• Can Yakima LoadStop Brackets Be Used to Carry a Canoe
  No, the LoadStop Brackets for Yakima Round Crossbars # Y05000 can not be used to carry a canoe, unfortunately. These have had issues with the load stops actually folding over while transporting canoes, causing the canoes to slip out. I'd instead recommend using the Malone Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG156 instead which is designed to carry canoes and are actually much cheaper.

• Recommended Canoe Carrier for 2012 Subaru Outback with Factory Crossbars
  For the factory crossbars on your 2012 Subaru Outback, I would recommend the Malone Foam Block Rooftop Canoe Carrier, part # MPG156. The foam blocks used to support the canoe can be mounted to the crossbars, or can be placed directly on the roof surface. The kit includes the foam blocks, tie down straps and the bow and stern lines used to secure the canoe to the front and rear of the vehicle. If you decide to use the foam blocks directly on the vehicle roof, be sure the blocks and the...

• Temporary Solution for Transporting Canoe on Toyota Prius with Naked Roof
  As a temporary solution a foam block style carrier is a really good option to transport a single canoe on top of your friend's 2014 Toyota Prius that isn't already equipped with a roof rack. For this I specifically recommend the Malone Canoe Carrier # MPG156, which includes the foam blocks themselves that will attach to the gunwale on the canoe and sit right on the Prius' naked roof, along with all the necessary tie-down straps. Just be sure to clean your buddy's roof before mounting the...

• Parts Needed to Carry a 16' Canoe in a 2017 Toyota Tacoma Short Bed w/ Deck Rail System
  The best option is going to be a combination of both a roof rack and a ladder rack. You can use the Rola Haul-Your-Might T3 Truck Bed Ladder Rack # 59799. This ladder rack is designed to be used with the rail system in your 2017 Toyota Tacoma and will provide you with crossbars that are similar to roof rack crossbars. Because of the length of your canoe, you will also want a roof rack so the canoe can be placed over the cab and truck bed to keep it secure and from sticking past the truck...

  The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Rear Loading - Clamp On # MPG113MD can absolutely be removed easily from the factory crossbars on your Toyota RAV4 when you are wanting to carry a canoe instead.

I included...

• How to Carry a Canoe on a 2013 Toyota Prius with a Bare Roof
  If your Prius has a bare roof then the only option for carrying a canoe would be a foam block carrier like # MPG156. Otherwise you would have to install a roof rack. We have different roof rack fits for the different 2013 Prius models: Prius, Prius c, Prius plug-in, and Prius V. I want to make the right recommendation so if you are interested in a roof rack please let me know the specific model.

It comes with elliptical shaped crossbars to cut down on wind noise and aid in fuel efficiency. These bars also have a t-channel, so any channel mounted accessories will work with this ladder rack.

• Roof Canoe Carrier System for Use with Hitch Load Support on 2018 Hyundai Ioniq
  All roof racks currently made for your 2018 Hyundai Ioniq, shown on the linked page, consist of two crossbars and the related foot assemblies. But since you have a hitch support like the Malone Axis # MPG907 to hold one end of your canoe I do have a good solution for you that will cost much less. We offer canoe carriers that do not require any roof rack crossbar. These cost-effective carriers include items like the Malone Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG156. This kit includes 4 foam...

• How to Carry a Canoe on the Naked Roof of a 2013 Toyota Prius V
  The Yakima foam blocks Y04056 could be a good option for a naked roof 2013 Toyota Prius V. But I recommend the Malone foam blocks # MPG156 since they are less expensive and because Yakima has stopped making the foam blocks. To attach it to a vehicle with a naked roof you would first make sure the bottoms of the pads and the roof are clean. Then you would set the canoe down next to the vehicle so that it over hangs the front and rear of the roof evenly. Next you will place the blocks on...

• Can a Canoe be Carried on a Rhino-Rack Roof Basket on a 2012 Toyota 4Runner
  You could carry a canoe on the Rhino-Rack basket # RMCB02 but I recommend adapting some foam blocks # MPG156 to protect the canoe and the basket. Also you will need to make sure that the combined weight of the canoe and the basket does not exceed the roof rack capacity or the vehicle roof weight carrying capacity, which ever is lower. Consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Toyota for the roof capacity on your 2012 Toyota 4Runner. Ideally, though, you would remove the basket and put the...

• Recommendation for TracRac Ladder Rack With Extension Carrying a Canoe Having Cab Contact
  The T-Rac Pro2 Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Over-the-Cab Extension # TH37002XT-EX has a height above the bed rails of 27-1/4 inches. There is not a height adjustment available for the TracRac systems. Since you are having issues with your canoe hitting the cab, it sounds like you have too much weight to the front of the system or there is too much of a curve in the canoe, so you may want to start by adjusting the canoe's ride position so the weight is better supported. If you still have...

• Carrying Canoe Level on 2016 Chevy Silverado with Leer 180 Camper Shell with Rear Incline
  It would actually be better to have the canoe either all on the camper shell or all on the cab of the truck. When a load is split between the 2 it could result in problems because the truck bed can move some independently from the cab. The artificial rain gutters can be installed anywhere that you are willing to drill into. I do not recommend it on a 2016 Chevy Silverado because who wants to drill holes in the cab of a new truck! What you could do is use one Darby Turbo-Rack # DTA968...

• Roof Rack Recommendation For 2010 Ford Van To Carry Canoes.
  I do not have an 80-inch crossbar that will work with your Ford Van but I do have a solution that will work for you. I recommend the Inno Roof Rack for your 2010 Ford. You would need the Feet, part # INSD and also the Inno Crossbars, part # IN436L. These square crossbars are 79 inches long and measure 7/8 x 1-1/4 inches. These crossbars have a 220-lb weight capacity. For carrying the canoes I recommend using the Malone Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 6" Long # MPG156....

• Canoe Carrier Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Roof Rack
  To carry a canoe on your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend a simple carrier like the Malone foam blocks, # MPG156. The blocks fit on your crossbars and the canoe rests upside down in the grooves in each block. Use the included strap and rope to tie down the bow and stern. If you have a 2 inch trailer hitch on the vehicle, I recommend adding a T-Load, # RTL002, which will help with stability and weight carrying of the canoe. Some additional foam blocks, like # SR5528 may be needed.

  If you are looking to set the canoe directly on top of your roof, then you will want a carrier with foam pads like the Malone Canoe Carrier, # MPG156. 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...

• Do You Sell 96 Inch Crossbars to Mount a Canoe on My Adventurer Camper?
  I think I have a possible solution to the problem. Unfortunately, they do not make crossbars that are 96 inches. However, if you are absolutely set on transporting your canoe on your Adventurer camper, you can always purchase a Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers and Camper Shells - Steel - 7' Long - 150 lbs # S80510. The length of the bars are 84-5/16 inches long, and they can be fasten on the camper roof. The installation will require drilling. For the canoe rack that will...

• How to Attach Vehicle Anchor Straps on a 2011 Kia Soul to Secure a Canoe
  The vehicle anchor straps can be mounted using some existing locations under the hood of your 2011 Kia Soul or you could use your own hardware. They used an existing bolt to secure one end of the strap for # TH529. For the back or another option for the front take a look at the etrailer Tie-Down Kit # e36ZR. This design has a foam tube that cannot be pulled out once the hood or hatch is closed. You will need a tie down kit and the # e36ZR would be a great choice. I have included a...

  If you have a slide-in truck bed camper on your 2013 Ford F-150 you'll need to use a combination of rooftop canoe carrier and front-mounted hitch and load support to hold your 110-lb 15-foot canoe. The good news is that you do not have to install a roof rack on the truck cab, just a handy, low-cost and lightweight foam block canoe carrier like # MPG156 from Malone. The foam carrier will support one end of the canoe while the front-mounted hitch and load support will support the other...

• Can Malone MAL63FR EcoLight Sport Trailer Carry 15 Foot Canoe
  The Malone # MAL63FR is meant for boats up to 14 feet in length. As your Old Town Saranac 146DLX is almost 15 feet long, the # MAL63FR wouldn't be a good choice as the bow of the canoe would sit too close to the rear of the tow vehicle which could possibly damage the canoe or vehicle. I'd recommend a longer trailer like # MPG460G which can handle boats up to 20 feet long, which would work better with your canoe. To secure the canoe to the trailer's crossbars, you can use the # MPG156...

• Recommended Reasonably-Priced Canoe Carrier for 2012 Honda Odyssey w/ Bare Roof
  The Malone canoe carrier you've looked at, part # MPG156 would be an excellent choice that's reasonably priced. The kit contains 4 foam blocks that slip over the gunwales of the canoe and protect the roof. Two straps for securing the canoe to the roof (run straps through car doors) and tie downs for the canoe's bow and stern are also included. You might also be interested in anchor straps like # RRRBAS. You'd close the straps in the vehicle hood and rear hatch to provide an attachment...

• Roof Rack And Canoe Carrier Options For 2016 Volvo XC60 With Flush Roof Rails
  For your 2016 Volvo XC60 with flush rails, the Rhino-Rack Aero crossbars would be an excellent. You can go with crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and then you also need Feet # RRSX025. For a canoe carrier, I think the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR would work well. The carrier arms can be adjusted from 28" to 47-1/2" wide to accommodate various sizes of canoes or kayaks. A more budget friendly carrier would be the Malone Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 6" Long...

• Roof Rack for Carrying Canoe With 2008 Chevy Silverado
  We do offer clamps designed to attach the roof rack feet to the vehicle, but I could not recommend altering a roof rack in any way. Altering an existing assembly would have unknown effects on its weight bearing ability, which wouldn't be safe. Rhino Rack offers an inexpensive yet strong rack system that consists of the # RRVA137B-2 crossbars, # RRRLKVA legs, and the # DK227 vehicle-specific clamp kit. This would provide a stable and strong rack for your canoe. I'd also suggest the Malone...
