Can the Yakima LowRider Be Fully Submerged to Launch Kayaks
Updated 10/27/2025 | Published 03/03/2025
Question:
Can the Yakima LowRide be backed into the water at the boat ramp? I have two old fishing kayaks and I cant lift them on and off the trailer very easily so backing into the water to remove and install would be good.

Hey Tate, yes you can back the Yakima LowRider # Y82QD right into the water. Since this is a kayak trailer designed to be submerged, all of the bearings and the lights are fully submersible.
What kind of kayaks are you hauling? Going anywhere cool? Feel free to let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!
