Do I Need to Mount the Boats on the Crossbars of my Malone MegaSport Trailer
Updated 11/28/2020 | Published 11/27/2020
Question:
Can I just mount my kayak racks directly to the bed of the trailer instead of using the crossbars?

Expert Reply:
I suppose you could use the Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer - 86" Crossbars - 1000 lbs # MPG535 in this manner, but I don't necessarily recommend it since it's just going to scratch up the boats and might potentially obscure the lights and license plate.
Typically we recommend using a kayak carrier on the crossbars to carry your boats since this is the safest and provides the easiest loading and unloading option for your kayaks; a good low cost option to protect the hulls of the boats is the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 18" Long # MPG152. These foam blocks come with tie down straps included, so it would give you everything you need to protect and secure one boat on the MegaSport trailer.
