Great product. Love the contents of the kit. All you need to secure a canoe on a Yakima roof rack. Ordering was easy. Price matched a sale elsewhere. Customer service was outstanding and kept me apprised of progress and delivery.

Trailer worked great to transport my canoe!
Thanks for your customer service.

Arrived yesterday & installed today. My truck cap rack is not a Yakima and has rectangle bars. The Yakima Portage is universal and fits great. Also seem to be very high quality. Don't waste your $ on foam canoe blocks. Spend the extra money to protect your investment.
by:
I've been using the product for two summers now and it is perfect for what I'm using it for. My canoe is an Old Town Discovery 133, it's very wide and I initially had trouble fitting it in the brackets with how relatively narrow my Rav4 is, but the instructions that came with them mentioned I could just flip them around. That worked perfectly.

I only use the brackets and the tie down straps from the kit to tie the boat to the crossbars, and then use the painter lines I put on the bow and stern of the boat to tie those to the car. That rides on the highway very easily with no shifting. With two people, the load/unload time is around 10 minutes as long as one person knows what they are doing.

This kit had exactly what I was looking for, seems built to last, and if I ever need another kit to help tie a canoe to a car then I know I can trust this product to get the job done safely and reliably.

1 year later and I havent even taken the brackets off of my car. They are still in perfect condition, dont slip, and Ive never had an issue hauling my canoe on the highway. Easiest way to transport a canoe without an actual canoe trailer.

by:
I purchased the product to make it possible to haul a 30+ year-old White fiberglass canoe on the standard roof-rack of a 2013 Subaru Outback. The kit works very well, but some experimentation was involved. Due to the tapering width of the canoe, I use haul kit with the front guides reversed to face the inside of the canoe gunwhales. In the back the guides are used as intended, facing the outside of the gunwhales.
by:
it is a decent cheap solution to putting a canoe on a factory rack. with some fiddling around i got the brackets onto my 99 explorer crossbars. the canoe goes on easily and you can really make it very secure using all the straps and tie-downs that are included. the bad thing is it is difficult to get canoe down by yourself it has to be lifted up and over the Keelover brackets. two people- no problem
by:
Easy to install with Ikea-like instructions. It held a heavy 15' fiberglass canoe to the top of my 2013 Subaru perfectly for more than 1000 miles. I checked the straps at every stop and only had to tighten them once, and not very much at that. Excellent system when using the factory roof rack. Etrailer.com was great at answering my questions and ensuring that I got what I needed.
by:
Managers at Scheels Store were impressed with the product and how easily it adapted on the vehicle (99 GMC Yukon) and how the canoe easily mated and secured onto the carrier. It was a lot better product for carrying canoes than was offered by Cabellas or Scheels. It secured our new canoe perfectly for our drive home 65 miles away. No shifting or loosening of the tie-downs. Top Notch.
by:
In 2015 I purchased roof racks and a t hitch for my new Tahoe. The purpose was to allow me to load and haul a canoe. I love the products. Ordering and delivery could not have been easier.
by:
The canoe brackets are well made, sturdy and really cling in place on the round cross bars. We've used them several times and like them a lot. The only problem, apparently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was that it took over three months to arrive.
by:
Very happy with the product. I had a hard time finding clips for my factory luggage rack that would hold my wood strip securely in place on the roof of my CRV. These clips are perfect and the price was outstanding since the kit included all of the straps as well. I've never used etrailer before but I've since bookmarked them for future use.
by:
Fast service. Thanks!
by:
Easy to add to my rack. Takes 10 minutes to install.
by:
ETrailer.com is awesome. I'm not real happy with the road Yakima is going down but I've been using their racks for over 30 years. ETrailer's service and prices are great!
by:
Just received product, but I'm enthusiastic about putting it to use to standardize my kayak transport.

Good service from etrailer.
by:
works great and don't slip on crossbar.

While this wasn't the product we originally ordered, this is the replacement. It works as well and secures just as easy as the older model.

Easy to install and very secure.

Product was as advertised, however it was missing four bolts that I had to get at a hardware store, but other than that it was fine. Service from etrailer team was outstanding.

Excellent product! We have two other sets!

Product works as expected. Makes canoe transport much simpler. Delivery was faster than I expected.

Haven't used this item yet but based on years of canoeing it looks complete.

The product was perfect but the real reason I'm happy with this purchase is your excellent web site and service.

Do you have a question about this Watersport Carrier?
  • Mounting Hardware Needed to Mount Older Yakima Accessories to Aero-Style Crossbars
    If you have a variety of older Yakima products that you want to mount to crossbars that are 2-1/2" wide x 3/4" tall then the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 would be your best bet. These adapters fit a wide variety of Yakima products but they are somewhat specific. If you can let me know what products you are wanting to mount them on I can see about verifying if these will fit or what other parts you may need.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Track System for Truck Topper to Carry Canoe on 2012 Toyota Tundra CrewMax
    We can get you the parts needed to install a roof rack on your truck topper so you can haul your canoe. There are advantages to systems in regards to quality and value, and for your application the best fit is from Rhino-Rack, who is known for their quality, which is consistent with other brands, but often not with as high a price tag. What I recommend is: - Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount # Y02-490B This will give you 59 inch crossbars on your camper shell,...

  • What Size Crossbars Does the Yakima KeelOver Canoe Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs Y04069 Fit?
    Hey Nathan congrats on the new SUV. So long as your ARB roof rack has crossbars that are no larger than 3-1/2" tall x 3-1/2" wide than the Yakima KeelOver Canoe Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs item # Y04069 will indeed work. This canoe rack is designed to wrap around round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory crossbars. It does not install in t-slots so you will want to take a couple measurements to confirm your crossbars size. What size are your 4Runner's crossbars and what kind of canoe...

  • Kayak, Canoe, and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition
    Hey Dave, I checked with Yakima and their racks all fit the OEM crossbars of your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition. So for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 would fit and be a great option. For a canoe carrier you could use the KeelOver part # Y04069, and then for a bike rack the FrontLoader part # Y02103. In order to know if there are aero bar style adapters for your current racks I would need to know specifically what racks you have so I can look them up.

  • Recommended Bike, Cargo, and Canoe Carriers for a 2017 Chevy Equinox with Factory Roof Rack
    For your 2017 Chevy Equinox I recommend using the Thule UpRide # TH599000 for your bikes because of how easy it is to use and you don't have to remove your front wheel to transport your bike. To carry your canoe I highly recommend the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # Lockrack # LR54FR for a few reasons. The first is that it can accommodate pretty much any boat style out there and the second reason is that this carrier has integrated locks that help grip your canoe and eliminate...

  • Recommended Trailer to Carry 16 Foot Canoe
    You are absolutely right that for your 16-1/2 foot canoe the best option is a trailer because this is going to make it much, much simpler for you to haul your canoe; you'll be able to spend a lot more time in the water and a lot less time loading and unloading your canoe. I highly recommend the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 because it is essentially a roof rack on wheels and has a low loading height to make it easy to take your canoe on and off. Aside from this, one of the best...

  • Thule Portage or Yakima Keel Over Kayak Rack Recommendation
    Between the Thule Portage # TH819 and the Yakima KeelOver part # Y04069 I would go with the Portage. It is going to be easier to use and secure since it has the ratcheting tie-downs that you referenced as the pulleys. That will make securing the bow/stern tie downs much easier. Aside from that the two carriers are pretty similar, but the edge goes to the Thule because of the ratchets.

  • Can Yakima KeelOver Canoe Rack Install on Aero Bars that Aren't Perfectly Level
    Hey Andrew, there's a bit of flexibility in how you could attach the KeelOver rack part # Y04069 to your crossbars which would allow you to compensate for the top or bottom of your bars not being perfectly flat but in general usually the top of a crossbar is pretty flat. Is it possible that while yours aren't parallel with the roof they still happen to be level relative to the ground?

  • How to Carry a Kayak and a Canoe on a 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
    I do have an option for you but we don't really have any feasible solutions for you to carry both a kayak and canoe on the roof of your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon at the same time. Instead, I recommend placing both the kayak and canoe on a pull behind trailer like the Malone EcoLight Trailer part # MAL. In order to pull a trailer with your vehicle you will need a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For this I recommend using the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch part # 75673,...

  • Are the Yakima JetStream Crossbars on a 2019 Subaru Ascent Compatible w/ Yakima & Thule Attatchments
    The TimberLine Towers # Y33TR and Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 are confirmed to fit your 2019 Subaru Ascent and are going to be a great option to use both your Thule Portage Canoe attachment and Yakima Keel Over Canoe attachment. You will be able to use the Thule Portage and the Yakima Keel Over with the JetStream crossbars without issue. You can also add the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204. This will allow you to lock your roof rack to your roof.

  • Recommended Trailer For 17 Foot Canoe
    Hey Rick, We can definitely get you set up with a trailer so you can haul your 17 foot Old Town canoe, and for that what's going to work best for you is a trailer from Malone: - Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LB I like the # MPG464-LB a lot because its crossbars are just 22 inches off the ground, which is going to help load your canoe, which can be a bit awkward just due to its size and weight. The crossbars on the LowBed have a 500 lb weight capacity, which is more than...

  • Can Yakima Canoe Trailer Carry Two Old Town Penobscot 164 Canoes
    Hello Denham; the Yakima Canoe Trailer for 2 Canoes # Y84TR holds two boats up to 16' long. However, this is technically the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 with the addition of the Yakima KeelOver Canoe Rack # Y04069. This means you can add the Tongue Extension Kit for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08109 to increase the maximum boat length to 21' for two boats. With the addition of the tongue extension you will be able to carry your Old Town Penobscot 164 Canoes. Where do you usually...

    Thank you for all of the information! Even though your 5th wheel towing does limit what you can install at the back of your 2019 Ram 2500, this just means that we need to utilize the front of your pickup. What I recommend doing is installing the Curt Front Mount Hitch # C31089 along with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System which consists of 59" Vortex Bars # RRVA150B-2 Black or # RRVA150S-2 Silver, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the Fit Kit # DK043.

    The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 would be able to handle the 26 kg (57-ish lbs) weight of your canoe just fine but the shape of canoes and kayaks are different enough that the Hullavator Pro won't be able to properly secure your canoe since it's designed specifically for kayaks so we'll need to go another route.

It can fit the 48" crossbar spread you're needing without requiring a third crossbar for support and accepts any Yakima mount accessory that works with a crossbar spread of 41" to help you haul additional recreational equipment. With this cargo carrier you can use the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal...

  • Can Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Carry A 16 Ft Canoe
    I went to our warehouse and took some measurements of the Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer, part # Y08107. I have attached a photo of the trailer with the dimensions shown. From the center of the hitch ball coupler to the center of the front crossbar in its forward most position it measures 83 inches. The crossbars can be spread 48 inches. This would give you 1-1/2 inches of trailer behind the rear crossbar. That means 70 inches of your canoe will hang off the back of the trailer if you place...

    In order to carry a canoe and or kayak on your 2019 Ram 1500 I recommend placing them on a roof rack with a roof mounted carrier as you don't really have any other options when towing a trailer. For a roof rack, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Crossbar System which is composed of part # Y00423, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06135. This system has aero shaped cross bars for reduced wind noise and a sleek look. In order to secure a canoe and or kayak to the above roof rack, I recommend using...

    Other than the front mount hitch for your 2015 Ford F-350 such as # 65049 you will also need at least a single roof rack bar and a carrier of some kind to hold the canoe. This would be in addition to a support used in the front mount hitch. For a single roof rack bar you could save some money and use the Darby Turbo rack # DTA968. It uses a strap that runs through the interior of the vehicle to secure to the roof. Otherwise I recommend a regular roof rack with 2 crossbars for more support...

  • Can I Use Crossbars Wider Than My Vehicles Roof
    As long as the crossbars you use aren't wider than the widest part of the vehicle (usually the mirrors), which could be a safety problem or even illegal in some areas, you could certainly use longer crossbars than the 58 inch crossbars. Since your Toyota Camry's roof is 71 inches wide at its widest point using 66 inch crossbars like # Y00410 would be just fine. You could also use the 78 inch bar like # Y00411 and cut it down to 71 inches. Whether this will be long enough will depend on...

  • Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2017 Honda CR-V with Factory Crossbars
    I have a solution for you, but I can't recommend you use the Yakima KeelOver part # Y04069 backwards. Instead you'd want to use Swagman Exo Aero # S65145 which installs on the bars and then allows you to carry the canoe right side up and would prevent the width issues you mentioned. I attached a picture of it used to carry a kayak but it would work with a canoe in the same way.

Then for your canoe, I recommend the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal Mount # Y04069 which comes with the tie downs and support needed.
