Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do have a Thule roof rack that will allow you to install the Hullavator #TH898 on your 2015 Subaru Forester. For that I recommend the following: - Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Raised Rails - Aluminum -…
Hey Michael, the install of the etrailer base plate kit part #e96GV does require moving the adaptive cruise control bracket in most situations. That is still true so it would be likely you'd need to move yours on a 25 Maverick Lariat.
Hey Marie, sure can! To haul kayaks with your 2024 Subaru Outback you will need to install a roof rack with crossbars. If you already have one, perfect. Just let me know the brand and approximate length of crossbar. If you do not have crossbars…
Hey Michael, the correct picture of the etrailer base plate kit part #e96GV is the first picture which closely resembles the Demco. I would agree this install requires the least amount of vehicle modification but there is some trimming required. Some…
Hey John, we'd be glad to help you pick out the best lift assisted kayak carrier for your 2026 Subaru Outback Wagon! I think the Thule Hullavator part #TH898 would be your best option as it is a little easier to use and load so that's what I…
As you can see in the diagram I provided, the tilt is adjustable up to about 45°. The tilt mechanism has a pin that can be used in two different positions to allow a roughly 15 or 30° degree tilt or the pin can be completely removed for the…
Hey Scott! The Waltech Vision 2.0 #WA74FR can replace those thermostats if they are Dometic 3-wire single zone, 12-button zone CCC, or 5-button multi-zone. See the attached photo. I'm assuming these are R410A AC units (pre-2025). If they're…
Yeah, that things fun with camper shells. I've got exactly what you need though Lauren. If your Leer XR camper shell does not have tracks installed, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack for Camper Shells item #Y01-120B with 54"…
Hi Jason; Rhino-Rack doesn't provide us with the overhang measurements, and we haven't installed this on a 2018 RAV4 to measure ourselves. I went ahead and asked Rhino-Rack, we will see if I hear back (they have a habit of not responding).…
Hi Gary, I completely understand why you’re hesitant to just pour this into your fresh tank. Since BluTech’s site says to call if you do not have the filtration system, it makes sense that you would want a clear and safe way to use it. The Blu…
The Malone MegaWing, part #MPG207 and the SeaWing, part #MPG107MD are extremely similar and come in Malone's distinctive red styling, but have different applications. Its not the wrong picture, just not a great one to notice the differences. I…
Hey Roman! The Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit #MPG475 is designed to be added to a utility trailer. You can probably get this work with your EcoLight #MAL53FR but it isn't necessary. What you can do instead is trade out your existing 58"…

In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!
Watersport carriers are essential for transporting your kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards safely and securely. Whether you're heading to a serene lake or tackling rugged trails, these carriers offer versatility and ease of use. Consider your vehicle type, the size of your watercraft, and ease of installation when choosing the right carrier.
Consider your vehicle's roof type and crossbar compatibility. Some carriers fit specific models better, like the Tesla Model 3, while others may require adjustments. Look for carriers with adjustable features to accommodate different roof systems and ensure a secure fit.
Look for carriers with easy installation, secure locking systems, and durable materials. Features like adjustable end pieces and quick-release mechanisms can enhance usability. Consider carriers that allow for easy loading and unloading, especially if you frequently transport heavy kayaks.
Yes, many carriers are versatile enough to handle various watercraft, from solo canoes to large kayaks. Ensure the carrier's weight capacity and size are suitable for your specific watercraft. Some carriers offer additional straps or padding for extra security and protection.
Regularly check for wear and tear, especially on straps and padding. UV protection is crucial for materials exposed to sunlight. If parts fade or degrade, check for warranty options. Proper maintenance ensures your carrier remains reliable for years of adventure.
Practice loading and unloading before heading out. Use dedicated safety straps and ensure they are tightly secured. For heavier kayaks, having a second person assist can make the process smoother. Always double-check that your watercraft is stable before driving.
