Expert Answers about Chevrolet Kayak Trailer


  • Recommended Kayak Carrier That Can Carry Two 13' Kayaks In The Launch Position
  • The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 would work great however with your kayaks being 32" wide each, there won't be enough space to accommodate both kayaks in the launch position. Instead, take a look at the: -Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer with Saddle Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL32FR. This kayak trailer, similar to # CE48870, can carry two kayaks that are up to 13' feet long, but this trailer has a much wider area to be able to carry the two...

  • Trailer To Carry Two Hobie Mirage Outback Kayaks
  • Unfortunately The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 would not be able to carry your two Hobie Mirage Outback Kayaks because they're 34 inches wide and this trailer can hold up to 60 inches wide. I would recommend The Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT. This trailer has 78 inch crossbars and can hold up to 500 pounds. Each Kayak per the Hobie website shows your kayak weighs 85 pounds. The trailer has submersible LED tail lights and side marker lights and...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for Two 74" Wide Kayaks
  • The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks # CE48870 is going to be a bit too narrow to be able to carry your two kayaks that are 74" wide. This trailer is only 54" wide from fender to fender so with your kayaks being 20" wider this is not going to be the best option in my opinion. I recommend going with the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer - 78" Crossbars - Retractable Tongue # MPG460XT with two of the etrailer Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding # e98878. This...

  • Can a Rooftop Tent be Added to the Malone EcoLight Kayak Trailer
  • There aren't any kits that we have that'll allow you to add a tent and different kayak carriers onto your Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks # MAL63FR. To use a tent, you'd have to use a different trailer like the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G which already has crossbars on it, but unfortunately you still wouldn't be able to carry your kayaks at the same time.

  • Space Conscious Kayak Trailer That'll Allow You To Carry 3 Kayaks
  • I recommend going with the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 over the Malone # MAL63FR with the Thule The Stacker # TH830. This will give you the ability to carry 3 kayaks on their side rather than side by side. The reason I recommend going with this kayak trailer instead is due to the fact that the tongue can be removed to save a ton of space, and will reduce the trailer down to being only 6' long. On top of that, this trailer can support up to 250-lbs, which is more than enough...

  • Best Kayak Trailer for 4 Kayaks
  • I recommend using the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks # MAL63FR because it allows you to carry all 4 kayaks where the MicroSport Trailer # MPG461GU is setup for 2 kayaks. The XtraLight trailer has a 275-lbs total capacity, so as long as your kayaks don't weigh more than that combined it would be a good choice to carry all your boats. The XtraLight is designed for use with a 2" hitch ball and comes with a 4 way trailer connector. If you need the added...

  • Kickstand Jack Recommendation For A Malone Microsport Trailer
  • Yes we do! For the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks # MPG461B2, take a look at the: -Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack w/ Caster # F77CR. This jack will work great with your MicroSport trailer, has a heavier duty powder coat to protect the jack from rust and keep the paint fresh, and also has a nice swing up feature that makes this easy to stow when not in use. Additionally, this jack also has a lift capacity of 1,200lbs, and a maximum lift height of 10". Attached is...

  • Best Way to Carry a Kayak with a 2012 Toyota Prius IV and Solar Panel Roof
  • To transport a kayak with your 2012 Toyota Prius IV that has the sunroof you'll need to install a hitch and tow a small watercraft trailer. There are roof rack fitments for your vehicle but only if the solar panels aren't present. Thule used to have this listed but I believe they failed to add it to the new Evo roof rack line when they came out with it a few years ago. In order to use a trailer to carry your kayak I recommend using the following parts: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #...

  • Higher Weight Capacity J Style Kayak Carrier Compatible with Malone MicroSport Trailer
  • When it comes to carrying your 88-lbs kayak carrier on the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG462G2, it's not the trailer with that capacity but the Malone J-Pro Kayak Carrier # MPG117MD that has the 75-lbs capacity. You're not going to damage the trailer, but the carriers may not be able to handle the additional weight. With that said, you could swap out the Malone carrier that is included and use the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Fixed - Universal Mount # S510 and can carry up to 99-lbs....

  • I recommend the Malone MegaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG207 to carry your Hobie Pro Angler 14. The Malone fits onto the Yakima round bars and has a maximum weight capacity of 150 pounds. From my research the kayak weighs between 110 to 140 pounds so this is a great option for you.

  • How to Gain Clearance Between Vehicle and Trailer Load
  • There isn't a defined amount of distance you need to have between your tow vehicle and the kayaks on your trailer. You'll have the most issue while turning so I recommend testing to see how well they work in an empty parking lot or somewhere like that. To give yourself more clearance you can use a longer ball mount. The Brophy # BM20 measures 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. This will help keep the kayaks further from you SUV to help...

  • Recommended Trailer to Carry 2 Kayaks and 2 Bikes
  • I have a solution for you, but the crossbar spread on the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer - 78" # MPG464-LB is going to be too wide to allow you to carry bikes. Most roof rack mounted bike carriers need a crossbar spread no more than 38" apart, and the MicroSport LowBed trailers have a minimum spacing of 44". However, the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 78" # Y08107 can be oriented with a minimum crossbar spread of 36", which is compatible with most roof rack style bike carriers. This...

  • Recommend Kayak Trailer With 12 Inch Wheels
  • You can change the 8 inch wheels on The CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks - 8 inch Wheels # CE48810. You will have to raise the fenders 2 inches to make up the 2 inch height difference, or you have to go to the larger one The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks - 12 inch Wheels # CE48870. I attached a review video link below.

  • How to Transport 4 Kayaks with a 2016 Ford Escape
  • To carry 4 kayaks you would need to go with the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier # RRS520 which allows you to stack 2 on either side of it (see attached picture). This option has a 165 lb weight capacity. There are 2 concerns when it comes to carrying these on your 2016 Ford Escape; room and weight capacity. You may have limited room for all 4 kayaks so the Rhino-Rack option may be your best choice, but even then if the weight capacity of your roof or roof rack is lower than the capacity...
