My tandem kayak is 83 lbs. and 35" wide. Will this saddle accommodate it?

I was using these with my 65 pound kayak but it is a much narrower boat and couldn't mate up with the hull very well, so it might work good for yours. They flex a lot but seem to handle the weight fine.

Sure will. As they are 2 separate pieces the width is issue. My kayak weighs about 75lbs and it is no problem.

It should. I have a 19.5 ft fiberglass kayak that weighs 63 pounds and I don't have a problem.

I believe it will. My tandem kayak is approximately the same size and weight, and it works perfectly.Good product, I am happy with it, just remember to wet the mount before sliding the kayak on.

I have a oversized kayak and it holds up to 500 lbs and the rack manages it quite well, so I do not see any reasons why it would not.

Yes, My husband just measured it and said that it will work! These are working great for us. My grandson and I can load/unload kayak with ease.

The foot peddles are adjustable so I would imagine it would comfortable. The total cockpit is only 21.5" wide and has a weight limit of 250lbs. The seat and back are padded and very comfortable for a 4 hour / 12 mile trip. I'm 5'7 so I can't say for sure. You can measure yourself and see if you are within the limits. There are Kayaks made especially for taller paddlers.

Should not be a problem, assuming you are in the front saddle. the seat posts height should be able to adjust to accommodate both of you.

not comfortably i think. they sell a "longboard" version that attaches to seat post and rear rack assembly. better to go w this option. this smaller version is only connected to the seat post and intended for shorter boards. too wably for the smaller boards i say

yes, I have carried my 30+ inch wide 70+ pound old town twin otter kayak with my rack w/ no worries!

This this hitch being rated with a 300lb tongue weight and 3000 towing capacity my best guess would be yes. I'm using it to tow a 600lb Jet ski, your kayak might weigh 100lbs with the trailer if your lucky.

I'm not sure. I bought it for my surfboards. They are 9 feet and 8 feet. The straps are pretty wide. I imagine it would be fine but I'm not an expert on the kayak situation.

I would say most would fit. I have a sit in and a sit on and both fit without a problem. I frequently do shuttles with my friend and haul her two kayaks a sit on and thereis no problem. It would not haul a canoe but I can't think of any kayak that would not fit in this type of saddle. These are very easy to use and fit on round type racks as well as other shapes.

Our 13' will fit a 13' 2" kayak. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

I can't speak to your specific boat, but maybe this will be helpful. I have two canoes that this seat will fit. Their width at the point where I install the seat is 36 1/2" and 38" respectively. The seat is designed to flex somewhat; un-flexed it is 35". It is a bit of a stretch to get it on my wider boat, but it does work. I think attempting to put it on an even wider boat would probably overstress the material.

It depends on the width of the kayaks. Measure your cross bar and compare to the width of your kayaks. My tandem kayak is very wide and to fit my tandem kayak along with my single kayak I bought an angled J rack to go along with it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V57NUQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I guess it would work OK, but you might have a problem with it sliding around as the seat moves. It is very thin, but works perfectly in my kayak.

I imagine if you have the width to carry two kayaks you should be able to attach two saddles to your Odyssey.I have an old Saturn VUE. I would be able to attach two sets of the Gilde & Set saddles but would not be able to fit the width of two kayaks. Hope this helps.

From what I have seen, the seat on that kayak is set up the same as this one. Two straps clipped to the front of it and two clipped behind it. It should fit fine.

It will fit with a little change to the way the straps attach to kayak. The two I bought with some modification toThe (two set inside ) kayaks fit great and have improved back support and seat comfort 100%.

I think the pulleys will go wide enough for a tandem. That said, I would not buy this one. The other hoists that are designated for canoes and kayaks have double-rope systems which seems to lift the item evenly (both ends go up at the same rate). This one lifts one end and you have to manually level-out the load. At least that's how it works for me.
