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: Mitchell 05/30/2023
Great! Good quality worked great
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.
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.

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

- Recommended Roof Rack and Track System for Truck Topper to Carry Canoe on 2012 Toyota Tundra CrewMaxWe can get you the parts needed to install a roof rack on your truck topper so you can haul your canoe. There are advantages to systems in regards to quality and value, and for your application the best fit is from Rhino-Rack, who is known for their quality, which is consistent with other brands, but often not with as high a price tag. What I recommend is: - Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount # Y02-490B This will give you 59 inch crossbars on your camper shell,...
view full answer... - 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...

- Recommended Roof Rack for 2019 Chevy Tahoe and 16 Foot CanoeIt sounds like you are wanting a roof rack for your 2019 Chevy Tahoe. I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack consisting of: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA150B-2 RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRRCH4 Custom RCP Fit Kit # RRRCP43-BK This system is rated for 220 lbs total capacity versus the Yakima 165 lbs or the Thule 150 lbs for this vehicle. The Vortex bars will work with your kayak carrier, canoe carrier, and cargo box. It sounds like...
view full answer... - Front Hitch For Carrying Canoes On A 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4x4In addition to the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31023 for your 2012 GMC Sierra, you are correct that you will also need at least a single roof rack bar like the Darby Turbo rack # DTA968 and a carrier like the LongArm # Y01149-1150 that can tilt down making it easier to load the canoe. It also has an anti-rattle hitch bolt which is something that is needed for these types of carriers. Without an anti-rattle hitch bolt or device there is a lot of movement with these carriers. For...
view full answer... - Option to Carry 21 foot Canoe with Tow Vehicle Towing a CamperThat would be a pretty long canoe to carry on a vehicle roof that is also towing a camper. Without knowing more about that camper you are towing the best route is probably a roof rack on the camper. If it's a pop up we have the # S80510 which would provide a 7 foot long crossbar set for the roof of the camper. Then for a canoe carrier we have the part # Y04069 which would allow you to carry the boat upside down. Could you get me more info on the camper? How long is it? How tall? Maybe...
view full answer... - Does Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier Work on Factory Roof Rack of 2017 Honda OdysseyI checked with Yakima and the KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier # Y04069 will fit the factory roof rack of your 2017 Honda Odyssey. A roof rack means you would have crossbars that go across the vehicle, like in the accompanying photo. I wasn't sure from your wording if you actually have a roof rack with crossbars on your '17 Odyssey or just the raised rails on the side. The KeelOver will require your '17 Odyssey to have some kind of roof rack system and if you don't have the factory rack,...

- Will Yakima KeelOver Canoe Carrier Fit a Kargo Master Congo CageThe Yakima KeelOver canoe carrier, # Y04069, will fit on crossbars are up to 3-1/2 inches tall x 3-1/2 inches wide so it shouldn't be a problem. The Thule Portage canoe carrier, # TH819, would also fit since it will fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. The 1-5/8 inch round bars would not be a problem for this carrier. Another option is to use universal foam blocks # RL100K10. These are basically just foam blocks for cutout for the the bars and for the canoe sides.
view full answer... - How to Carry a Long Canoe and Tow a Trailer with a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HDIn order to haul a 17' long aluminum canoe and tow a trailer with your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, I have two options for you. The first option would be to place part of the canoe on the roof and the other part on a t-load carrier at the rear. For this, I recommend using the Yakima JetStream Crossbars System (Double/Crew Cab Only) which is composed of part # Y00426, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06122 with the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier part # Y04069. This will then allow you...
view full answer... - How to Carry A Canoe with a 2008 Toyota CorollaI may have an option that will work for you, however, I do not recommend carrying the canoe on the bare roof of your 2008 Toyota Corolla. Most vehicles cannot handle more than 50 lbs directly on top of the roof. Instead, I recommend adding a roof rack like the Yakima BaseLine Tower Roof Rack which consists of the following parts. 48 Inch Round Crossbars # Y00408 BaseLine Towers # Y28TR RoundBar Adapter # Y03536 BaseClip Fit Kits # Y06136 and # Y06148 Yakima states that this roof rack...
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... - Recommended Bike, Cargo, and Canoe Carriers for a 2017 Chevy Equinox with Factory Roof RackFor your 2017 Chevy Equinox I recommend using the Thule UpRide # TH599000 for your bikes because of how easy it is to use and you don't have to remove your front wheel to transport your bike. To carry your canoe I highly recommend the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # Lockrack # LR54FR for a few reasons. The first is that it can accommodate pretty much any boat style out there and the second reason is that this carrier has integrated locks that help grip your canoe and eliminate...

- Can a 2008 Honda Odyssey Carry a Kayak and a Canoe at the Same TimeThe ability to carry a canoe and a kayak on the roof of a 2008 Honda Odyssey is going to depend on two factors. It will depend on the weight capacity of the roof and the sizes of the canoe and kayak. For your raised side rails, I recommend adding Thule WingBar # TH711420 and Evo Clamp Feet # TH710401. Then add locks # TH450400. This rack is rated for 150 lb capacity. If you find that your roof can support the weight of your kayak and canoe, there are a few options that may allow you...
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.

You'll want to be careful about opening the sunroof with the roof rack in place. The rack or accessories mounted on it might interfere with the operation of the sunroof. Although the crossbars themselves have a 140 lb weight capacity, you might be limited by the roof capacity of the vehicle if it's capacity...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier for 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with Panoramic RoofSince your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport does NOT have the factory flush side rails that run front to back I recommend Inno roof rack # INXB108-115, # INXS200, and # INK755 because it will fit with or without the panoramic roof. This roof rack is more than capable of handling the canoe at any legal speed limit (which can include speeds of 75 miles per hour depending on where you are in the world). You will want to check the vehicle owner's manual though to see if there are speed restrictions...
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... - 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... - Recommended Roof Rack for a 2010 Honda Fit to Carry a Canoe on Short Road TripsThe Rhino-Rack 2500 with aero crossbars you referenced is a fine roof rack. This particular rack is compatible with many accessories both via clamp-on style and channel-mount style. It is also extremely aerodynamic. The maximum weight capacity is 165 pounds. The parts you need for the rack on your 2010 Honda Fit are # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK154. I went ahead and attached a video of this roof rack installed on 2012 Honda Fit to provide you with perspective. It's always a good idea...
view full answer... - Roof Rack And Canoe Carrier For A 2020 Hyundai Palisade With A Naked RoofFor your 2020 Hyundai Palisade, we do have a couple of options for a roof rack. The first option you can use is the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 with the towers # Y28TR, and the fit kit # Y06145 & # Y06138. These cross bars are rated for 165lbs, and measure 60" long. These cross bars are aerodynamic, have a t-track channel for roof mounted accessories, and will provide a quiet, low-profile option that will work great with your Palisade. The other option you can choose from is...
view full answer... - Recommended Canoe Carrier for 2015 Subaru Outback WagonTo transport your 15 foot canoe on your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon, I recommend first installing a complete roof rack if you do not have one already. If your Subaru has the factory raised side rails that run front to back, I recommend the Rhino Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7975. These two 30-7/8 inch crossbars will mount directly to the side rails on your vehicle to provide an extremely quiet and low profile system. Then for a canoe carrier, I highly recommend the Yakima KeelOver...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer to Carry 16 Foot CanoeYou are absolutely right that for your 16-1/2 foot canoe the best option is a trailer because this is going to make it much, much simpler for you to haul your canoe; you'll be able to spend a lot more time in the water and a lot less time loading and unloading your canoe. I highly recommend the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 because it is essentially a roof rack on wheels and has a low loading height to make it easy to take your canoe on and off. Aside from this, one of the best...

- Recommended Carrier for Kayak or Canoe On 2016 Ford F-250I recommend the Thule DockGrip # TH895. These saddles will work well with kayaks up to 80 lbs in weight. This carrier is for kayaks only. If you are looking to carry a canoe, I recommend the Keelover # Y04069 which will carry a canoe turned upside down. These mounts don't work for both canoe and kayak, but are boat specific. If you don't already have a roof rack for your 2016 Ford F-250 Crew Cab, I recommend the Rhino-Rack consisting of: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum...

First you need to confirm how much your canoe actually weighs. You will also want to confirm either in your owner's manual or via the dealership what the roof weight-bearing capacity is for your version of the Santa Fe with the sunroof and dealer-installed rack crossbars.

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.
