Are The Mounting Brackets For the Malone MicroSport Storage Trunk Available Separately?

Question

Question:

Hi, I just purchased a used Malone trailer that came with a storage trunk. Since the trunk is just a plane Plano Storage box I have a bunch of them already. Can I just get the mounting brackets to add a 2nd one to the trailer? Since I already have a bunch of the trunks it seems silly to have to buy another just for the brackets. Thanks

Currently Malone does not offer the mounting brackets separate from the Storage Trunk Kit # MPG481 for a MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G.

Hey Russell, good question. It really comes down to what you’re carrying and how many boats you want on the roof. The V-style carriers are more of a “keep it simple” setup. They hold the kayaks flat, side-by-side, which is great for stability and…
