2008 Yakima ShowBoat Roof Rack Roller System (4040) - Universal Yakima Kayak-Canoe Rollers
click image above for larger view

2008 Yakima ShowBoat Roof Rack Rollers System<br>fits all styles of crossbars including factory racks

Yakima has finally solved the issue of loading / unloading a kayak or canoe (ladders & lumber too) pain-free and no double hernia! Introducing the Yakima ShowBoat Roof Rack Roller System. First things first, the Yakima ShowBoat includes universal mounts enabling the roller system to fasten directly to virtually all factory rack cross bars as well as any aftermarket roof rack bars including Yakima bars and any Thule bars. Secondly, the Yakima Show Boat works seemlessly with virtually all kayak racks and canoe racks, whether transporting a boat flat, semi-vertically in a j-cradle style carrier or completely on its side with a kayak stacker model. Attach the roller system on top of the roof rack crossbars when using in combination with kayak racks and below the crossbars when using lower profile canoe racks such as Gunwale Brackets or Load Stops. So easy to use, the Showboat simply slides out as far as you need it to clear the rear of your vehicle. Place the front of your boat (or ladder & lumber etc) onto the roller and roll the canoe or kayak right up and into position on the kayak rack or canoe rack. Finally retract the Yakima Show Boat roller sytem into its stored position and you are all set!

NOTE: A pair of Yakima 66" bars (not included; see order options below) are required for use with the Yakima Showboat to serve as the extension bars. The 66 inch bars offer up to 24 inches of extension. If longer extension required for clearing rear of vehicle then choose the Yakima 78" length bars instead for over 34" of rear extension.

  • Includes universal mounts enabling the roller system to fasten directly to virtually all factory rack cross bars as well as any aftermarket roof rack bars including Yakima bars and any Thule bars.
  • Works seemlessly with virtually all canoe carriers and kayak carriers, whether transporting a boat flat in kayak saddles or canoe gunwale brackets, semi-vertically in a j-cradle style carrier or completely on its side with a kayak stacker model.
  • Yakima 8004040 Showboat canoe-kayak roller system can attach on top of the roof rack crossbars when using in combination with kayak racks and below the crossbars when using lower profile canoe racks such as Gunwale Brackets or Load Stops.
  • Premium padded roller for easy sliding and protection.
  • Roller slides from side to side to allow loading of multiple boats in multiple carriers.
  • All stainless steel and brass hardware for superior corrosion resistance.
  • Tamperproof system built right in. No additional locking hardware necessary.
  • Besides serving as the perfect kayak roller or canoe roller system the Yakima ShowBoat is also ideal for other long items such as ladders, lumber, pipes etc. Attaches to truck rack and van rack crossbars for commercial purposes.
  • Easy-to-follow Yakima 4040 Show Boat instructions included.
  • Yakima Racks Lifetime Warranty!
