The convenience of a stacker without having to remove it in the off season. The Yakima Bowdown Kayak Carrier carries one boat on padded "J" cradles and then folds down to provide a clean silhouette.

• The Bowdown carries one boat on its side, on top of the vehicle • When you're not using it, fold it down to keep a nice clean look to vehicle and reduce wind whistle • Padded hull guards prevent damage to your boat • Fits round, square, and most factory crossbars out of the box • Locks to crossbar using SKS locking system (lock cores sold separately) • Discounts and/or coupons do not apply to this item

Review:	Great product. Easy to assemble and works like a dream. My garage door prevents me from parking inside with the carrier in the up position so it is perfect for my situation. I just fold them down and Im in. Just like it says on the boxEverything you need is included.

Review:	We used our new BowDowns today for the first time and they are soo easy to use. Ours are mounted on a Rack and Roll trailer and this combo is a dream come true. E-a-s-y! No more lifting the boats onto the roof and struggling with the straps. Dont hesitate. Go for it! Were not looking back!

Review:	Love and hate it! Very nice, fat, padded uprights but the up and down mechanism is terrible. I have two sets, both of which Ive replaced twice Yakima does it for free . Theyre good for about 40 trips before the cog wears out or the tightening knob no longer tightens. It has been my annual off season job; to send back the worn out set to Yakima for replacement. If you are not frequent kayaker, then this is probably a good product for you; but this sending a set back every year or so is getting old.
