Best Kayak Carriers for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailers
Question:
I have a Megasport Malone trailer that I use for transporting my kayaks. However, my Thule saddles for the kayaks don't fit on the Malone bars. Do you have something that I can use to haul my kayaks?

Expert Reply:
When using a Malone Megasport Kayak Trailer like # MPG535, you need kayak carriers that can fit around the 1-1/4" square Malone crossbars without T-Tracks. It is possible that your Thule saddles are t-track mounted or its clamps are incompatible with square bars.
Some Malone MegaSport trailer owners like to go with other Malone products. The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG107MD is a popular option due to its wing-style design that allows you to take full use of the long crossbar space on your MegaSport. TheMalone SaddleUp Pro # MPG110MD is another good option if you want more adjustability. This works best when you have certain kayaks that you know you'll be carrying a lot. That way you can position the saddles to the best fit for you once, then you don't have to worry about them again. I have a video of these cradles already attached to a Malone MegaSport Trailer # MPG550-U attached at the bottom of this page.
If you're carrying more kayaks and you want to maximize your space, then a J-Style like the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 is recommended. We've used these carriers on Malone trailers and can confirm their fit around the bars.
