Question:
Hi there, I plan on transporting a Hobie Outback 99lbs on a Honda Pilot with a set of Thule AeroBlades. I want to carry it keel-down for ease of loading. I’m thinking about purchasing the Rhino T Load but I have a couple questions. First, what would you reccomend for holding/stabilizing the kayak on the roof rack after i get it up there i.e. are saddles required? Second, are there any other setups that you would reccomend over what I have suggested given the rather heavy weight of the kayak? Many thanks,

Expert Reply:
For your Honda Pilot with Thule Aeroblade crossbars there's really only one kayak rack we carry that's going to have the capacity you need. The etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 that you referenced has a 100 lb capacity and fit Thule Aeroblade bars like what you have so it will be a great option for you.
This would also work with the Rhino Rack T-Load # RTL002.

How can you load the Hobie into the etrailer J rack? The rhinorack universal side loader will not work with the e trailer jrack.
