The Yakima Kayak Stacker (8004036) is an efficient kayak rack system that can hold several kayaks by transporting them vertically, on their sides, against two non-scratch coated steel upright posts. Because the kayaks stack vertically on their sides when mounted to the Yakima Kayak Stacker, you have more room for several boats or the option to carry kayaks alongside other gear carriers without running out of car rack cross bar space.
The versatile 'arrow' top hooks make it super quick and easy to securely tie off the kayak(s). Mounts directly to round Yakima base rack crossbars and Inno Racks & Thule square load bars. Also compatible with factory roof rack cross bars when used in combination with a set of Yakima Universal MightyMounts or Yakima Horizontal Mighty Mounts (not included; see accessory add-ons below). Includes pair of Kayak Stacker upright posts, two 16' heavy-duty padded straps and two bow & stern tie-down straps. For complete kayak protection, we recommend using the KayakStacker in combination with Yakima bar pads (not included; see accessory add-ons below).
The Yakima Kayak Stackers work great with all types of hard-shell, plastic kayaks including river, whitewater and recreational kayaks.
Quickly tie off kayaks using the versatile 'arrow' top hooks and the included pair of heavy-duty 16' straps with padded buckles.
Quickly installs onto round Yakima base rack crossbars and Inno Racks & Thule square load bars. This kayak carrier is also compatible with factory roof rack cross bars when used in combination with a set of Yakima Universal Mighty Mounts adapters or Yakima Horizontal MightyMounts adapters (not included; see accessory add-ons below).
Long lasting stainless steel hardware.
Because the kayaks are carried on their sides there's no need to have to use longer base rack cross bars, even when loading several kayaks!
For complete boat protection, we recommend using the Kayak Stacker in combination with Yakima crossbar pads (not included; see accessory add-ons below).
Pair of Yakima Bow & Stern tie-down straps included. If carrying more than one kayak we recommend additional Yakima Bow/Stern tie-down straps (see accessory add-ons below) for each boat.
We highly recommend the Inno Racks INA451 Cradle Set (not included; see accessory add-ons below) for easy loading of kayaks onto kayak stacker style kayak racks. The Inno INA451 prevents each kayak from sliding down and holds it upright & in place when loading.
