FAQ:
Q: What type of kayak should I carry on the Kayak Stacker?
A: Kayak Stackers work great for most plastic, roto-molded boats. Ask your kayak manufacturer or retailer if carrying your specific boat on edge is advisable.

Q: How many boats can I carry with the Kayak Stacker?
A: Load capacity depends on the vehicle, crossbar length and the weight of the boats. Check the Fit List for information about your vehicle and specific rack options.

Q: How do I tie my kayak to the Kayak Stacker?
A: Download the Kayak Stacker installation instructions for a detailed description of how to tie boats securely. Additionally, always use Bow/Stern Tiedowns to secure the ends of boats to the ends of the vehicle.

Q: Can I use Kayak Stackers on my car?
A: Load capacity varies by vehicle. Look in the Fit List to see what accessories can be used on your vehicle.

Q: When should I use a bow/stern tiedown?
A: Every time! It is essential to tie a boat's ends to the ends of the vehicle to stabilize a boat again the hurricane force winds created by traveling at highway speed. While any non-elastic tie down that is strong enough can be used, a Bow/Stern Tiedown makes the job easy and takes good care of the car.
