Return to Yakima Bowdown Kayak Carrier Product Details.
Description: 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.
ACK Review: Here is a very cool product addition from Yakima. The Bowdown will make you do exactly that. BOWDOWN! as if you weren't worthy. This kayak carrier locks to your rack and folds over to minimize wind resistance when not in use. Check it out fast!

| 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. | ||

| Review: | These Yakima Bowdown Kayak Carriers are great! Very easy to attach to the rack, and provide a very solid, protective way to transport any kayak. The Bowdowns also fold flat, so getting your vehicle into the garage with them on is not a problem. They are pricey, but definitely worth every penny. Id definitely recomment these to friends. | ||

| Review: | This is a solid kayak carrier. I would have given this 5 stars but this rack whistles like a tea kettle over 40 mph. I'm still trying to find the source of the whistle so I can modify. So for now turn up the radio and go kayaking! | ||
