Expert Answers about Honda Kayak Trailer

• Can The Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Be Backed Into Water To Launch A Kayak
• Hey Drew, Yakima does not recommend backing the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 into the water because the bearings are sealed and water could end up ruining the hubs. This trailer is more so designed just for getting your kayaks/accessories to your destination and not intended for use launching your kayaks. The Malone kayak trailers you mentioned are marine-grade and would be capable of being backed into the water to easily launch and recover your kayaks. We offer a crossbar-style...

• Is There a Way to Strap Kayak Down Better to Carrier So it Won't Twist On Rack
• Hey Holly, I am not totally sure which kayak carrier you are using on your trailer but if the kayak is moving on the carrier the solution would be to use more straps to secure it better to the rack and bars. For that we have the replacement strap part # TH39YY that could work great for this.

• Is There A Trailer Hitch That Will Fit A 2006 Chevy Aveo?
• I am sorry to hear about your accident Shane and I hope you make a speedy and full recovery. It is pretty cool that you are still able and willing to get out there and fish though. I am happy to tell you that we do have a trailer hitch available for your 2006 Chevy Aveo. For that I recommend the Curt Class 1 Trailer Hitch # C11306. This hitch is rated for towing up to 2,000 lbs, which will definitely be sufficient to pull a lightweight kayak trailer and a kayak or two. Installation will...

• Can Thule TracRac Cantilever Extension be Used to Carry Kayaks
• The Thule T-Rac Pro2 Cantilever # TH37002XT-EX can be used to carry kayaks but if there's a fifth wheel trailer being towed most likely the kayaks wouldn't be carried far enough forward to not interfere with the nose of the trailer. But if you used it with a front hitch mounted T Load carrier like the Rhino Rack part # RTL002 you'd be able to carry it far enough forward.

• Can Stealth Hitch for 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Tow Small Kayak Trailer
• The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH49ZR will be able to tow your kayak trailer as long as it does not exceed 3,500 lbs. I highly doubt your trailer and kayak weigh that much combined so it shouldn't be a problem. When you add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # SH82VR the gross towing weight for the hitch is 3,500 lbs. You will also need to double check the towing capacity of your 2021 VW Tiguan. You will be limited...

• Best Way to Increase 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Distance to Trailer for Carrying Longer Kayak on Roo
• I definitely have a creative solution for you, Kelly! Initially I was looking at the roof rack as well, but since your 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L uses fixed mounting points there isn't a way to adjust the kayak carriers forward. Since we can't mess with the roof side of the equation we can actually look at your connection with your trailer instead and how we can increase the space between your Jeep and your 2020 20FBS Geo Pro. Your trailer will have a GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating)...

• Recommended Kayak Trailer w/ a Low Bunk Height
• Since you're worried about height, I recommend the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer item # MAL25FR. The LowBed trailer item # MAL25FR has bunk boards that sit only 22" off the ground compared to the MicroSport Trailer item # MPG461B2 which sits 30" off the ground. Other then that both trailers are extremely similar because they are each built on the same platform. Both will work with your Old Town 106 kayaks. The bunks will do a great job of supporting your kayaks. They are also really...

• Recommended Kayak Carrier, Hitch, and Bike Rack for a 2022 Toyota Venza
• Hey Lori, I'm not seeing anywhere where about not condoning towing. In any case, for your 800 lb trailer you can use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25AR, which has a max weight capacity of 3,500 lbs and a max tongue weight of 525 lbs. For a kayak carrier, I recommend going with the Yakima Kayak Trailer for 2 Kayaks and 2 Bikes # Y34TR which is capable of carrying up top two kayaks weighing up to 80 lbs per boat. Finally, for a 2 bike rack I recommend checking out the Yakima...

• Will a 17 Foot Kayak Fit on a Yakima Rack N Roll Trailer
• Hey Jaime, yes it does look like that the Yakima DeckHand Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04083-2, Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07014, and the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y68DJ should work with the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. This trailer has a max spread of 48", so theoretically everything should fit without knowing the width of your kayak.

• Recommended Hobie Outback Kayak Carrier for a 2005 Ford F-350
• Honestly because your kayaks are so heavy, you're not going to be able to use a standard roof kayak carrier because you'd be overloading your bars. If by "rack on the truck" you're talking about a ladder rack like # TH27000XTB then you can just use 2 of the Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks - 14" Long # MPG159 with the tie downs # MPG306 - or 2 of the Rhino-Rack Nautic 580 Side Loading Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # RR580. If you don't have a ladder rack, then you could use a cantilever...

• Do Straps Need to Run Below Posts to Secure Kayaks on the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer
• Hey Joesph, thanks for the photos! The instructions for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR references anchoring the straps to the bottom of the posts, but if you feel like you have the kayaks properly secured using your current method it kind of boils down to what you feel works best for your application. I will say from experience that if your gut instinct is to use longer straps and secure it around the bottom of the posts then I'd go that route. Anytime...

• Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Fishing Kayak with 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Touring
• Thank you for all of the information! We do have a solution for you to carry a heavier fishing kayak, like the Old Town Predator PDL or the Hobie Outback, on the roof of your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Touring Edition. For your application I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system which consists of their 47" Long WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220, Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH710601, and Fit Kit # TH186047. This system has a 165 lb weight capacity so you can be confident that it...

• Will Yakima HandRoll Kayak Roof Rack Fit Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit
• The opening on the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Roof Rack # Y04082-2 isn't tall enough to completely clamp around the crossbars on the # MPG475. Yakima said that you can still use it if it is clamped onto the side but you will have to make sure it is tight enough to stay secure. Realistically if you want to use the rollers the best thing to do would be swing by a Yakima dealer and test fit to see if they are secure enough to hold your kayak. I think it would be best to go another route so you...

• Roof Rack Kayak Carrier and Hitch Recommendation 2017 Acura RDX
• For your 2017 Acura RDX that has a naked roof the roof rack I would recommend is the Rhino Rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK337 as it's a nicer rack that doesn't have quite as high of a price tag as other options. Then for a kayak carrier the etrailer part # e98878 would work really well. Then for a hitch our highest capacity option that is mostly hidden the etrailer hitch part # e24AR would work really well.

• Hey Chuck, Malone has a spare tire and mount for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer for a Heavy Kayak # MAL73FR with part # MAL33FR. It's just a simple U-bolt that you'll use to clamp the wheel to the frame of the trailer, just like the picture below.

• Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2009 Smart fortwo
• Hi Cheri, The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11020 is the only fit we currently have and is incompatible with Brabus models so you'll want to determine your model before purchasing anything. If you find you don't have a Brabus model then you can install the hitch and a 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector w/ 72" Harness # 18252 in order to transfer your light signals through to the kayak trailer.

• Is Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch On a 2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness
• Hey Paul, it looks like in order to install a hitch on your 2023 Subaru Outback you're going to need to do some fascia trimming so that part is going to be non-optionable. As far as your vehicle not having raised rails you'd need to add a set because the Rhino-Rack Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # S512 does not come with any bars. Right now I'm not seeing anything for the Subaru Outback without bars, so you'd probably need to get them added via the dealer. Once you have the...

• Recommended Roof Rack For A 2018 Chevy Equinox Hauling A Kayak And Bike
• Hey William, If your 2018 Chevy Equinox has rails that run from front to back then I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 and TimberLine Towers # Y33TR. If you have a naked roof then you'll need the following roof rack components: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK488 To haul the kayak you can can clamp on a carrier like the Rhino-Rack...
