Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Rack
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman Tajo wall-mounted kayak storage system, part number S65146. The Swagman Tajo is the perfect way to store your kayak when not in use. It features two J-style cradles with protective padding to help support your kayak. Two included straps come over the top of your kayak and help hold it in place. The straps have a protective material at the buckle to prevent the kayak from getting scratched. It holds one kayak with a weight capacity of 100 pounds. Now let's go ahead and take it off and get a closer look on how it's mounted.
So let's go ahead and start by undoing our cam buckles and then we'll take the longer of the strap, we're going to throw it behind the kayak just to get it out of the way. Now let's lift it off. Now, it's not a bad idea to get an extra set of hands if you need to. Let's go over some quick dimensions that could be helpful when you go about mounting it. So from the top of our hook here to about the bottom right in this area here there's going to be about 13-1/2 inches. It's going to stick out roughly 15-1/2 inches from our mounting hardware.
When not in use both the cradles fold in for compact storage. Simply remove the pin, fold it in, realigning the holes, lock it back in position, and then we've got it. It comes with all the hardware you need to get it installed: eight screws, four for each side. You just need to be sure to drill your 1/8 inch pilot hole so you don't strip them out. It also comes with four spacers, and that's going to be this piece right here. That's to help prolong the life of our padding to ensure it doesn't rub on our wall. Now, a quick safety tip to have is when drilling out your holes and putting your hardware in you just want to make sure that there's no plumbing or any electrical behind it.
Now, it doesn't rightly matter how you have them spaced out or mounted. I would just make sure you have at least two feet between the two or have it within the length of your kayak. As you can see with the kayak off you can really get a closer look at the padding on the hooks and see how it's going to really protect it and prolong the life of our kayak. Now, the whole system is made out of a sturdy steel construction with a gray and black powdered coat finish. So it's going to hold up and provide excellent support for a long time. That's going to complete our look at the Swagman Tajo wall-mounted kayak storage system, part number S65146..

Ordering was very easy and I really like the fact that I had reviews from others "with pictures". That helped me tremendously. The items came within 2 days (WOW). I didn't expect that. They are exactly like show and I will be installing them today. I don't expect any problems.
(update after installation)
I have now installed and I would have given a rating of Excellent, but I did not because of 1 problem I had. The screws that come with the product are soooo cheap that they all began to strip out as I installed them. And yes I was using the right Phillips head bit and I even had my drill set to stop if it hit resistance. The Phillips head has very small cross threads. If you look at the pics you'll see what I mean. This Phillips head is too small of threads for a larger 2" screw like this. As such, I ended up having to spend $20 on a screw extraction product (Grabit drill extraction) to get 1 of them out. I since replaced all these crappy screws with ones with better heads that are made of actual metal, not paper-mache that looks like metal. By the way, the Grabit screw extraction tool works great...
Now that they're up, they look great and do perform exactly like I expected. I would definitely recommend these...

Very easy install. Very secure. I would later tuck the paddles in on the hooks as well. It all puts away very nicely.

Mounted the kayak rack yesterday and wanted to offer some feedback. In general, a pretty easy process. The screws do seem to be pretty soft; easy to strip a bit, even with 1/8" holes drilled. No disaster, but could be improved. What is wrong is that the straps seem backward. The clamp is mounted so that you must pull up to tighten the strap. Would be better/simpler to pull down on the strap. I see why the longer strap is at the top, but still bad mechanics. I mounted my rack pretty high on the wall, and not being tall, will have a problem using the strap as oriented. In addition, the clamp strap has no means to adjust its length. My kayak (a Poke boat) is pretty slim in cross-section, which makes tightening the strap very difficult unless I get on a ladder. I realize that some of this issue is due to the height that I mounted the rack, but I had to make sure that it put my boat completely out of the way of the car, bikes, etc., with which it shares the space. Would give the rack a good rating, but the odd engineering design and lack of a way to adjust the strap length are disappointing. Overall, does what I need though, just could be a killer rack with some slight changes.

so far so good. i just hung the two sets of Swagman Tajo wall mounting hooks i ordered from etrainler.com. they are being used on a Necky Manitou 13 & a Perception Prodigy 10. i think this is a well designed product; good materials used (with the exception of the material they used which goes under the security strap buckles to protect the kayak...Swagman sort of cheaped out there. the straps themselves are fine), appears robust enough to last for many years of service. i like having the option of laying the hooks flat against the wall when not in use. having the dedicated safety straps attached to the hooks is a plus as well - don't have to use any of my own straps to secure them in place. they were easy enough to install, although if i were to do it again...i certainly would have had a second set of hands/eyes to help me out. the top one went up no problem - it was getting the lower one placed correctly in the space i had available that was the challenge. but, that was my mistake, nothing to do with the product itself. etrailer.com was a pleasure working with; great follow up from their customer service in letting me know the status of my order - which i greatly appreciated. super fast delivery as well, i had the hooks a few days after the order was placed. couldn't be happier with the service!

and follow-up emails, even after delivery. I have 2 kayaks so I ordered 2 pairs of the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounts.
The wall mounts went up fine. I like the way I can pull the pin and swing the empty racks toward the wall. I mounted mine high on the exposed garage studs. Next we picked up the kayaks and turned them and set them in the brackets. They went in easy and secure. Next we just strapped them in just for extra security. The Kayaks stick out about 16" from the wall, well out of the way of the garage doors, our truck and SUV.

on the wall in our shed. They are easy to install (studs are not covered), and the kayaks were easy to set in and secure. With these installed, we have freed up significant room in our shed, because we had been hanging a kayak from the ceiling. With the new installation, the kayak protrude less than 18 inches from the wall, but are pushed to the back ensuring they are up and out of the way.
I did notice "information" that stated these would stow the boat and the paddles. There is nothing special for stowing the paddles. For one set of paddles, they are taken apart and set inside the boat. For the other set, which are not collapsible, we placed the paddles "behind" the boat which secures them up and out of the way.

We love the kayak racks. They are just what I was looking for at a reasonable price.We did have to make minor adjustments on the hanging brackets so the screws are closer together and fit security on our side boards.

Good, versatile design for wall mounting of kayaks, other slender boats. Boats with a lot of rocker may be difficult to mount due to the limited width of the cradles.

I ordered one set of these racks about two weeks ago. Installed them and decided to ordered two more sets for my other two boats. Yes I have three. My wife says no more boats allowed at our house - think she’s gone crazy. So with great satisfaction I guess I am temporarily retired from ordering any more storage racks or boats - well at least until she goes on a girls trip of something. They were easy to install. One comment about the Phillips head screws stripping, I had no issues. In fact to get the right clearance between the two boats I removed the screws a couple of times and re-secured. N problems with stripping. I think the key is to use a larger Phillips bit and get a straight push into the screw. The price on these racks was reasonable.

Order this for my third kayak. Needed to get off floor. Ordered, received in short time, and installed. It was perfect for my needs. In fact I just ordered two more - other two boats needed same quality securement. My old system was pipe and noodles and didn’t swing out of the way when needed.

Good product, easy to install though as one reviewer mentioned, the heads of the phillips head screws easily strip out and I did so, even when forewarned. The only improvement would be if the angles were adjustable to better fit individual boats. Never-the-less the brackets are working great.

I never did receive notice my order had shipped, however it still arrived within 1week. I screwed two pairs of these racks directly to the exposed studs in my garage - I was done in minutes. I didn't have any trouble with the screw heads stripping, just drill pilot holes like the directions suggest. Light weight, but seem solid enough. Almost don't need the straps, but they're good insurance, and keep my kayaks snug to the wall.

wall, but to mount to a stand that I made out of wood that I could store in the garage or take down to the lake on weekends at the cottage. The Swagman product works great and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an inexpensive way to store kayaks. On-line, I'd have to pay $300-$400 for a good quality stand and after purchasing the hooks and wood, I spent less than $200 without my time of course.
These are a good quality product and well worth the low price!

Bought a pair of these last year and mounted them to the pilings of a pier to store a tandom kayak. Was curious to see how they would hold up in a salt water environment. They held up so well that I bought another pair this year because the first set went home and was mounted in the garage.
After 5-6 months of complete exposure to the elements these hangers look almost new. A little rust around the mounting holes because the screw heads chipped the paint but that's to be expected. One of the foam pads developed a slight tear. The straps and buckles are fine. Didn't use the screws supplied in the kit because stainless steel screws have to be used in that environment.
You can purchase these with confidence that they'll hold up. etrailer also a pleasure, again, to work with.

Will be installed this summer on a pier. Not sure how it will hold up in a saltwater environment but we'll see.
Shipping took quite some time but that was due to a lack of inventory on the manufacturer's part. Etrailer was excellent on providing regular updates on the estimated shipping date as well as suggesting alternate products in case I couldn't wait. They shipped it as soon as possible and didn't charge for the product until it was shipped.
Exceptional customer service.

Built well, and really minimizes the space needed to store my kayak. The foam works well to protect the kayak and the wall mounts have an extender that keeps the foam clear of the wall when swinging the arms in.
If I get a second kayak, these are the racks I'm storing it on!

We bought these to store SUPs and kayaks on the verticals on our dock. They work perfectly. One arm was broken when our granddaughter came in on a SeaDoo at a higher speed than necessary. We cannot complain; it broke cleanly and no one was injured. They were pretty easy to install for ou application. Delivery was very quick. And they were a good value, not cheap, but worth the price. I'd recommend them.

I put up our two sets of kayak racks yesterday. The installation was simple and the mounting of the kayaks into the racks was very easy. The ONLY complaint that I have about these units was the mounting screws; cheap steel with small pattern Philips heads, they stripped very easy. Instead I used my own 3 1/2" wood screws.

These were exactly what I needed for storing two 14' kayaks on the wall of our garage. Mounting was easy and I took care to drill proper pilot holes and use a good quality screw driver. With that, I had no issues with the screws as others have mentioned. . eTrailer is excellent to work with and I appreciated their communication and updates throughout from purchase to delivery.

Excellent wall racks for our 10 ft. 51 lb. kayaks. Takes some time to get them aligned and installed on the studs but once completed they are fine. Like that they swing flat to the wall when not holding the kayaks. The only negative is that the factory sup[plied screrws are worse than awful - - even with pre-drilled holes as suggested and using a power drill driver the heads stripped almost immediately. So, a quick trip to the local True Value and $7.45 invested for "real" stainless steel screws and done!!

The two kayak mounts I bought work great for our fishing kayaks. I hung two kayaks end to end in the garage and put the other two on the floor under them . I can't believe the amount of floor space that was freed up! The kayaks go on and are taken off of the hangers very easily. Hanging up heavy fishing kayaks is now a one person job. Nice!
The only problem I had was that the screws stripped easily when they were being put into beams so I had to purchase stronger screws.
I am extremely pleased with this product!

I've seen "J" shaped bent tubing that was selling for $2 less and it didn't even have padding. These mount easily to the wall and pivot out of the way; so they would be perfect mounted in a trailer or small garage, so when you take down the Kayak, the rack is out of the way. If I sell my house, I will take these with me!! As an engineer, i wanted to make my own rack, but after finding these, why waste my time.
If you buy these, you won't be sorry, they are great.

- Can I Mount Rhino Rack Kayak Storage Rack to an Enclosed Trailer Wall There are options to carry your kayaks inside your enclosed trailer but Rhino Rack does not recommend part # RRRWHL for that purpose. The Rhino rack storage rack for kayaks is designed to be drilled into a wooden stud of a wall. I recommend Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System part # S65146. I contacted Swagman and as long as the storage system is mounted into some type of support beam in the trailer it will be strong enough to store the kayaks. We also had another customer...
view full answer... - Can I Use the Swagman Tajo # S65146 with a Yakima Grand Tour Cargo Box?It truly depends on what model of Yakima Grand Tour cargo box you have. Since the arm of the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146 extends out about 15-1/2 inches from the wall, it truly depends of the height of your box model. For instance, if you have the Yakima GrandTour Lo Rooftop Cargo Box - 15 Cubic Ft # Y46FR, this would work because the box is only 10" tall. With the Yakima GrandTour Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 Cubic Ft # YA74FR, the box would not fit since it measures...

- Recommended Wall Mount For Kayak That Is 18 Inches DeepI have attached a photo of the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System, part # S65146. As you can see in the photo, the measurements may not work with your 18 inch deep Hobie kayak, but we do have a solution. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Storage Rack for Kayak or Cargo Box, part # RRRWHL. This rack is designed for larger kayaks and can hold a cargo box as well. As the included drawing shows, this has a distance of 28-3/4 inches at the widest part of the rack and would have no problem...

- Best Wall-Mounted Kayak Storage System to Hold Penobscot CanoeWe do have an option for your Penobscot canoe, but after speaking to my contact at Swagman, he said the Swagman Tajo Wall-Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146 you referenced would probably not be the best system for your canoe. The Tajo is made specifically for kayaks and he did not feel comfortable recommending it for your canoe. My recommendation is the Malone HighRise # MPG323. It has a weight capacity of 150 lbs and is 20 inches tall, more than enough room to adequately hold your...

The Malone HighRise Kayak Storage Rack - J-Style - Wall Mount - 1 Kayak, part # MPG323, is a powder coated rack, so it will resist rust and corrosion. It can handle kayaks or canoes that weigh up to 150 lbs. In theory, the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System, part # S65146, can be mounted outside or on the exterior. But this item was not designed for exterior mounting, it is not waterproof nor is...

I also attached a picture that shows this rack being used on a larger kayak like yours as well.

- Easy to Use Kayak Storage Rack for Attaching to Outside WallFor what you described I would recommend the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146. This rack is easy to load and unload and when not in use you can easily fold it to either side to get it out of the way. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Wall-Mount Kayak Storage Rack for 65-Lb KayakI can suggest the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146 since it offers plenty of weight capacity, up to 100-lbs per kayak/carrier. It also features padded J-Style cradles and tie-down straps. It even folds flat against your wall when not in use. Please check out the video I linked to see more on this high-value kayak storage item.
view full answer... - Can the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System Be Mounted OutsideYes, the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System, # S65146, can be used out of doors, but you will see accelerated deterioration of the rubber padding and straps and corrosion on the parts due to being out in the sun and weather. If you have a shaded spot that is protected from the sun and other elements, that would be the best location for hanging the storage system. I added a link to the installation instructions for you to review. I also added a photo that one of our customers...

- Wall Mounted Kayak Carrier for Perception Access KayaksSince your Perception Access Kayaks weigh 55 pounds I recommend going with 2 single kayak wall mount storage racks. The Swagman Tajo # S65146 is an excellent choice and what I recommend for you. This rack has a 100 pound capacity so it can handle a single Perception Access with ease. When securing this carrier to the wall be sure to mount it to wall studs so it is strong enough to hold up the kayaks. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.
view full answer... - What is Weight Capacity of Swagman Tajo Kayak Storage System # S65146I contacted our representative at Swagman about the Swagman Tajo Kayak Storage System, part # S65146. He informed me that the weight limit of this kayak wall mount storage system is 100 lbs. The width of your kayak should not effect mounting it, as each end of the kayak will attach to the arms of the Tajo Kayak Storage System.
view full answer... - Kayak Carriers to Hold 2 Kayaks Vertically on a Pole on a Modified Boat TrailerThe Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System, # S65146, and similar items are not rated for use on a trailer so I cannot say how well they would perform since they are not designed for the stresses of this application. I recommend using a set of J-style carriers, # S65148, to cradle the kayaks and then probably some additional ratchet straps, # EM31352, to hold it all in place.
view full answer... - Are Replacement Parts Available for Rhino-Rack Storage Rack for Kayak or Cargo BoxI checked with Rhino-Rack for you and there is no replacement hardware available for the Rhino-Rack Storage Rack for Kayak or Cargo Box # RRRWHL. So the only option would be a new storage rack, either the same one from Rhino-Rack or a different one, the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146. I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out of both options.
view full answer... - Will the Swagman Tajo # S65146 Fit a 14-Inch Deep Kayak? Yes! You can mount your 14-inch deep kayak with the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146. This is because the measurement from the hardware to the end of the arm measures 15-1/2 inches long. I went ahead and attached a diagram of this dimension for your convenience.

- Swagman Tajo Wall Mount Kayak Rack for Native Ultimate KayakI spoke with my Swagman representative, who told me that as long as your kayak does not weigh more than the 100 lb capacity of the Tajo Wall Mounted Rack, it would work great for you. Keep in mind that the mounting brackets need to be secured through the wallboard and into wall studs, not just to the wallboard itself.
view full answer... - What are the Dimensions of the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage SystemI have included a picture showing the dimensions of the Swagman Kayak storage system, # S65146. It will stick out a total of 15 inches from the wall. At the widest internal point it is about 12 inches. I have also included a link to the installation instructions for you.

- Will the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System Carry an Ocean KayakOcean kayaks are a bit bigger and heavier than standard kayaks so as long as yours doesn't weigh more than 100 lbs the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146 would work well with it. I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well.

I have linked a video showing it in use so you can see what I mean. I would place them so that there is at least 12 inches from the bottom-most part of the top one to the top most part of the lower one. When putting them on the Tajo, load the lower one first. And when removing them remove the top one first. There will be plenty of vertical space on something like a shed...
view full answer... - Will the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System Accept a Current Design Extreme KayakThe overall width of the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System, # S65146, is approximately 18-1/2 inches. But this measurement is important if the rack was mounted in such a way that it was holding the kayak right at the middle at its widest point. You will want to mount the rack to the wall to where the rack is supporting the narrower ends of the kayak. The bottom bar sticks out 11 inches, see picture, so if the kayak is very tall at the ends, it could be awkward to mount it....

- Can Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Rack Mount on Outside of Cargo TrailerSo long as you mount it directly to wall studs, you can mount the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Rack # S65146 wherever you please, including the outside of your enclosed cargo trailer if you like.
view full answer... - Will the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Rack # S65146 Mounting Brackets Install on Wall StudsThe mounting brackets of the Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Rack # S65146 would install easily on the sides of stud boards that are 2 x 4 or 2 x 6. I attached a picture that shows this rack installed on what looks like 2 x 6's for you to check out.
