Kayak Carrier and Roof Rack for 2017 Mazda 3 hatchback  

Published 03/10/2020

Question:

I just bought a 2018 Native Watercraft Manta Ray propel 12. What would be the best kayak rack carrier to fit this kayak on a 2017 Mazda 3 hatch? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

The 2018 Native Watercraft Manta Ray propel 12 that you have weighs 89 lbs so you'd need a kayak carrier with more weight capacity like the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs # S65145 that you referenced. This is a really solid carrier option that's easier to load and very stable so I would recommend it for you.

You will need a roof rack installed on your 2017 Mazda 3 hatchback if you do not have one already. For that the Rhino Rack Vortex roof rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK410 is a really great option.

It's a high quality rack that's easy to install and also has aero shaped crossbars which are quieter than other bar shapes.
