Gunwale Bracket Canoe Carrier
The Malone BigFoot Pro holds your canoe hull side up on your roof rack crossbars. These gunwale brackets are lined with foam pads to protect your canoe from scratches and scuffs while loading and during transport. And because the brackets are only 4-1/2" tall, you won't have to lift your canoe much higher than your roof when loading it from the side of your vehicle. This low-profile design also makes it less likely that you'll need to remove the carrier when you park in your garage.
Load Straps and Bow/Stern Tie-Downs
The carrier includes 2 cam-buckle straps to secure your kayak to the rack. A set of bow/stern tie-downs are also included to secure the kayak to the front and back of your vehicle. If your vehicle doesn't have any tie-down points, you can get an anchor kit (sold separately) which will let you create anchor points in the creases of your vehicle's hood and hatch.
Tool-Free, Clamp-On Installation
The carrier clamps to most crossbars without the need for tools. Simply set the carrier on your crossbars, slide the mounting brackets over the bolts, and secure them with the T-knobs.

Right angle brackets finally replaced my moline foam blocks( which were good for about one season). Canoe is more stable and have been able to reduce the gear up time!

The Malone Bigfoot Pro Canoe Roof rack is excellent and is super strong. I have two sets of them now, one for a Malone Aero Bars Car Roof Rack, and one for a Rhino Aero Bars Car Roof Rack (both bought at Etrailer). The quality is first rate, so why the 4 stars? The reason is that the support back of the canoe racks is too high. It only needs to be one inch high which matches the rubber pad. Instead it is 3.75 inches high. Every inch higher than necessary makes it harder to lift the canoe over the backs of the canoe racks. If I could cut them easily I would do it, but it looks like it would be too difficult to cut the metal back down to 1 inch. The Canoe racks are even better using the T-Slot Integration Hardware Kit for Aero Styled CrossBars, MPG915. That kit has 5/8" long (functional length) bolts which fit the Malone Aero Bars Car Rack. For the Rhino Rack, it uses a different kit that has 7/8" long bolts. Using the T Slot allows full use of the entire aero bars.

@Stephen Glad to hear things are holing up as they should Stephen! Do you have a favorite body of water you like to take your canoe out on? My son used to go to a camp up North where they would go on a canoe trip for weeks at a time, their big senior trip they even got to travel through Canada. It was always so neat to hear his stories of whales under him, and even seeing a polar bear!

I bought these brackets for my Ascend H-12 kayak. The kayak transports face-down on Thule roof racks. These high-quality brackets are easy to install/remove and inhibit any side to side slippage while providing a secure tie-down. I highly recommend these brackets for anyone transporting canoes or kayaks on their rooftops.

Nice kit for canoe tie down. Would have preferred ratchet straps to hold the canoe. I changed them out for ones I already had.

Dont use ratchet straps on a canoe. You can, but you risk damaging it. Cam straps are great.

First off, when I'm looking for something for my car, truck or camper, etrailer is my 1st online stop. Their pricing is highly competitive and their service is tops. Finding and ordering the Malone big foot was no exception. Ordering was a breeze and communication about my order was very prompt. The product itself is perfect. It installed on my Yakima corebars in minutes, fits perfectly and seems to be of the highest quality. I purchased this product for hauling ladders, lumber and any number of long loads that need to be stable.

Bigfoot Canoe Rack: etrailer was late sending the order out because their inventory system didn't seem to be working. When they finally found my order, I asked that it be sent to me as a priority shipment. My request was ignored.
Otherwise, the order has arrived. I haven't installed it yet, but it's been unpacked and the order seems complete. Also seems pricey for what it is.

Perfect for a canoe - even a wide one with very curved gunnels. I put them on a 58in Malone square bar, but they would fit just about any cross bar I've seen.

My experience working with your company was first class, as was the product. Your saleslady was very knowledgeable in answering my questions. My order was exactly what I needed, thanks to Mariah. A pleasure compared to the usual off shore representative that is reading from a book, speaks poor English, and knows little about the product you are calling about.

- Will the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs Fit the Yakima Overhaul HD Crossbars?Hello Steven, Yes, you can use the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets - Clamp On # MPG112MD on the Yakima HD Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 68" Long - Qty 2 # Y01158. The Yakima Overhaul HD Bars are 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall, and the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Roof Rack works on bars that are up to 3 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" tall. What kind of canoe are you hauling?
view full answer... - Economic Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Compatible with 2019 Subaru ForesterThe Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack 58" # MPG216 or the 50 inch # MPG215 are aero style roof racks that will fit your 2019 Subaru Forester. I would lean toward the longer option, but recommend you check the width of your canoe to determine your need. You can alternatively use the steel square bar # MPG201 or # MPG202 for a more economical option but I recommend upgrading for the minor price difference to reduce wind noise and give you the top channel mount for compatible accessories. For your...

The anchor kit for the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Roof Rack # MPG112MD would be the Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops for Bow and Stern Tie-Downs # MPG308. These will fit under your hood and rear hatch so you will have anchor points for the straps. If you were looking for a complete kit with straps we also have the etrailer Kayak Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR. Any big plans with your canoe this fall?

Then if you also need a carrier for...

In order to secure the boat you'll need some sort of tie-down or a carrier like the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier part # MPG112MD.

- How to Carry a Canoe on the Roof of a Class C MotorhomeThe best roof rack for your Class C motorhome would depend on the shape of it's roof. As long as your roof does not have rounded edges and does not exceed 85-1/2" in width then I recommend the SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack part # SR1020. This system will provide you with 2 square load bars that have a capacity up to 200 lbs. If your roof does have rounded edges or exceeds 85-1/2" in width then I recommend using a track system like Yakima HardTop SL Roof Rack part # Y01618 which comes...

Depending on the style of canoe you have they usually range between 33"-38" wide. Getting a wide set of crossbars is necessary to allow them to sit properly. If you have raised rails that run front to back on each side of your Odyssey you can use Yakimas Round 78" CrossBars # Y00411, RoundBar SL Adapter # Y03536 and TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars...

This is a common setup and I am confident you won't have issues with this mounting style; and this way you won't be drilling into the roof of a newer vehicle. For your 2017 Nissan Frontier with naked roof, I recommend going with Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars 54" # RRVA137B-2 and Mounting Legs # RRRLKVA. These crossbars are aerodynamic which means less wind noise than other...

If you have the raised side rails which shoulds like what you described then the best option to get the longer crossbars is with the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars part # TH710401. These will then allow you to use the Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars like part # TH713700 which are 79" long but can be cut to fit. In regards to mixing a roof rack for bare roof and raised side rails,...

This trailer can support up to 500 pounds of weight with the integrated crossbars and offers plenty of width for both your watercrafts. To secure the canoe to the crossbars I recommend the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier # MPG112MD, and for the kayak the Malone J-Pro # MPG117MD will work perfectly. Both carriers include the needed tie-down straps to...

view full answer... - Thule Portage or Malone BigFoot Boat Carrier ComparisonSince the mounting hardware of the Thule Portage part # TH819 is much easier to use than the Malone BigFoot # MPG112MD I would recommend it highly for your boat and 2013 Toyota Highlander with factory crossbars. This rack fits your vehicle and also has the capacity needed for your boat as well.

Canoes should be carried upside down. Kayak carriers are not designed to conform to the shape of a canoe, so you could damage the hull. The safest way to transport a canoe is on its gunwales.

This carrier was specifically designed for vehicles with or without a roof rack. The foam pads will protect the canoe and your roof from scratches. The tie-downs are included. Based on the weight of your canoe and depending on how far you plan to travel, I strongly recommend looking into a roof rack if you don't already have one and a roof...

The correct parts for your truck are the following: - Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR29XR - Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier # MPG112MD The BigFoot Pro carrier simply clamps onto the crossbars and keeps your canoe in place.

For this reason I recommend getting a small trailer like the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer - 78" Crossbars - Retractable Tongue - 800 lbs # MPG460XT since it would get rid of everything that's going on with the vibrations.

To start you will need a trailer hitch for your 2007 Honda Odyssey, Draw-Tite # 75270, and Wiring Harness # 118438 in order to power the lights on the trailer. I've added links to installation videos of both parts on an '07 Odyssey for you to check out....

The reason why Rhino-Rack is my favorite option is because of its value; it offers the same function and quality as other premium racks, but at a better cost. Going with Rhino-Rack really just saves you from having to pay extra to have a certain brand name stamped on the crossbars. The parts that make up the Rhino-Rack roof rack on your...

The best option for this is from Rhino-Rack because it is the best overall value for a roof rack; Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at a better price point because you aren't paying extra for a specific brand name printed on the crossbars.

If the Malone Bigfoot Pro Canoe roof rack was only an inch high I would never change. I recently bought a Thule Portage Canoe Carrier that is about an inch high and thus easier to lift a canoe over the edge of the racks. Also the very high sides of the Malone racks touch the sides of canoes with tumblehome and I had to add ducktape to avoid scratching the canoe from the bare metal sides of the racks. If Malone would cut the racks down from 3.75 high to 1, they would have a very cost effective and wonderful product.
