Yakima BowDown Kayak Rack Review Video & Demo 8004042

The Thule Hullaport Pro has a locking lever that is a lot easier than undoing a knob on each rack. That said, the Yakima looks bigger and is probably better suited to a larger kayak.

Very helpful video. I really like the Boat Loader feature to help lift the boat.

Don't forget he ever important bottle opener on the BowDowns!  It's a key feature :)

mmm faster to lift it on the rack, using that retractable bar waste of time

The Yakima Boat Loader extension is intended for those that find it difficult to place the boat into the first cradle. By placing one end of the boat onto the extension first, many folks find it easier to then load the boat into the cradles.
