Yakima Showdown Assisted Kayak Rack

The first load-assist mount to handle both SUPs and kayaks, makes loading and unloading heavy boats and boards a breeze. The lightweight mount tilts down more than two feet from the roof rack, takes on up to 45% of the boat’s weight, then helps gently raise it up to the top of the vehicle. Once loaded it securely cradles your boat or boards for the ride. At only 21 lbs. it’s super lightweight but built burly enough to wrangle an 80 lb. load.

• Easily load and unload kayaks and boards at waist level at the side of the vehicle with the easy to use slide and tilt mechanism
• 80 lb. boat and board capacity easily handles a large kayak or two boards
• Universal mounting hardware fits most roof racks
• Lightweight materials and construction don’t eat up roof’s carrying capacity
