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 J-style cradles so you can transport your favorite kayaks or canoes. Lightweight carriers secure your boat on its side, taking up less space and preventing boat-to-boat contact.
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 J-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.
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.

Trailer fits all my needs
The entire experience from initial purchase to delivery and completed assembly was distinctly positive due to the customer service and support from etrailer. A minor delay in receiving 1 of 4 packages was deftly managed by the support team. Assembly was straight-forward with outstanding instructions and their follow-up to ensure I was satisfied was second to none!
Just bought a new fishing kayak I needed some way of getting it and my wifes to the pond and this trailer was perfect, good qualityand great price. Best of all it comes from my state .
Etrailer takes care of my trailer needs. This kayak carrier is well built!
Easy to assemble but would definitely watch the video. It goes step by step and answers any questions you might have. Great product and am looking forward on pulling it to the lake
'You get what you pay for'. The quality of the materials and fabrication made the assembling enjoyable without having to force pieces to 'make then fit'. Studying the instructions first, then going slow, made my trailer go together without issue. If I had it to do over again I would buy a Malone trailer without hesitation. Thank you for making such a quality product!
It's perfect. Supports 4 kyaks which includes two peddle kyaks. Easy to load durable. We only wish there was a storage box for paddles and life vests. Otherwise couldn't be happier. Husband built in an hour.everything drilled perfect and all pieces and parts undamaged.
I’m very pleased with this trailer. The quality far exceeded my expectations. I will use it to transport my two 14 foot kayaks as I don’t feel like hoisting them to the roof of my car anymore. I am not mechanically inclined and was a bit intimidated when it arrived in three boxes. However the step by step instructions guided me through the assembly process and I put it all together over the course of a long afternoon.
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.
I was able to assemble in a couple hours. Directions were adequate. I got the storage container also and it will be nice for storing the padding and tie down straps. Looking forward to trying it out. Nice product.
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'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!
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
We don't have our truck any longer and can't transport our kayaks on our cars. This trailer is perfect for our needs. I just assembled it two days ago and haven't used it yet, but I think it will be great. The assembly instructions were good, but even the updated ones need to be updated a little: the new type wiring harness was easy, but the instructions showed the process for the old one and the frame side bars had more holes than the ones shown in the manual or video, which was a little confusing as to where the middle frame crossbar goes. But all-in-all, assembly went smooth.
I purchased this trailer to haul around my new pedal powered fishing kayak because it is too heavy for one person to handle. The trailer has worked out great, it makes it easy to launch and retrieve my kayak. The trailer was easy to put together and have no issues since purchasing it online.
As expected. Good trailer
It's a great trailer that exceeded my e xpectations.
Great trailer so far! Putting it together was easy with the video and instructions. Can't wait to get out and use it!
We are first time trailer users and so far so good.
The trailer works great! Very easy to u se.

This trailer works fine. I highly recommend it!
Lightweight durable trailer…perfect for us as we are no longer able to lift our kayaks on to our roof rack. Highly recommend!!
Overall, I'm very pleased with this trailer. I can store my kayaks on the it in my garage and have it hooked up to my car, ready to go to the lake, in five minutes. Putting it together was not difficult. The quality is very good with one exception. The wiring harness that came with the kit seemed flimsy and fragile, with the insulation easily nicked. When I plugged it into my vehicle it blew a fuse in my car. I decided to scrap their wiring and went to the hardware store and purchased a new wiring harness that seemed sturdier. I also purchased heat shrink butt connectors for all the connections. The new harness has worked fine, with no further problems. The only other modification I made was additional padding on the J-style carriers to better cushion the boats and around the cross bars where they meet the vertical support to protect the tie down straps from sharp edges.
The 8-inch wheels make me a little nervous, but I repacked them with a high-quality grease (Triax Atlas 600 synthetic) at the end of summer and will replace the bearings at the end of this summer, probably with Timken bearings. I have also purchased a spare hub assembly with prepacked bearings to take with me on the road in case of a failure.
