Best Kayak Rack for a 14 Foot Tandem Kayak on a 2009 Mazda 6

Question:

Hi, Why the sr5513 rack is not for use for tandem kayak. My Pelican Unison 136t fits the specs required for the sr5513 as it s 31in wide and 70lbs weight. What J Rack do you suggest else? Thx in advance PS: - Kayak tendam 14ft, 31in wide and 70lb - crossbar Thule aerobar

I reached out to Sport Rack to confirm if the Sport Rack Kayak Carrier, part # SR5513 can be used with tandem Kayaks and they confirmed that it is useable with tandem kayaks.

I do recommend adding a set of Malone Quick-Lash loops, part # MPG308. These will extend a tie-down point from your hood or trunk and make securing the kayak overall easier.
