Can you put two of these systems on a Honda Odyssey, we have 2 Ocean Kayak Malibu two xl kayaks. Would like to place 2 systems on the roof racks

I could easily put two on my Toyota Siena ( currently using one) and carry my kayaks. I have factory roof racks with two cross bars,

Two of the mounts will fit, but that's not the issue. It's about the combined width of two kayaks that sit on top of them vs the width of the roof rack.There are other systems specifically designed to mount two kayaks that may be a better way to go about it.

Hi Joe - you would definitely need to have aftermarket crossbars installed to accommodate the widths of both of these kayaks on the carrier. You may also need to upsize the bars from what is recommended. Also, please be sure to be attentive to the weight limits of the vehicle, as each of those kayaks are quite heavy.

Yes it should. I would recommend the Thule Water Slide to avoid scratching the roof as you slide them up.

Won't be an exact answer but I can give you my impressions. I attached this to a 2008 Honda Odyssey for a 6000 mile round trip. The mounting brackets seem as though they would fit a large number of crossbars on a roof rack. Not specific to any certain model. It mounted easily and worked great. It is on the smaller side of any I have seen in person. Was just the amount of room we needed though. I think it would look/fit fine on smaller vehicles. It looked slightly small on the Odyssey, which is not a large vehicle. It attaches to the crossbar with U-bolts that were plenty wide for my crossbars.

Laura, the total height of rack is 18" from top to bottom of hook. And yes you can place one above the another, I have two on one wall in the garage. However, if you do that, you must leave ample room between the two kayaks. I measured mine, it was 23" from the bottom of the top rack hook to the top of the bottom rack. Also, be sure to place the brackets as seen in the picture, one must be right under the bar that supports the kayak. I hope that helps, they work for us just fine. Gary

You should be able to get two kayaks side-by-side.I use mine on a Ford Windstar minivan and could easily get two on my rack. Great Lakes makes a wedge for these racks that tilts them up at an angle to allow more room for more than one kayak.

Steve -- This product only handles one Kayak. You would need to buy 2 to accomodate a 2nd Kayak. However, the installation is very easy and I am very satisfied with this product.

Yes one set of racks holds one Kayak. I own two kayaks so I have one flat and the other on the J rack. You could possible put two sets on your rack and have your Kayaks back to back if you own a small vehicle. I hope that answers your questions.

This product will only hold one kayak. You can fit two sets of them on top of a vehicle in order to carry two kayaks.

Two side by side will not fit......two with one on outboard seats definitely fit but no adult will be comfortable between them.....even on a Honda Odyssey with the middle row expanded.

check the width of your rails for two wings. I use one wing on a "V" shaped kayak and Rhino Nautic 571 on a more flat bottom kayak. I have a larger vehicle.

Yes. I have two sets of the racks to carry both kayaks. Simple installation, and they work very well with my 2014 outback

You should, I did without problem. I also added two kayak mounts. You have to make the nuts very tight - I don't think this makes a difference between products as the vibration over time tent to loosen any temporary connection.

Sorry for the delay. And honestly it's been a while and we are trying to remember. We bought our racks to carry 3 kayaks. My husband did a little engineering but it works like a dream. You do need a certain kind of rail on your cover in order for the racks to fit. We did a lot of research on the Pace Edwards website before we purchased. We found all of our answers there. Good luck.

Yes. Agree with the 2 other answers I see. You should not have an issue carrying two kayaks.

A single kayak should be OK. I tried two and the bars flex too much and pushed the ends out so much they would not stay tight in the roof grooves. Anything more then that and I'd spend more for a better quality rack. It's cheap but gets the job done with limitations

I would guess that your kayak dimension would be fine for this rack since you use tie downs to secure it. We have 17ft (by 2.5ft) ocean kayaks on ours. For us the weight restrictions weren't actually for the boat rack- it was the car rack (what the boat rack is attached to) that had weight limitations. We have no complaints about this rack at all. What we did have problems with the fact that our car rack bars are pretty close together, so our 17ft kayaks are pretty long for our car. (Hyundai tuscon)

Beverly, I don't if ALL kayaks fit; I don't know ALL kayaks. I use the SeaWing to carry my Ocean Kayak Torque kayaks on top of a Dodge Caravan. I use the factory rack and the SeaWings fit nicely. The Torques are ~14ft long, almost 30" wide and weigh ~75 lbs. each; they are larger than average. I have driven at 70 mph and the kayaks are stable up there. The biggest reason I have these SeaWings is that I can drive into the garage with them during kayaking season, and don't have to take them off all the time. &lt;&lt;http://g-lu.smugmug.com/Family/2012-Christmas/i-nsrHfXs/A&gt;&gt;

They are just nylon straps that form a loop, so you could conceivably arrange your kayaks in any form within the nylon straps. But I would suspect that they will tend to move around, so you may want to use bungie chords or some other fastener to "tie" the kayaks in place then wrap the nylon straps around the bundle of boats!
