included all of the straps as well. I've never used etrailer before but I've since bookmarked them for future use.
by: Sam10/01/2018
ETrailer.com is awesome. I'm not real happy with the road Yakima is going down but I've been using their racks for over 30 years. ETrailer's service and prices are great!
by: John 06/26/2020
Just received product, but I'm enthusiastic about putting it to use to standardize my kayak transport.
Good service from etrailer.

While this wasn't the product we originally ordered, this is the replacement. It works as well and secures just as easy as the older model.

Easy to install and very secure.

Haven't used this item yet but based on years of canoeing it looks complete.

See what our Experts say about this Yakima Watersport Carriers
- Does Yakima KeelOver Carrier Work for CanoeYes, the Yakima KeelOver Canoe Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04069 will work with a canoe.
view full answer... - Does Yakima Keelover Canoe Carrier Fit 2019 Mazda CX-5 with OEM CrossbarsThe Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069 that you referenced does fit the OEM crossbars of your 2019 Mazda CX-5. There isn't a way to order it without the straps though so you'd have to order the complete kit. Based on the price of the straps separately you wouldn't save too much money even if that option was available.
view full answer... - Fitting Yakima Keel Overs to Rhino Rack HD BarsThe Yakima Keel Overs, part # Y04069 can fit bars up to 3-1/2 inches tall by 3-1/2 inches wide, so they will fit onto the Rhino Rack HD bars that measure 1-5/8 inches wide by 1-7/8 inches tall.
view full answer... - Will Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier Fir Factory Roof Rack On 2017 Subaru ForesterYou can take a quick measurement of your crossbars on the roof of your Forester to see if the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier, part # Y04069 will work with them. The Keelover will fit crossbars with a maximum dimension of 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches. If your crossbars are that size or smaller then the # Y04069 will work great on your Forester.
view full answer... - What is the Length and Bar Spread of Rola Roof Rack 59757 for a 2010 Honda AccordThe bar spread of Rola roof rack 59757 is 27-1/2 inches (measured from the center of one bar to the center of the other bar). Because the vehicle is wider at one end, the bars are different lengths. One is 1,015mm or 39.9 inches long. The other bar is 985mm or 38.8 inches long. You can carry a 15 foot canoe on this rack provided that the canoe is within the capacity of the 2010- Honda Accord roof (check owners manual and/or Honda). For a canoe carrier I recommend the simple Yakima KeelOver,...
view full answer... - Will the Yakima KeelOver fit Crossbars of the 2013 Subaru Outback WagonI checked with Yakima and they list the Keelover part # Y04069 as a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2013 Subaru Outback Wagon so I would recommend it for you. As long as the weight of your canoe is less than the roof capacity of your vehicle this should work well for you.
view full answer... - Replacement Saddles For Yakima Roof Mounted Canoe Carrying SystemNo, we do not sell the saddles separately. You would have to purchase The Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal Mount # Y04069 as a full kit. The kit has a simple, tool-free installation with universal mounting hardware. The kit has a durable, over-molded rubber pad on the brackets that stabilize and cushion the canoe's gunwales.

To Find out if it will work with both your 2017 Toyota Tacoma and your 2014 Subaru Outback, you can take a quick measurement of the crossbars. The Keelover fits crossbars with a maximum dimension of 3-1/2 inches tall x 3-1/2 inches wide. If your crossbars are that size or smaller then the Yakima KeelOver...
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Carrying Kayak Upside Down on Rhino Rack BarsFor a kayak carrier designed for securing your kayak with it facing down the KeelOver part # Y04069 would be a great option that would fit your Rhino Rack aero crossbars. This comes with straps for the front and back of the kayaks as well.
view full answer... - Can Yakima Keelover be Used Underneath Canoe More Bar Space is NeededYes, you can flip the Yakima Keelover part # Y04069 so that the housing is inside of the canoe if you like. I attached a picture I took from the instructions that shows that this is an option you have.

- Will the Yakima KeelOver Canoe Carrier Fit the Factory Roof Rack on a 2015 Hyundai Santa FeYes, I checked with Yakima and the KeelOver canoe carrier # Y04069 does fit the factory roof rack on your 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe. Yakima lists the roof rack capacity of the factory rack on your Santa Fe at 165 pounds. However you will want to double check with the owners manual and/or Hyundai prior to loading.
view full answer... - Roof Rack Canoe Carrier Solution for CrossbarsEasiest solution might be a roof rack canoe carrier like the Yakima KeelOver part # Y04069 which comes with attachments that hold the canoe to the crossbars and then straps that hold the front and back of the boat.
view full answer... - Mounting Hardware Needed to Mount Older Yakima Accessories to Aero-Style CrossbarsIf you have a variety of older Yakima products that you want to mount to crossbars that are 2-1/2" wide x 3/4" tall then the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 would be your best bet. These adapters fit a wide variety of Yakima products but they are somewhat specific. If you can let me know what products you are wanting to mount them on I can see about verifying if these will fit or what other parts you may need.

- Can Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Carry A 16 Ft CanoeI went to our warehouse and took some measurements of the Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer, part # Y08107. I have attached a photo of the trailer with the dimensions shown. From the center of the hitch ball coupler to the center of the front crossbar in its forward most position it measures 83 inches. The crossbars can be spread 48 inches. This would give you 1-1/2 inches of trailer behind the rear crossbar. That means 70 inches of your canoe will hang off the back of the trailer if you place...

- Canoe Carrier Hull Facing Down on a Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107For a canoe carrier that would allow you to transport it with the hull facing down on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer part # Y08107 that you referenced you would want the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069. This rack is designed for transporting a kayak or canoe with the hull facing down. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
view full answer... - What Canoe Saddles and Load Assist do You Recommend for Thule Crossbars on My 2022 Volvo V60?Great questions. I went ahead and reached out to my tech at Yakima, and he said that he does not recommend using the Yakima SweetRoll # Y04074. This is because the SweetRoll was specially designed for kayaks and paddleboards and does not have the same support as a canoe carrier. Based on your question, I am assuming you have Thule crossbars on your 2022 Volvo V60 Cross Country. Even though the SweetRoll technically fits with Thule crossbars, I recommend the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for Camper Shell on Top of 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500For a roof rack to install on the top of your camper shell on your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 we have the Yakima Roof Rack # Y57CV which is designed for just what you need. Then for a canoe carrier part # Y04069 would be a great option that allows you to carry the canoe upside down.
view full answer... - Will Yakima KeelOver Fit Yakima Roof Rack With HD Crossbars On 2020 GMC Sierra 1500The Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal Mount # Y04069 you have will work with Crossbars up to 3 1/2 inch x 3 1/2 inch. The Yakima Roof Rack systems like the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 500 lbs - 78" Crossbars # Y01151-59 is a confirmed fit for your 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 and has crossbars that are 3 inch x 1 1/2 inch and will work with your Yakima KeelOver # Y04069. I included a video for the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-59...
view full answer... - Recommended Canoe Carrier for Factory Roof Rack of a 2011 Subaru OutbackFor a gunwhale style bracket I recommend the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal Mount # Y04069. This does require that the canoe is slightly within the factory crossbar width. For a saddle style that does not require that, I recommend the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Universal Mount # S65145. This is designed to be compatible with canoes and factory roof racks like the one on your 2011 Subaru Outback.
view full answer... - Carrier Needed for 16 Canoe on 2015 Chrysler Town and CountryFrom what I could find I'm pretty sure you can use the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069 to carry your canoe with the OEM roof rack bars on your 2015 Chrysler Town and Country. You just have to make sure that the crossbar spread (length from front of front crossbar to front or rear crossbar) is at least 30" to safely do so. I do also recommend using the Thule Water Slide Non-Skid Loading Mat # TH854 to help keep your canoe and minivan from scratching each other.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install Canoe Carrier on 2021 Subaru Outback with OEM BarsTo install a canoe carrier like the Yakima KeelOver part # Y04069 on your 2021 Subaru Outback with the factory bars you'd have to install a set of aftermarket crossbars like the Malone rack part # MPG216 since your current bars aren't able to have this rack attach directly. This rack would attach to the current raised side rails.
view full answer... - Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Honda CR-V with Factory CrossbarsI have a solution for you, but I can't recommend you use the Yakima KeelOver part # Y04069 backwards. Instead you'd want to use Swagman Exo Aero # S65145 which installs on the bars and then allows you to carry the canoe right side up and would prevent the width issues you mentioned. I attached a picture of it used to carry a kayak but it would work with a canoe in the same way.

- Can a Canoe Carried on the Roof be Tied Down to a Trailer Hitch on a 2011 Subaru Outback WagonYou can tie off the bow or stern of the canoes to a single point such as the safety chain loop on a trailer hitch or a tow hook. Provided that the canoe is secured to a safe place at the front and rear of the vehicle and cannot come loose and does not affect normal use of the vehicle you ca attached then wherever you want. Thule also has a neat item, Malone Hood loops # MPG308. These tie downs have a cylinder that you would close under the hood or trunk of a vehicle while leaving the strap...
view full answer... - Roof Rack for 2021 Subaru Forester to Carry CanoeFor your 2021 Subaru Forester a roof rack you can use that will allow you to carry a canoe use the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG215. This is an aero shaped flush bar rack that would look great and also offer minimal wind noise compared to other configurations. Then for a carrier that can hold your canoe use the Yakima KeelOver # Y04069.

1 year later and I havent even taken the brackets off of my car. They are still in perfect condition, dont slip, and Ive never had an issue hauling my canoe on the highway. Easiest way to transport a canoe without an actual canoe trailer.
