Yakima BoatLoader Canoe and Kayak Side Loading System Specifications
After a full day of paddling, the last thing you want to do is spend 20 minutes loading your canoe onto a poorly designed rooftop rack. Enter the Yakima BoatLoader, which makes it a breeze to load your canoe or kayak on top of tall vehicles. The BoatLoader is equipped with a telescoping arm that fits inside all Yakima crossbars, along with corrosion-resistant braces and hardware. When you’re loading the boat, simply pull out the extending arm and swing the boat into the frame. It’s so easy that one person can do it, plus it keeps the boat away from the car during loading.
For occasions when you’re cruising boatless down the highway, the extendable arm retracts into the round bar. Designed with the valuable assistance and insight of Yakima’s best boat retailers, the BoatLoader is suitable for everything from sedans to SUVs to minivans. Note that the BoatLoader only works with the Yakima round bar.
Yakima BoatLoader Canoe and Kayak Side Loading System Overviews
The Yakima BoatLoader is a simple yet ingenious load-assist product ensuring you never have to lift more than half the weight of your boat. This telescoping arm mounts to Yakima crossbars making it effortless to load boats solo. When not in use it just slides back into the rack system and out of the way till you need it to assist you at a later date. . Product ID: 188178

[if I have a tandem kayak that weighs a ton, and a tall truck to load it on. It had been a struggle for my wife and I to load & unload the kayak, especially without scratching the truck. The Yakima BoatLoader was a little shorter than I expected, but I was still able to load the boat by myself in less than 5 minutes. It was actually easier than loading with 2 people. My only concern is theft. If I leave the BoatLoader in my roof rack, it would be pretty easy for someone to steal. There's no way to lock it in place.
My wife loved this product too because instead of struggling to hold up our heavy kayak, she got to sit in the air-conditioned truck while I did all the work!]

This makes it easy to load a kayak – sans gluten – Santa Cruz, CA United States
this bar telescopes out of the side of your rack — There’s a video on youtube that shows how much of a help it is. I’m only 5′and I can do this and it takes less than 5 min to load the boat and tie it down.
Great accessory for racks – Chris Wilinski – Capistrano Beach, CA
This loader is so cool I’m buying another one. Right now I’ve been using it for hanging my wet gear on the side of my van, soon with two as a side surfboard rack that will work as a side awning above the side slider door. I’ll be able to open the back of my van without having to slide my surfboards all the way forward, I plan on making a side shade using both and of course for canoes on occasion.

Saves my car, canoe, and back. – N. Brooks – Canada
I use a large fibreglass canoe that is at the very limit of my carrying capacity. This wonderful bar allows me to prop up the canoe on my shoulders via the yoke and simply walk it on to the roof of my car. These bars take the weight of the canoe and allow me to pop around and push the canoe the rest of the way up on the roof. Definitely worth the money since a botched “shimmy” mount attempt would cost me considerably more at the body shop!
