Review on 🚣 Rhino-Rack Nautic 570 Series Kayak/Canoe Carrier: Secure Transport with Tie Down Straps & Rapid Buckle Protectors by Edwin White

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ONLY for narrow kayaks, NOT for sit-top kayaks

This carrier only fits narrow kayaks, NOT for sit-top kayaks. Especially dangerous for two-seater kayaks. Does not work for Emotion brand kayaks. But I think this item would be great for a narrow fiberglass single seater ocean kayak. The reason for this is that the two pieces (left and right side) may not be wide enough to securely hold a wider kayak. (unless you have a wide SUV. I have a Toyota 4Runner and my crossbars are wide enough for a kayak but not for this clamp. Also check the box, some hidden/preinstalled hardware is missing from my drawer. That is : Half of the bottom plastic clip is missing nuts, so if you read where it says "loose clamps" and there isn't a nut on the clip to tighten, you know you can't assemble the rack, but you need 8. So take a look at your box carefully, Revain offered to replace the box but I didn't get it on time so I went to the store to buy nuts, wish it would work, I have the pictures attached should send them back but at least I know these now The rack doesn't fit my kayak camping kayak Also when you put the kayak on the rack be very careful as the parts will roll onto you make sure that someone help you load it to prevent this. It would be nice if it stayed in place.

Pros
  • Heavy-duty design
Cons
  • Requires socket
