J style
kayak
racks are becoming much more popular now as vehicles keep get
smaller and more streamlined. Smaller vehicles usually get better gas
mileage, so instead of hitting our heads on crossbars that stick out a
foot on either side, we get smaller roof racks. Carrying several boats
on a smaller roof rack is much easier with a J style rack like the
Thule
835pro Hull-a-port Kayak Rack. Not only will the Hull-a-Port PRO
maximize the available space on your roof, it'll even help reduce gas
mileage and wind noise by folding down flat when you're not carrying a
kayak. It comes with all the straps and tiedowns you'll need to carry
one kayak, and the load strap "buckle bumpers" and padded cradles
ensure your kayak's hull will stay in pristine condition.
Rust-resistant, heavy duty steel tubing and hardware mean the
Hull-a-Port PRO will give you years of worry-free operation.
The Hull-a-Port PRO is easy to load and unload, with
a centrally located locking lever to fold and unfold the cradle. A
strap holder at the top of the cradle allows you to put the load straps
in place
before you load the
kayak, so you won't have to reach up and over the boat to tie it down.
Installation should only take a couple of minutes. All you have to do
is stick the mounting bolts down through the bottom of the cradles (you
may need to pull the rubber cushion a bit to the side), set them on the
bars, and attach the mounting plates underneath the crossbars with the
included wingnuts. The Hull-a-Port PRO
kayak
rack installs easily on square bars, round bars, Thule aero bars,
and most factory racks. For mounting on the Thule Xsporter, or on
factory racks with thicker crossbars, Thule's
Xadapt3
Hull-a-Port Adapter Kit provides longer mounting bolts.
