The Yakima DeckHand is a proven paddler’s favorite for hauling kayaks on the roof of a car. Includes all the necessary tie-down equipment to securely load your kayak for the next road trip.
Product Details
- Simple in design and easy to load, the flexible shape of the DeckHand lets the saddles conform to the hull of your boat for a super-secure, full-contact carry.
- Cradles are felt-padded protecting the hull of your boat.
- Attaching the DeckHand to your crossbars couldn’t be easier with Yakima’s tool-free installation.
- DeckHand saddles are sold in pairs. Combine with rollers or additional saddles for a custom set-up (sold separately).
- Two pairs of saddles, or an additional hand roller, is needed to securely hold one kayak.
- Includes premium HeavyDuty strap and Bow/Stern Tie Down.
