I am immensely grateful for your outstanding video on solo loading, securing, and transporting a heavy kayak onto a Jeep Wrangler. It was the most informative resource I found! Initially, I had concerns about managing my new 12ft, 50lb kayak by myself, but your thorough step-by-step tutorial gave me the confidence to proceed with the purchase. Thanks to your guidance, I felt fully capable of handling the kayak on my own. Your video was instrumental in my decision to buy a kayak, and I couldn't have done it without your help!

Honestly, I've been looking at the Seawings for myself, and your video just made up my mind. Thank you for doing one for complete beginners like me. I'm a short gal, putting a Delta kayak on a large SUV, and I wasnt sure if I could do it. I also wasnt sure about the tie downs and how to loop everything. I am definately saving this one, and will be referring to it often. Thanks again!!! Awesome job!

Oh good, glad the video could add some more info for your decisions. I still love my sea wing. The only tiny issues have been (1) I lost one of the end caps (but it doesn't matter too much) and (2) it does make a whistling noise when I drive so I take it off in between kayak trips. But I love it because it's easy to load and I feel secure about the boat staying up there during transport.

a couple of things if you cover your rear window with a towei.then you won't scratch the shirt out of the glass when loading and unloading your yak if you carry your yak upside down then it won't fill with water on long trips in the rain if you intall grab handles just fore and aft of your cockpit then it;s a lot easier to lift and move your yak around

Those are my old tie downs and they came in a set (Thule maybe?). I think I'm still using those same straps. Anyway I looked on Amazon for ratchet tie down straps and there are some good looking ones. The ones with the loop at the end (instead of a mere hook) seem better to me.

Thanks. Six years but the Jeep did not hold up so I traded it in and got a more practical Subaru. Therefore I had to change bars. My Malone Seawing had a piece of the wing randomly unglue and break off so the company sent me a brand new one at no charge!!! There is another video on my channel showing the Subaru and the new bars.

Awesome video! I 2 sets of the Seawing and am having a hard time with the kayak swiveling in the rack once it’s all tied down no matter how tied I pull the cam buckles. My hull is a deep one so the racks hit the boat on the side; quite elevated from the flat seat of the racks. Have you had the same problem? By the way... was that Exeter NH? I paddle that often. Small world!!!
@RachelWhelton
@RachelWhelton 4 жыл бұрын
Hi. Yeah - Exeter. I hit it at the low tide but I should try again. My kayak doesn't move at all in the rack. It isn't deep or super wide. It always looks rather precarious but then seems sturdy when I drive. It doesn't touch the bottom of the rack but the sides seem to hug it when I strap it down.

Rachel Whelton sorry typo.. my hull ISN’T a deep one. I’m so glad you posted this video. Etrailer’s video on how to tied down doesn’t have the demonstrator going through the cross bars. I called Malone who was quite surprised to hear that and they are going to be contacting them about the error in the video. I’ve only transported once this season so far and apparently incorrectly. You’re a Godsend. THANK YOU!!
