INNO INA451 Accessory Cradle Set- Stopper for Kayak Stackers

Bought 2 sets of these as a supplement to my Yakima bigstack. Do exactly what they're designed to do. 4 stars for 2 reasons. You can't lock them, and if you aren't very careful you will cut all the way through your paint on top of your car. This is due to the bolts being too long, for my rack at least. There are other sharp metal edges that will scratch up your car if you are installing and removing these frequently. If you're careful they are a great product!

I have a horizontal Tulley rack that supports kayaks on two sides. Normally, you have to tie these several times around the rack, and then tie the kayaks front and back to the bumpers. These stoppers squeeze the kayaks on the outside of the car (kayaks on their sides). combined with a simple strap, the canoes are held so firmly that they cannot be twisted out of line. I no longer attach bow and stern lines to bumpers. They are simple to install and simple to use.

both of my kayaks fit and dont move at all with this bundled with the malone stax pro2. I used these to replace the foam blocks that came with the malone stax pro 2 and they work a million times better/faster!!

You would think they could have made the bolts slightly longer to fit other rack cross members, besides their own. The bolts are so short they do not fit anything other than a very thin cross support.Now I have to go find new bolts and the bolt hex head probably will not fit the plastic handles, so I will not be able to use those. Stay away if you use Yakima or any cross member with any size. They are also just lightweight plastic, very over-priced.

This was super easy to apply to my Durango roof rack. I have the Thule stacker. I bought one cradle set, so for a long time we would load one kayak on one side and then someone would have to hold the other kayak upright on the other side until the straps were tightened. The first set has held up well, so I finally got another set so both kayaks can be balanced while the straps are being applied and tightened.

This item is a must when paired with the Thule 830 - The Stacker Kayak Carrier.I ordered one set to try it out and quickly realized that this item is a must, especially if you are loading the kayak(s) alone. It holds the kayak in place so that you can tie it down without it slipping.

Great add on for a kayak stacker. This makes using my Thule 830 Stacker much, much easier as the cradles prevent the kayak from falling off before it is strapped down. It also came with a set of tie down straps which will I can used to tie down a 2nd kayak.

Pad to protect the kayaks during transport and makes loading/unloading easier and safer.

Works to position the boat and hold it in place while tied to roof rack.

Easy to mount on vehicle.
