Does Thule Stacker TH830 4-Kayak Carrier Require Additional Straps and Ropes for 4 Kayaks
Question:
I am trying to figure out the rigging for the Thule Stacker with 4 Kayaks. I see the diagram but how do the straps go? Is is two straps for each 2 kayaks on each side of the stacker? So 4 straps for 4 kayaks?

Expert Reply:
Using the Thule Stacker # TH830 multi-kayak carrier with 4 kayaks will require additional bow/stern ropes and additional straps since the carrier comes equipped with enough for one boat.
Each of the 4 kayaks must have its own set of bow/stern tie-down ropes # TH855XT or something similar as well as its own straps to secure it to the Stacker, such as # 753-2030-02, or again, a similar item like # E98876-4. You can certainly use another brand of straps/ropes like # IMF12637 so long as each boat is strapped to the Stacker and also secured at the bow and stern.
