| Reviewer: | Twthomas10 | Rating: 5 | Date: 12/12/2011 |
| Review: | Installed these racks and worked better that I expected. They look sharp and easily holds both kayaks. Two recommendations when installing. If you use a spacer block as others have recommended, cut it to 3"x3" and put the bottom screw in first then slide the block in the gaps. The block should be an inch thick. The second recommendation, on the height I placed them at 5'5" feet. This allowed me to place the top kayak with ease and the bottom without breaking the back bending over. | ||
| Reviewer: | Craig | Rating: 5 | Date: 11/04/2011 |
| Review: | They were just what I was looking for to store my Kayaks.I used concrete anchors instead of what was supplied due to installing them outside. I hope they will hold up over the years but they are working great right now.They were very reasonable in price compared to other holders out there. | ||
| Reviewer: | vhg555 | Rating: 4 | Date: 08/18/2011 |
| Review: | Works as intended. I do recommend placing a spacer block between the brackets top mounting block and the wall. The way this top block is designed holds this piece approximately 1/2" away from the wall surface. When you tighten down the lag screws this mounting block tends to bow inward towards the mounting surface and allows the bracket itself to loosen over time. By inserting this packing block you will prevent this. Well made with this single, easily correctable, flaw. | ||

| Review: | Great product. Holds both the Ascend D10 and our Coleman Rebel with ease. Just make sure that you are hit the studs dead center when mounting. | ||
| Reviewer: | nwca | Rating: 1 | Date: 07/11/2011 |
| Review: | I bought this after being informed from AK it would fit my Native Watercraft Mariner 12.5 It does not fit except at bow and stern, and not where I'd recommend it to be utilized. If you have a thick boat measure, and check for yourself. | ||
| Reviewer: | Chuck | Rating: 4 | Date: 07/06/2011 |
| Review: | Excellent product. We bought four. My suggestion is that the manufacturer or the installer place a flat block of wood in the void behind the mounting plate. At present when tightening the mounting screws the frame will dig in and crack the sheet rock if tightened to much. And you do want it tight to the wall. | ||

| Review: | very simple installation(10 minutes) on my dock, perfect for my Hobie mirage outback kayak, not an eyesore - looks good. great price - going to get another for my garage. i don't have a second kayak so cant comment on its use for 2. a definite thumbs up for 1. | ||
| Reviewer: | smb | Rating: 5 | Date: 05/10/2011 |
| Review: | Decent price and performs as advertised. I have two Tarpon 100's hanging from the wall. Quite sturdy. It's much easier to manage handling of the boats when lifting them from above the waist so I'd recommend hanging high enough so the lower one is near waist height. | ||
| Reviewer: | David | Rating: 4 | Date: 04/21/2011 |
| Review: | I bit overpriced in my opinion for what you get, but what stuff isn't these days. Does exactly what it's intended to do. Hold two kayaks and is very stable. The straps make pulling up the big kayak a snap, especially when you are doing it solo. | ||
| Reviewer: | M. Mosley | Rating: 5 | Date: 04/10/2011 |
| Review: | The Malone J-Dock system is awesome. We hang two Wilderness System Tarpon 100 kayaks from it and it is rock solid. The system was really easy to mount to the wall and is very high quality. | ||
| Reviewer: | rkgrabin | Rating: 5 | Date: 04/01/2011 |
| Review: | A simple product that is easy to install. I was able to secure my Feel Free Moken 10 easily on top or hanging. The package only comes with enough straps to secure one kayak but a standard cam buckle strap can be used for the top position if you want to mount 2 kayaks. | ||

| Review: | so well made, so easy to install, lag bolt system perfect. good for a salty environment, holds large Ocean Kayaks on the rack and the strap. Easy for the 'petite' paddler to lift her boat off the rack. | ||
| Reviewer: | Jesse Grant | Rating: 3 | Date: 12/02/2010 |
| Review: | The plastic mounting plate on one of the two mounts broke within 6 months of installation. Malone did replace the defective mount. I noticed as I replaced the mount that the plastic will flex if overtightened, leading to potential for further failure. The design probably should be modified to include the addition of a flat metal plate behind the tubular steel which mounts against the wall. Overall, a very good product as long as it stays mounted to the wall. | ||

| Reviewer: | fred P. | Rating: 5 | Date: 07/28/2010 |
| Review: | The Malone J-Dock performed exactly as advertised. It was easy to install and the delivery was faster than we expected. It holds our two kayaks neatly and effectively. It is somewhat awkward for one person to hang the lower kayak, but easy enough with two people. I would recommend the system for anyone needing a simple low cost option for storing two kayaks or one kayak and gear. | ||

| Review: | The Malone J-Dock is just as advertised. I was leery about it holding both of my kayaks but it is solid, and easy to install. Holds both my dagger 10.5 and my 8.5 foot old towne well and takes up minimal space. for the price and free shipping from ack you cant go wrong with this storage system. | ||
| Reviewer: | CpinNC | Rating: 5 | Date: 05/10/2010 |
| Review: | Well Built storage solution for 2 kayaks. Easy to install. I installed it outside to hang the kayaks along a fence panel in the backyard. Modified the storage loops on the bottom with a locking carribiner to hang a smaller kayak through the carry handles, as the spread between the fence posts was a little wide to store it through the bigger loops as directed. This actually made it have somewhat of a quick release feature. Over all this product is a good value and has many flexible uses. | ||

| Review: | I have two kayaks, a 12' and a 10'. The Malone J-Dock Hybrid Kayak Storage System holds both of them perfectly. I have the 12' on the top and the 10' hanging in the straps. Very easy to use. Storing and retrieving from the hanging straps is easier than you would think. Installation was a snap! | ||

| Review: | I like these Malone J-Dock Hybrid Kayak Storage racks and they work well. I only wish they were designed a bit different on the edges as my Pungo 120 curves just enough to not sit on the cushion. I improvised and used old Yak Grips to make a second cushion and that works wonders. | ||

| Review: | The Malone J-Dock Hybrid Kayak Storage System works as advertised, not complicated to install. Would like to see a small hook underneath or on the lip, so that you can store paddle, too. O/w you have to hang the paddle in the '2nd boat' straps) Not really made for 2 boats, btw. Could be functional for a variety of projects/storage. Probably could even put a shelf b/t the two... | ||

I bought the Malone J-Dock because the price was great and I figured if it didn't work I wasn't out too much cash. In a word, it's Great. I have two Ocean Kayak Scramblers on it and it holds them just fine. I have zero complaints about this product. If you're looking for an inexpensive storage solution that actually works, this one is the bee's knees. | ||

The only negative I have is the plastic mold around the bolt hole. As I was tightening the bolt to the wall I managed to crack the plastic. It hasn't affected anything so far and I really don't expect it to. | ||

| Review: | In my opinion the best kayak storage system in the market. Easy to install. All equipment is supplied, you just need to bring your drill or screwdriver. The only criticism is that it isn't as solid as the Malone AutoLoader. This seems quite curious when the J Dock is designed for near constant usage whereas the Autoloader is only used for transportation. I would have expected the JDock to be have been the more robust of the two systems. It's a minor criticism however and I'm perfectly happy with my JDock. | ||
