YAKIMA ShowDown Roof-Mounted Kayak and SUP Rack for Vehicles

Crafted to effortlessly handle both stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) and kayaks, the first load-assist mount makes the process of loading and unloading heavy boats and boards a breeze. Capable of taking on up to 45 percent of the boat's weight, the lightweight mount tilts down more than 2 feet from the roof rack, gently raising the vessel up to the top of the vehicle. Once secured, the mount cradles your boat or boards securely for the ride. Weighing only 21 lbs., this robust yet lightweight solution can wrangle an 80 lb. load.

With a weight of 23.00 lbs. and dimensions of L 42.00 in x W 9.00 in x H 9.00 in, the "ShowDown" mount offers a hassle-free loading and unloading experience. Tilting down 26" from roof rack height, it provides 30-45 percent weight assistance, making it a breeze to manage kayaks and boards.

Capable of carrying 1 large kayak or 2 stand-up paddleboards with a total weight of 80 lbs., the mount's lightweight materials and construction leave ample carrying capacity for other gear. Its universal mounting hardware fits most roof racks, with a minimum crossbar spread of 24" required.

To ensure the protection of your valuable equipment, the mount's felt-covered cradles shape around the kayak or boards, providing secure transport. All necessary tie-down straps are included, and the mount is compatible with SKS Lock Cores (sold separately) for added security.

Installation is a simple and quick process, and when not in use, the mount folds down flat to reduce drag, noise, and increase clearance. To ensure compatibility with your vehicle, refer to the Yakima Fit My Car Tool.

In summary, this versatile and user-friendly load-assist mount is the ideal solution for effortlessly transporting both kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Its robust yet lightweight design, weight-bearing capabilities, and protective features make it a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize convenience and the safe transport of their valuable equipment.
