Mako Aero Saddles
These practical saddle-style rooftop kayak mounts come with all the hardware you need to secure your boat with a kung-fu grip, yet cradle it gently and keep it looking pretty. Mako Aero saddles fit car rack systems with factory crossbars out of the box, and offer SKS security. Mako Aero rooftop kayak mounts are sold in sets of two, so you can pair them with another set to carry one kayak. Or for super ease of loading, you can pair them with boat load assist HullyRollers.
