This saddle-style kayak carrier is reinforced to let you transport 1 fishing kayak on your roof rack. Rear-loading design lets you push kayak onto the cradles from the back of your vehicle. Includes load straps, tie-downs, and mounting hardware.
Features:
Specs:
The rear-loading, saddle-style carrier lets you transport 1 sit-on-top, fishing kayak, hull side down. It has V-Shaped cradles lined with rubber padding to protect your boat from scratches and scuffs while loading and during transport. This padding also creates friction while you're pushing your kayak onto the carrier, making it less likely that you'll push the kayak too far and potentially have it fall off the carrier and hit your vehicle. And if you struggle with lifting a kayak over your head, you can add a load assist (sold separately) to reduce the strain of loading your boat onto the carrier.
This carrier includes 2 cam-buckle straps to secure your kayak to the carrier. Cutouts on the outside edge of the MegaWing help keep the straps in place while securing and transporting your kayak. 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.
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.

We do have options, James! From what you described, it sounds like your Compass has the flush rails running fore and aft along the edges of the roof. If that's the case, simply use the link I've provided to se what's available....

Thanks for all your tips, Josh. These are all really good things you bring up and will definitely help someone later down the road. Have any fun kayaking plans this summer?

Weve now used these mounts for a year, taking our kayaks to springs near us and all the way to Key West on the interstate. We are in Jacksonville, FL so it was about a 500 mile trip at highway speeds. The mounts have worked great. We are using them on a Jeep Wrangler JKU. Our kayaks are 60 and 75lbs so weve worked out our best way to load, unload etc. and once strapped in the kayaks are held firmly in place. I have not had to reach out to etrailer for anything but based on that one interaction when we made our purchase Id not hesitate do buy from them again.

Great! I have no regrets. So much easier to load the kayak from the back vs, up and over the side with J-Racks. Well made, and sturdy too. I now have them on my 2023 Chevy Trailblazer.

Works fine Buckles on tie down straps get hard to operate around salt water

This product is awesome for large wide kayaks. Easy to install on vehicle and easy to load and unload your kayak. I’ve used it on a Honda CR-V and Toyota Highlander

I’ve used the product for over a year and I have to stay. It is the best roof rack I’ve ever owned. When I see people using different racks for their kayaks, I have to tell them about this product because it will make their life so much better.
