Just bought a Equinox kayak with very large solo opening of 51" long by 25"1/2 wide at large end. What do you recommend? The 60/23?

I don't know what the sizes are, but I order one with dimensions that were close to the opening size and it fits well.

I would say 230 is probably best but it also depends on the width of your kayak. In most cases I would say 230 is best. 240cm might be good if your kayak is like 34+ inches wide. Yes it depends on what kind of kayaking you're doing too. If you're maneuvering white water, maybe shorter 220cm.

Go to the dry bag website for a sizing chart. I normally used a 5 liter or small bag for kayaking. Each company is a little different with the sizes. Also double check what the Amazon seller is saying for the size. This bag is a good one.

Rhonda, in my case I would have to say it is only good for one. I have a Moken 12.5 that is 32" wide. I have been looking at getting a touring kayak, and I have been thinking the same question about transporting two.

I have no idea how to use the sizing chart. I just got on the companies website and put in my kayak brand and it told me which one to get.

The short board single listing says it can accommodate width up to 21" wide. In my communications with the seller, they were very precise about their descriptions and measurements. A 6'3"x21" wide bag is probably actually wider than 21" to be able to fit a 21" wide board and the thickness of the board. 20.25 isn't super wide, so you should be all good unless your board is super thick. If you have time, send a note to the seller with your board dimensions to be sure. They are very responsive. If you need to order immediately the few extra inches of width on the Fish/Retro wouldn't be a problem. The only downsides of a little extra room is it may twist/shift a little inside and any slack may vibrate in the wind when driving with it on your roof. Then again, a little extra room means you can stuff your wetsuit in there?

Get a 2X4 the length of your kayak's width. Cut multiple slots in it and run the straps through. More slots you cut more loops you can make. Make the farthest slots the width of your kayak. The two slots near center where straps exit should be 5 inch apart. Shopped HomeDepot for something ready made. Shelving ,grills. Don't trust those wire weldings. Keep the strap around kayak loosely so you can get the straps on and off easily.I received my hoist this week. Install is a cinch if you follow youtube video for a competitor brand. The ropes are low quality. Easily frayed. Get a 2X4 the length of your kayak's width. Cut multiple slots in it and run the straps through. More slots you cut more loops you can make.

You should be able to put one end of the paddle on the ground, and curl your fingertips over the other end at the second knuckle. This will likely be about a 200mm length. However, there are other considerations. It also depends on your kayak and the type of water your plan to kayak in. If your kayak has a wide, stable bottom, you might find the extra length of a 210mm more comfortable. If you plan on river kayaking, the shorter 200mm will be easier to maneuver around river obstacles. If you will only be in lakes, I would go with a 210mm, or even a 220mm. If you plan river kayaking, I think you will be happier with the 200mm. My wife is 5'3". Shis is a beginner, and really likes her 190mm, because we mostly river kayak. This model of paddle is not too expensive, so if you buy it and then don't like the length, you can buy another length and sell this one used on Amazon or some other site and will only be out about $30.

I bought mine last fall and have not used them. I will next week for a 60# plastic sea kayak. I have checked it out and feel that's its well made and should be able to handle about anything you can fit on them

Mine is a 15 foot boat with windshield, it has plenty slag, but 4 foot longer, in my opinion, it either marginal or risky, I would get next size. you probably knew, returning a item is pain and costly. Good luck.....

I cant answer, i use one j hook per kayak. The straps are very long so the kayak model should not be an issue. I do not use the long straps. Gravity and the angle of the bend in the hook keep my tarpon 120 in place. Both my kayaks are 12 feet long and weigh 60-80 lbs depending on cargo. I am short 5'7 and i can lift them off the hooks easily.

I have two 10 ft kayaks. One of them is Old Town Vapor. They both feet perfectly on Malone j-pro, on top of my 2011 Honda CR-V.

Should be more than adequate. I have a hobie outback that is little over 12' and if any problem it is too big. It is not really moisture proof but keeps dirt and debris off. Moisture obviously not an issue for a kayak.

Adjustable clamps. And you can adjust the width to fit your kayak. I have had good luck with them.

For your height, you would probably be good with a 220cm to 230cm depending on the width of your kayak.

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.

Measure the width of your Kayaks. That is the number you should use. The base of these racks don't take up much room on your crossbars. It more depends on how long your crossbars are and how wide your yaks measure. BTW, these are super easy to use and are very stable!
