Kayak Carrier Recommendations for Mounting an Old Town Autopilot 136 on 1-1/2 Inch Square Crossbars
Published 05/11/2022 >
Question:
I own an old town autopilot 136 which is a large 100 pound kayak. I have a truck bed rack with 1.5 inch square rails. Which cradles would work with this system? I have a rhino rack assist to get the kayak up to the crossbars but no cradles to secure it.

Expert Reply:
For a great economical option that provides you with the clamp size you need as well as the weight capacity, I recommend the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878. Not only do these cradles fit your 1-1/2 inch square bed rack crossbars, they also provide you with an impressive 150-pound weight capacity for your Autopilot 136. For securing your kayak, the carrier also comes with 2 load straps, 2 bow/stern ties, and 2 anchor straps for all components necessary for safe and snug traveling. As far as construction, the carrier is made of aluminum so you do not need to worry about rust/corrosion.
