great, also used for securing items in pickup



by:

Great product for securing the front and rear of a kayak. Once assembled its quick and easy to use. The ratchet holds the line taut without loosening. Just give a tug on the line to test tightness during a trip. I did need a refresher on how to tie a bowline knot. My boy scout days have long been over. Would buy again.



by:

Work great. Easy to use. Plastic tubing nice so rope doesn't scrape car paint.

Great quality and super strong. Very easy to use.

  • What Accessory Can I Use to Transport My Two Vibe Sea Ghost Kayaks on My 2016 Jeep Patriot?
    For an accessory that will allow you to secure and transport your two Vibe Sea Ghost kayaks, I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. The JayLow will fit your factory crossbars on your 2016 Jeep Patriot if they measure less than 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-11/16 inches tall. The JayLow is a great option because it has built-in ramps that help you load the cradles from the side of your vehicle. You can also add extra security to the JayLow with the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock...

  • Bike Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2018 Hyundai Kona with a Yakima Roof Rack
    The Yakima aero bars that come with the roof rack, parts # Y00425, # Y00145, and # Y06022 for your 2018 Hyundai Kona, are actually a standard size so there are many options for you to choose from! If you are looking for the best roof mount bike rack out there then I highly recommend the Thule UpRide # TH599000. This is a wheel mount bike rack that is made of aluminum so it is lightweight and won't be prone to rust. It also features a ratcheting system for one of the easiest ways to secure...

  • Safety Chains Recommendation For Trailer Carrying Kayak
    If you are talking about safety chains that act like a backup if the trailer should become disconnected, I recommend the Laclede Safety Chain , part # 2118-348-04. This chain is 48 inches long and features 7/16 inch hooks on both ends. They are rated Class lll and have a 5,000 lb minimum breaking strength. If you are asking about tie-downs for your kayak on a trailer you tow behind your vehicle you will want to make sure the bow and stern are both secured. When kayaks are carried on...

  • SportRack Roof Rack to Fit the 2013 Nissan Juke
    Your 2013 Nissan Juke isn't a long vehicle by any means but it does have plenty of space to mount the SportRack roof rack, part # SR1010. So you don't need the short-roof adapter, part # SR1116, like some vehicles do. According to the roof rack's installation details, which I've linked on this page for you, the front crossbar should sit 10 inches towards the windshield from the door seam (measurement A) and the rear crossbar sits 26 inches behind the front crossbar (measurement B). I...

  • Carrier for 2 Kayaks on 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with Factory Roof Rack
    It's likely going to fit just fine but I checked with Thule and they haven't tested the Hull-A-Port XT on the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek as of yet so I can't say with certainty. It does fit the 2018 and the 2019 is the same generation so that's a good sign. A similar kayak carrier is the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073. It is confirmed, by Yakima, to fit the 2019 Crosstrek and will also carry both your kayaks. I've linked videos on both of the carriers. With either of them I recommend adding...

  • Can a 2012 Chevy Equinox with Factory Roof Rack Carry 2 Kayaks
    I checked a couple of different resources and it looks like the factory roof rack and crossbars on a 2012 Chevy Equinox are rated for 150 pounds. But you will want to check the vehicle owners manual and/or Chevy to confirm that number. If it is 150 pounds you should be able to carry 2 kayaks on J-style carriers easily. The Yakima JayLow, # Y04073, is listed as a direct fit for your vehicle. You can use this carrier for 2 kayaks, one will sit on the cradles and one will need to be strapped...

  • Recommendation for 2 Kayak Carrier for Rola Roof Rack 59766 on 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
    For the Rola Sports Series Roof Rack 59766 you referenced for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, I recommend the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073. It's a J-style carrier that allows you to carry 2 kayaks on your car at once. Use part # Y04031 for a second set of tie-downs. You might be interested in the Malone Hood Loops # MPG308, which establishes a better attachment point for the bow/stern tie-downs. They can be installed directly on your vehicle with no drilling required and come with a limited...

  • Easily Loading and Carrying 2 Kayaks on a 2017 GMC Denali XL
    A roof rack is required first and if you are looking to ease the loading, a lift assist would be important too. The Yukon XL roof weight limit is 150 pounds so that is important in selecting rails, loading 2 kayaks, and their carriers. Yakima makes a solid roof rack option with their 66" roof rack system including parts # Y00410, # Y53TR, # Y03536, # Y00243 A side loading kayak carrier such as the Thule Hullavator # TH898 would help you a great deal loading kayaks. The video below...

  • Recommendation for Transporting 2 Kayaks on 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Roof Rack
    The Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073 referenced in your question will work great for transporting your kayaks as long as the factory crossbars on your Subaru Outback Wagon are not wider than 3-1/2 inches or taller than 1-11/16 inches. There should also be a minimum crossbar spread (distance between the two crossbars) of 24 inches. You will have no issue mounting both of your kayaks with this system. You can actually safely secure both of your kayaks using just one of these systems,...

  • Load Assist Recommendation for Rhino Rack Euro Square Crossbars
    I recommend the Rhino-Rack Universal Side Loader # RR-RUSL that you referenced for loading your 10 foot NuCanoe on the Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RREB126B on your 2013 Toyota Prius. The Side Loader is designed to work with loads of up to 132 pounds, with the telescoping pole being required to assist loads greater than 44 pounds. The load assist with the arm support will maintain stability while you load your kayak. The 67 pound weight of your watercraft is well within the capacity of this load...

  • Kayak Carrier to Carry 2 Kayaks on the Roof of a 2017 Ford Focus.
    If you don't already have a roof rack on your 2017 Ford Focus I recommend starting with the Rola, part # R5101. This rack has a maximum weight capacity of 165 pounds which is the highest rated for your car. You'll need to verify that the Focus's roof can handle the weight of both kayaks before carrying them because you will still be limited by the roof's capacity. Then to carry the kayaks on the rack you can use the Yakima JayLow # Y04073. It's light (A little over 10 pounds total)...

  • Kayak Carrier to Carry a Jackson Kilroy Kayak on a 2015 Lexus RX350 and Fits Yakima Round Bars
    If your 2015 Lexus RX350 has a factory roof rack with the crossbars already then you can use a kayak carrier that fits your current bars as well as the Yakima bars on the Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. I recommend the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 because of the versatility. The JayLow is designed to carry one or two kayaks and can also be folded down when not in use. The tie-down straps for the first kayak are included. If you need a second set use # Y04031. The JayLow can also be locked...

  • How to Carry 4 Kayaks on a TracRac Ladder Rack
    Because the TracRac ladder rack crossbars are so large there are no kayak carriers that will fit them. You would have to rest the kayaks on the bars and use load stops such as # TA44700 to help hold them up. Then you would use some straps such as # RTD3 to secure them to the bars. And you would tie off the bows and sterns using a tie down set such as # Y04031.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Rack Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Volt
    The spread of the Inno roof racks like the part numbers # INXB123-130, # INXS250, and # INK624 is narrower at 26 inches but this still is the best option for carrying two kayaks like witih the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 which can carry up to 2 kayaks. The JayLow comes with straps for one kayak. So for additional straps you'd want to use the part # Y04031 and you'd be set. None of the hitch mounted load supports we carry fit 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches.

  • Roof Rack and Carriers for 2 Kayaks on a 2017 Subaru Impreza Hatchback with Naked Roof
    Your 2017 Subaru Impreza has what is called a naked roof with factory fixed mounting points. The parts you have listed, # RRVA126B-2 for the bars, # RRRLKVA for the feet, and # DK285 for the fit kit, are indeed the right parts for your vehicle! Once installed you will definitely be able to install 2 of the Rhino-Rack J-Style carriers # S512 but I recommend adding the Expansion Arms # RRS512X which allows you to carry 2 kayaks with one carrier and save you some money. Use # Y04031 for...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation For 2015 Mini Cooper 2 Door
    I am happy to recommend a roof rack and kayak holder for the 2015 Mini Cooper 2 door. I recommend Yakima roof rack part # Y00425 for the bars, part # Y64AR for the feet and ft kit part # Y06009. This is a aerodynamic bar system that will cut down on wind noise and allow you to carry your kayaks. For the Kayaks I recommend, Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier part # Y04073 because you can carry up to 2 kayaks with one carrier compared to most J-style carriers that only allow you to carry 1 kayak....

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier to Transport 2 Kayaks on 2019 Subaru Legacy
    The Inno Aero Crossbar Roof Rack that you referenced, which consists of # INXB145-2 for the two 57 inch Aero Crossbars, # INXS250 for the Through Feet, and # INK439 for the Fit Kit, is confirmed to fit your 2019 Subaru Legacy as long as it is the Sedan model without any existing rails or bars on the roof. In order to safely secure 2 kayaks to these crossbars you will need to add a kayak carrier. For this I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. This is a really nice, versatile...

  • Load Assist for Canoe Onto 2012 Subaru Outback
    Yakima offers the LongArm, part # Y01149-1150. It's a load extender that fits into a trailer hitch receiver. It can be used at the level of a truck bed or the roof. If your factory bars are not round or square, you can use foam pads like the Malone Canoe Carrier # MPG156 to protect your crossbars and help keep your canoe secure. These pads fit naked roofs, round crossbars, square crossbars, aero or elliptical crossbars, and most factory crossbars. This part number comes with a tie-down...

Kayak: - Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks # Y04073 To carry two kayaks with this system you need Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # Y04031.

  • Best Folding Kayak Carrier for Roof Rack With Small Amount of Clearance From Roof
    We have the perfect folding kayak carrier for your 2020 Honda CR-V with crossbars that have a small amount of clearance from your roof, the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073. The reason the JayLow is the best is because it actually clamps to the side of your roof rack's crossbars so the fact you have clearance issues won't come into play with this particular carrier. I have added a photo which shows you how these clamp. The JayLow can carry one kayak in its J-style or two kayaks if...

  • What Ladder Rack Will Work Transporting Kayaks on My 2020 Ford Ranger?
    Since your Gator FX hard folding cover leaves your truck bed's stake pockets open, you will be allowed to mount a stake-mounted ladder rack into the truck with your cover. If you have a 5-foot bed on your 2020 Ford Ranger, I recommend the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A36ZR. The Adarac Pro Series is great because the bases on the ladder rack do not slant inward, which will make it easy to open up your Gator FX cover without rubbing against the rack. In addition, you can...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier For 2022 Toyota Highlander With Bare Roof

For your 2022 Toyota Highlander I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack System which uses 60" Yakima JetStream Crossbars in Black # Y00426, Yakima Base Line Towers # Y28TR, BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06153, and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06132. I do also recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores # Y07204 to the towers to keep them secured to the roof of your Highlander. This system will give you 60" of useable crossbar space with a 165lb weight capacity which will be perfect for a...

  • Can Yakima JayLow Attach to Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket
    The Yakima JawLow part # Y04073 can fit directly to the Yakima Loadwarrior part # Y07070-74 that you referenced. I attached a picture that shows this as well. Using a single Jaylow for two kayaks is an acceptable long drive solution. If it wasn't safe to do this Yakima wouldn't endorse it for that type of use as they are very cautious. Some people prefer the J-style for loading and unloading so two of these racks is also a route you can go with if that's what makes you feel the most comfortable....

    I have a solution for you, however, there is currently no carrier available that is able to safely carry 2 kayaks and 1 SUP. You will need to get 2 individual carriers. In order to mount 2 kayaks and 1 SUP on your 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport with factory crossbars, you will first need to check the weight limit of your roof by contacting the manufacturer or looking in the owner's manual. Also, measure your crossbars along with your kayaks and sup to determine if they will safely fit on your...
