Distance Between Brackets On 2nd Tier Load Bar System for Malone MegaSport Kayak Trailer
Updated 01/27/2026 | Published 08/26/2024
Question:
I am looking at this item you sell. MPG545 Can you tell me the distance between the brackets where they mount on the cross members. I am looking to possibly install on a heavier built trailer than the malone. I cant find any specs or anything in the directions and online. You guys are my only hope. Thanks Mike

Hi Mike; the distance between front and rear brace plates/vertical tubes on the # MPG545 is 70". The distance between the front brace plate/vertical tube to the brace bracket/brace tube is 42". I attached a diagram below for your reference.
