Lightweight Trailer is Perfect for Hauling Kayaks or Canoes
This lightweight trailer with V-style cradles let you bring your favorite kayaks or canoes on your outdoor adventure. With a 7-1/2' 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 rubber padding prevent scuffs, scratches, or damage to your boat during transport. The saddles stabilize your boat and prevent movement while traveling on uneven or rough terrain.
Submersible LED Trailer Lights
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.
Plug-and-Play Trailer Wiring
The wiring for this trailer has a simple plug-and-play design, so it doesn't require any 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 plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are plugged in, 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.
Leaf Spring Suspension
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.
Quick and Easy Trailer Hookup
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.

Works great for transporting my Eddy Line Whisper sea kayak.
by: Mike02/24/2019
This is a sturdy trailer and I'm very satisfied with the product and process. The instructions were probably the most thorough I've ever seen. The title and bill of sale come separately probably so it can't be stolen with all the paperwork

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
Due to the pandemic, I waited 2 months to receive the trailer. It all arrived in good shape and I was able to assemble it easily. I was pleasantly surprised that the hardware and wiring harness had been upgraded to be more robust. I am waiting for plates and then I will see how it does on the road.
Comments
The trailer is everything I had hoped it would be. I mostly use it for transporting kayaks locally for my boat building business. I have not taken it on a long trip yet but my little car pulls it with ease.

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
This is a great trailer for the price.
I found the packaging and instructions pretty straightforward and easy to follow.
Once together it seems quite solid and I really like the LED lights.
The crew at etrailer.com were in constant contact and very supportive throughout the entire process and all the paperwork for registration came within a week .
Comments
It has been a busy season. I love having the ability to change the racks easily as we have 3 kayaks, 1 canoe and a sup and are always changing as moods change and different people visit.

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
I researched a number of different trailer options for my pair of Hobie fishing kayaks. Due to their weight, proper support was crucial to prevent long term sagging. I liked the multiple options available with the Malone Microsport trailer and went with the twin bunk option.
The Microsport trailer is sturdy and easy to assemble. The instructions were detailed and easy to understand. I also took advantage of assembly video on the etrailer.com website. All this being said, I found the estimated 3 hour assembly time to be overly optimistic. (It took me about 5 hours.)
I like the fact that all of the parts are galvanized. Living in a rainy area and using the trailer to store the kayaks when not in use, rust prevention is important to me. I'm confident the trailer will last a long time.
I've already towed my kayaks over 100 miles to our vacation home without incident. The trailer towed like a dream. The LED lights are bright and easy to see from behind, even though the kayaks overhang the back of the trailer by at least 4 feet. I was not concerned about drivers behind me not being able to see my turn signals and break lights.
All in all, the Malone Microsport trailer is great, reasonably-priced trailer for kayaks and canoes. It also makes a great rack to store them on, if you have the space.
Comments
Im still completely satisfied with the Malone trailer. It hauls well on the highway and is easy to maneuver by hand into tight spaces, even with two fishing kayaks loaded. Ive been asked several times at the launch where I got it and Ive sent them directly to etrailer.

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
I started building the trailer yesterday afternoon and just finished it an hour ago after spending three more hours on it today. It went together very well. Institutions were very clear. I am very happy with it. I am attaching a photo.
Comments
I have used the trailer for over a year now, and I still love it. I’ve had absolutely ZERO problems with it. I store it outside, so it’s always exposed to the weather. But the only wear and tear I see is in the foam pads of the cradles which are not part of the trailer kit and which are probably caused by kayak installation and removals. I can load and unload the kayak in seconds. I am very happy I bought this trailer. Other people are quick to complement it, which allows me to boast that I put it together from a kit! Note: I just saw my initial review and noticed that the spell control software substituted “institutions” for “instructions “. Sorry about that.

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
Good quality trailer. Went together easy, had all the parts even though the main packaging was torn open from shippment. Got it licensed with no problems.
I will be hauling my 2019 Hobie Outback on this trailer. Also mounted a 6" tube for
my fishing poles. Will also be adding the storage box. Have not had it on the road
yet. I like the size of this trailer, not very heavy or to large.
Comments
Its been working out great! Diffidently was a good purchase. It handles my Hobie Outback kayak with ease. I can loadunload it easily by myself. I haul it with my Jeep wrangler. The trailer is lite enough that I can move it around myself. I did not install the storage box, because I feel that it needs support from the bottom. Im afraid with to many bumps on the road could cause it to fail. So I keep it inside the Jeep instead. Still Im glad I purchase the storage box, very handy.

Can't say enough about the quality and prices. Ashley and Bridgette in CS were extremely helpful in helping me get what I needed in a Kayak trailer, and their follow up was extraordinary. Malone trailer is very sturdy, assembly instructions were right on. Paper work for title and registration was sent to me asap after delivery of the trailer. Trailer tows and tracks very well.

Trailer has performed beautifully for a year now since purchasing. Makes loading and unloading for us being retired very easy

This trailer makes lifting my kayaks and bikes an easy alternative to putting the kayaks onto the top of my higher SUV. THe latching and tiedown points make safe travel for my adventure trips. Easily handles 2 kayaks very well. Bike tie downs are very easy also, and feel very safe taking these at highway speed on road trips to adventurous destinations. Very pleased with this highly usable product. Not bad to assemble and can easily move it with kayaks and bikes on it. Well balanced. So glad summers here again!

Still working out very well for me!

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
I used this for the full 2021 season on at least 20 trips. I use it for quick trips to local lake withe kayak, works perfect, leave boat on trailer, drop on hitch and go. Cust load and unload times in half. The order was complete Fubar, misteaks by all UPS< Malone and etrailer. Extra parts, wrong parts. But I was able to get a real person at etrail and it was all straighened out. Including the title and paper work I needed to register in MA. Assembly takes a bit, but if you pay attention to the directions, it is straight forward. The issues I had was because I didnt pay attention, mounted srpings backward, and did discover till much later, then you have to disseble much and redo to fix. Just go slow and check each step before proceeding.

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
The search for a trailer to carry our two Hobie Kayaks was extensive. My main concern was finding one that could carry the two heavy (83 lbs. ea.), travel at highway speeds and be easy to use. This Malone MicroSport trailer has turned out to be great. It is easy to get our kayaks on and off the trailer at the lake. Rhino-rack Nautic roof rack carriers were installed to carry the kayaks because I wanted them to provide conforming support for the hulls. They have proven to be capable of carrying the weight of the Hobie kayaks and the kayaks can be slid on them when loading/off-loading. This was a primary concern because capacity is not listed with most carriers. Assembly of the trailer was fairly easy and I would rate it requiring moderate mechanical skill. Before doing this assembly I watched a fantastic video online, walking you through the assembly.
I would add just a couple things. Those include: 1. It would be easier to do most of the assembly on a table, until you get to the wheels. Especially true for us older folks that don't bend so well. 2. Be sure to read the wiring harness installation a few times before installation. It is tricky, but will work if you follow the instructions correctly. There is barely enough wire to connect the tail lights. I wound up having to splice some wire because of problems I had. 3. You will need to get some grommets to protect the wires going through the holes in the frame. They are not supplied with the kit. Other than that the trailer works great,very solid and have had no issues traveling at highway speeds. Attached is a photo of the trailer with the kayaks.

Review from a similar MicroSport in Kayak Trailer
I cannot think where I was ever more impressed with a company than Monroe. They were very attentive and never was there a more easier task than building my trailer. There was nothing missing, and it went together with perfection. Not knowing, but a year before I bought the trailer package, I purchased a kayak 2 wheeled portage cart. Wanting a premier carrier, i bought the best , most stable built cart on the market. It so happens that it was a monroe cart as well. Great group of engineers working on innovation everyday.

I love my Malone MicroSport Trailer! It was shipped carefully in four easy to handle boxes, came complete and undamaged, and the assembly instructions were clear. I assembled it in one afternoon. I keep my two Perception 12' kayaks and two mountain bikes on the racks, so I am ready to hitch and go whenever I feel the urge. I recommend this product highly, without reservation.

Bought the LowBed MicroSport specifically for my Blue Sky Boat Works Angler 360 kayak. Trailer works great! It's lower and makes getting the kayak on and off easier. Had no issues with the trailer assembly. LED lights work great. After one year I'm very happy I bought this trailer.

Had the trailer for year now -- but has been in water storage along with my kayaks. I worried about spending so much but it is so useful, glad I did. Much easier to put kayaks on a trailer vs. hoisting upon on a roof. And it is a quality product -- well made.

See what our Experts say about this Malone Kayak Trailer
- Choosing Between A V Rack And A J Rack For A Malone Kayak TrailerI recommend the V-Racks or horizontal kayak racks that allow your kayak to lay flat on it's belly. They are easy to load and are lower profile when loaded so less wind resistance is generated. They can also accommodate the heavier, wider fishing kayaks if that applies now or in their future kayak purchases. The Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks # MPG461GS is a great example. J-style are popular but can also be more difficult to load and are less wind resistant with a higher...
view full answer... - Would You Recommend the Malone Megawing for the Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL?Yes, I would recommend the Malone Megawing # MPG207 for your Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL because the the Megawing gives you the versatility you need whether you want to mount it on top of your crossbar system or your kayak trailer. The Megawing comes with 2 load straps with cam buckles to secure the cradles to your crossbars as well as 2 bow/stern ties to secure your Sportsman to your vehicle. If you decide to use a trailer to transport your Sportsman, I recommend the Malone MicroSport...
view full answer... - Recommended 2 Kayak Trailer Made in the USAFor a kayak trailer that can hold 2 kayaks and is made in the USA you can use the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer - 86" Crossbars - 1,000 lbs # MPG535 you were looking at. Keep in mind, this does not come with any kayak carriers so you would need to add them separately. If you would prefer an option that comes with carriers, you could use the Malone MicroSport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 800 lbs # MPG461GS. This has a maximum capacity of 150 lbs per boat and a maximum...

If you're needing to carry both at the same time then you're going to need to use a watersport trailer as the standard weight capacity of a roof rack is 165 lbs. For a watersport trailer I recommend the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks # MPG461GS. This comes with the trailer and kayak carrier that can hold up to 2 boats weighing...

If you were to only carry one you would be fine and the combination you referenced would work well but two does require a trailer as you stated. My recommendation is to use the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Extra Heavy Boats - 13' Long - 800 lbs # MPG461B2 or the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 13' Long - 800 lbs # MPG461GS. This gives you the strength you need...
view full answer... - Recommended Malone XtraLight LowMax trailer for Two Old Town Sportsman Fishing KayaksYour Old Town Sportsman 136 kayak is 158 lbs, so for two of them I recommend the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR. This comes with the kayak bunks for 2 kayaks and has the crossbars with integrated d-rings. This has a per boat restriction of 25 lbs where the similar Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 13' Long - 800 lbs # MPG461GS has a per boat restriction of 150 lbs based on the capacity of the kayak carriers. This kayak trailer is rated for speeds up to 70 mph.
view full answer... - Is there a Max Speed Rating for Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG461GSThe Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG461GS doesn't have a speed limitation. However the 12 inch tires should not be run above 65 miles per hour. You could add different tires with a higher speed rating such as # TT48012C which are rated for 81 miles per hour and 990 pounds at 90 psi. But the tires would have to be purchased separately because we can't swap out the ones that come with it for different tires.
view full answer... - Towing With 2021 Toyota CorollaThe owner's manual for your 2021 Corolla does state that it shouldn't be used for towing nor should a hitch be installed. I can't recommend anything that would contradict what the owner's manual states, but I can't see how installing a hitch like the Curt # C34UR and using it within its stated 200 lb tongue weight capacity for carrying two bikes could harm anything. As far as towing a small lightweight kayak trailer goes, something weighing 500 or so lbs loaded such as the Malone # MPG461GS...

- Can I Mount Two Hullavators on 2019 Chevrolet Suburban?While we do have some roof rack bar and kayak carrier options, none of them are 76" long crossbars that you need to fit two # TH898 Hullavators on your roof. You would also need at least 188 lbs roof weight capacity for everything which is pretty hefty.

The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR that you found only has a 58" long crossbar making your Kayaks 14" wider than the crossbars and hanging over the trailer where they are more likely to become damaged.
