        Comments about Yakima BoatLoader:

        I always worried about loading my canoe on top of my truck-especially by myself. I didn't like the thoughts of what damage could occur if the canoe got away from me while placing it up on the rack. I was somewhat skeptical about this product when I first read about it. After watching on-line videos of its' use, and reading numerous, very good reviews, I decided to give it a try.
        I would have to agree with the reviews I read. The device is very easy to install (took about 1-2 minutes), works like a charm, and is very well thought out.
        The loader makes it much easier, and safer, to load a canoe or kayak on top of your vehicle. For myself, this accessory is well worth the money. No regrets on this purchase.

        Comments about Yakima BoatLoader:

        despite the suggestion in the manual, for loading kayaks, best installed on the rear cross bar not the front because typically the heavier end is the stern. If you view youtube demos of this product, you see it's installed same as I state here.

        This is a great product, but it can be easily stolen. I wish it could be secured better to the crossbar. So you take your chances parking your car with it still installed. Taking it off and reinstalling each time would be a hassle.

        This definitely makes my life easier when loading a 70 lbs kayak on my own. No need to strain your back lifting the kayak from the ground.

            A:

            Unfortunately the Boatloader will only work with a Yakima rack. You would need use the mounts for a factory rack to create a Yakima rack and then mount the boatloader to the Yakima rack.
