🚣 Enhance Your Kayak Loading with Malone Stinger Kayak Load Assist Module for Malone SeaWing Saddles Review

A very useful device. My kayak slides up slightly. A part was missing, but Malone quickly sent a new one. I have an old version with soft pads on the V-Block - this one doesn't have it and still works fine. I have it on my Subaru Crosstrek and have used it. with Kevlar Gulfstream and Dagger Stratos 14L.

I'm 5ft 2" and have a Chrysler minivan. My surf skis are light but 19 feet long. My taller friends with shorter cars just use the trunks on the side to lift their boats. There was no way to do it. With this system I can safely place my boat on my car. I just nose the boat into the loader and run it over the saddles. Very easy and my boat is safe. I love it when something works the way it should.

I returned this product. If you want to scratch the roof of your kayak vehicle, you can do it for free. Effortless installation. The funny thing is, Malone's kayak racks are great. I've installed two sets in the Yukon, no fuss, no hassle. But this jump start block doesn't help at all. Take a look at the Thule 854 Kayak Carry Mat with Waterslide. Tear the roof off your ride.

I am a very happy owner! Thanks to this article, loading a heavy long kayak on the Subaru Outback won't be a big deal! It's easy enough to put the nose of the kayak in the "V" position and then push up, it slides straight to the attachment point. It doesn't take a fraction of the force it would take for a 5ft 4in, 130lb woman to attempt to lift herself overhead, so I'm very glad I accidentally found this item. Allows independents. I recommend using a heated towel rail or something soft to avoid

I have this to load a kayak onto a large SUV. The saddle must be ordered separately to attach the loader to the trunk of a car. However, instead of a forklift saddle, I bought a small, thick metal plate from Home Depot with pre-drilled holes. I had to cut the panel with a jigsaw (metal cutting blade) and it worked great attaching the charger to the trunk of the car. Instead of saddles, I use foam blocks on both ends, which are a lot cheaper. So I use a forklift to load the kayak and then move…
