Note: Your local municipality requires you to register your trailer with the DMV. An etrailer representative will be reaching out to get information from you for the title.
This lightweight and versatile trailer comes with V-style carriers so you can transport your favorite kayaks or canoes. The padded carriers cradle your boats hull and hold it securely in place. With a 6-3/4' long tongue, this trailer offers exceptional clearance during tight turns. The extended tongue also makes it easier to back up the trailer and prevent binding than trailers with shorter tongues.
Durable V-style kayak carriers with soft padding prevent scuffs, scratches, or damage to your boat during transport. The fixed arms stabilize your boat and prevent movement while traveling on uneven or rough terrain
The DOT-approved tail lights on this trailer are fully submersible, so you don't have to worry about damaging the lights when loading and unloading your boat in water. Each tail light has brake, running light, and turn signal functions, as well as side marker lights and reflectors. In addition, these LED lights last longer, burn brighter, and require less power than incandescent bulbs.
The wiring for this trailer has a simple design, so it requires very little cutting or splicing to install. As you assemble the trailer, route the main wiring harness through the trailer tongue and down towards the body of the trailer. Then plug the 4-wire end of the tail light harness into the main harness.
Run the wires of the tail light harness along the sides of the trailer frame and attach the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights using wire connectors. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are secure, use the included clips to secure the harness to the frame.
When you're ready to connect the trailer to your vehicle, simply plug the trailer end of the main harness into the 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.
This trailer includes a leaf spring suspension system to limit road shock while you tow. A sturdy steel axle runs beneath the trailer frame. The 2 slipper springs that support the axle flex to absorb the rough motion that can occur when driving over bumpy terrain. Also, the axle, spring hangers, and tie plate are galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.
Hooking this trailer to your vehicle is quick and easy. The trailer's coupler connects to a 2" hitch ball, and the included safety chains act as an emergency measure if the coupler accidentally disconnects from your hitch ball. A rubber coated lift handle is mounted to the coupler to provide a solid grip for lifting or maneuvering the trailer. Finally, the skid plate on the underside of the trailer tongue keeps the coupler from touching the ground.

It’s perfect
Perfect for the purpose, If I had to do greater distance I would have chosen a heavier model but for me the eco light is ok. Better stability on the road than expected. Good quality for the price… and excellent customer service! Thank you !
We received the trailer, it was easy to assemble after watching the video. The item was on back order and came directly from Malone. etrailer was more than helpful with guidance on when to expect delivery. Thanks for your help and great product!! Would recommend.
Great value, great functionality, great price. Highly recommended!
We have used the trailer a couple of times so far this year and found it to be very useful as well as helpful. Prior to the trailer we used a car roof mount which was labor intense and pretty difficult. Now we leave the kayaks on the trailer and just hook it up and go. I would certainly recommend this product and have to others who kayak with our church group.
I didn't have any problems assembling the trailer. I rated the trailer a 4 because after one year of use the rubber on the V mounts has some ware. Someday they will need replaced. Maybe a pool noodle will work? Other than that, I very happy with the trailer.

The trailer is working out great. I keep it outside year-round. In the winter months I cover the V mounts and wheels with a plastic tarp. Its so nice to have this trailer my wife can even load the kayaks. It beats trying to throw the kayaks up on the roof of the SUV. Those days are gone!
We've been using the trailer with both the v-style carriers and some J-channel carriers we bought separately. With the J-channel carriers, we were able to carry 3 kayaks. I did replace the plastic license plate frame with a metal one making it a little more difficult to steal. I also added some eye bolts in the frame to make it easier to tie the boat bow and stern to the frame for safer travel over longer distances. The trailer rides well behind my Ford Edge. I soldered the trailer lighting and used heat shrink tubing instead of using the clips that were provided. I also purchased a spare tire and wheel, though short of road hazzards, the tires are expected to last for years.
Love being able to simply toss the kayaks on and go. Beats the heck out of putting onto roof. This model in pretty light so it does bounce a bunch on bumpy roads which is mostly what we have around here.
The EcoLight Trailer has been perfect for my needs. It got to the point where putting two kayaks on my 2019 Jeep was getting too difficult. My wife @ 5'4" couldn't really help. I have two 12' Wilderness Pungo kayaks. The trailer is easy to move around manually with or without the kayaks aboard. While the assembly took awhile, it was a very methodical process. Very logical.
Two cautions: The directions tell you to lay out all the pieces before you begin. Do it, it will save time! Make sure you check how the decals will look when you turn the frame over. Mine are all upside down. It gives it a classic look, however.

Im going into my second year and the kayak trailer has exceeded all my expectations. Easy to trailer tracks well even without the kayaks. Easy to adjust. So much easier and faster than putting two kayaks on a Jeep SUV and then strapping them down. Winds have a way of moving kayaks around on top of a Jeep. Absolutely no worries on the trailer. Solid!
Great tandem trailer for hauling kayaks. It's not difficult to assemble, but it will take you a good half day to put it all together. Watch the Youtube video before assembly as it will give you a few nice tips. Super sturdy, excellent tiedown straps that keep the kayaks immobile even on bumpy roads. Highly recommend!!

FABULOUS!! Numerous trips have been taken with great success. This is a must for kayak travelers. Tired of struggling to get your boats onto a roof-style carrier? Worry no more - this tandem trailer will make it super easy. This is a must purchase item!
Two leaf springs have flattened out. Replace them both times. Not happy with the quality.
Product as advertised, customer service excellent, haven't used it yet but so far so good
Trailer fits all my needs
I'm still waiting for the Light Kit and wireing that was missing in my order and after looking through the boxes, I found a Notice,that the wireing, LED Light kit and License plate holder would be sent to me as soon as it was received by Malone. My Kayaks have been sitting Idle for 3 weeks and still no kit!
The Malone EcoLight trailer is great. I’ve had it for a year now and it’s really helpful. My only issue (but not enough to go down to a 4-star rating) is that the rubber on the V-Style carriers started partially coming off when I first started using it. It doesn’t really cause a problem, however, buyers of the trailer itself might want to consider getting the version that has no carriers included, because you can put just about any style of carriers on it, like J-Style carriers.
I’m including a picture of my kayaks on the trailer. I store them bottom-side up because I don’t have anything covering the cockpits.
Looks like this will be a great trailer. All parts were there when I opened the boxes and there were no damaged parts. Only problem was that the Malone label and specs label on the tongue bar were installed upside down.

This trailer pulls smoothly with my two Hobie kayaks. The only thing I need to do is to add some black Gorilla or T-Rex tape on the spots where the kayaks are rubbing through the foam rubber protectors on the holder brackets.

Very nice trailer, a great addition to our kayaking accessories. Easy to assemble and makes transporting our kayaks in and out of the water a breeze. No more trying to secure them to our vehicle roof or extender. Very happy with our purchase.
I really like my Kayak trailer. It was easy to assemble And tie down our Kayaks. No more lifting it on top of our Mazda SUV. The trailer is very light and bouncy on the freeway. I need to add some extra weight to keep it from bouncing so much. It works great for speeds below 55MPH. Thank you. Just a reminder- you will probably need to license it, I didn’t think of that extra expense.
Thank you
