Kayak Saddle Recommendation For CE Smith Boat And Kayak Trailer Carrying 2021 Hobie Outback Kayak

Question:

Is it possible to add kayak saddles to this trailer? If yes, can you tell me 1. What type I should get I have this trailer, and a 2021 Hobie Outback 2. Where I should mount it: to the frame? or to the bunks? Thanks.

Yes, you can use kayak saddles with the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870.

I recommend the Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH895. These saddles will conform to the shape of your 2021 Hobie Outback for a more secure and stable mount. The flexible rubber pads will protect your kayak from damage and hold it place.

I would mount the saddles to the bunks as this will allow you to carry the kayak higher. I feel this is important with your Hobie Outback having the Kick-Up Turbo Fins and Rudder to protect them from road hazard damage.
