Marco kayak saddles for factory racks fit most of the wide aerodynamic crossbars that come on a vehicle from the factory. They cradle your kayak and spread its weight over a wide surface, which helps prevent oil-canning and stress cracks in composite boats. They work especially well with round or Vee-bottom touring kayaks, and they're made here in Clearwater, Florida.
Load It from the Rear
The saddles are designed for loading from the back of the vehicle. Rest the bow of the kayak on the rear saddle, then walk back, lift the stern and push the kayak up onto the front saddle. Because each saddle is one piece, the kayak can't fall through the middle while you load, the way it can with two-piece carriers.
