Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier Combo with Stinger Load Module MPG113MD

My kayak is 75 lbs i am 65 and have a bad back. i am able to load and unload without help. That is a big deal for me. Product is excellent.

Worked great for transporting our Wilderness Systems Pamlico 160T using the factory roof racks on our Toyata Rav4. Out of the water the 160T is a beast of a boat at 16' long and weighing approximately 90# fully outfitted with seats and rudder. Getting it on the roof of even a moderately high SUV like the Rav4 normally takes the efforts of two strong men and a boy, but Malone's innovative "Stinger Load Module" made loading the kayak much less difficult. The wing shaped bunkers and provided straps and bow & stern ropes held of the carrier held our "cruiser" snugly in place on our three hour road trip to a mountain lake. Sure you can buy less expensive racks but you will not get the quality and convenience that you get with the Malone SeaWing Carrier Combo. If like us you are hauling a plastic Queen Mary you will be glad you spent the extra dough.

I bought this product to carry my new old town predator XL minnkota kayak. This kayak is very heavy but i was able to put it on top of a Yukon sitting on 24 in wheels with no problem. It held the kayak in place very well. The only problem i experienced was i tightened one of the knobs on the plate to tight and the screw cut through the plastic in the sea wing so i can't remove it now. Would highly recommend this product if u have a predator xl

Very pleased with this carrier. I is very well built, easy to install (though instructions did not explain some of the parts supplied; however, email to Malone verified what I thought: extra bolts are for different height carrier bars and washers are used with bolts/wingnuts). Load module allows one- person loading of kayak.

Very good product. Lets you load a kayak by yourself from the back of your car. I have used it twice now and and had no problems other than the following. Replace the rubber tape on the V-slide at the back with Teflon pieces with the edges rounded or champfert. I had some sand on the bottom of the kayak and the tape came off.

This product works exactly as advertised. I was concerned regarding loading my 60lb+ kayak on my own on top of my SUV - using the Seawing with Stinger it's pretty uneventful...after some practice. The only issue I have is that the carrier wings bend under the weight of the kayak, especially on a bumpy road.

The Malone Seawing Kayak carrier with Stinger load assist is a remarkable product. It's simple to install and the perfect setup for loading a kayak on the roof of your car, solo. I have much more costly Thule carriers that hold the kayak on its side, but getting the boat up there alone is hard work. The Malone rig makes loading effortless for one. It has performed flawlessly. It's tough, well-made, and can stand up to frequent use. I plan to get another for a second boat. Unlike other saddles, this rack attaches at the center point, creating enough space for two'even on 48-inch crossbars. Great product!

Good, tough and innovative product from Malone thanks to which I can finally load my 14foot/23kg kayak onto the car rack on my own. Very much up to expections, thanks also to ACK excellent service, expecially for shipping out to Europe!

The product is good but it does NOT extend back far enough to be real useful on my 2009 Honda Fit Sport. The stinger part is not long enough to land on the deflector on the Fit Sport so the kayak sits on that instead. This kind of defeats the purpose of having it protect my car.

Mounted on a Malone base on top of a 2009 Toyota Highlander. Allowed me to carry 2 Hobie Revos flat, which makes them very easy to load. No stability issues at 70-80 MPH, 1500 miles.

The Stinger is a great innovation. When I am getting ready to load my kayak people always come up to guve me a hand...so I show them how easy it is to load by myself and they are always impressed. A 70 lb. kayak onto the roof of my Tahoe by myself...very easy.

This is the BEST product for loading a kayak on your roof rack! I'm 5'4", not in particularly great shape, and I can load my 16', 80 lb kayak by myself! The stinger attachment makes all the difference!

Gr.eat product and value. I need to bring ny kayak to ACK for servicing. I talked to Zac about three-oclock on a Friday afternoon. He gave me some good ideas and I ordered the Stinger Seawing SS. The delivery was made the next day on Saturday morning before I could wake up good and get a cup of coffee. This unit was very easy to install in just a few minutes and that takes into account that I am a senior citizen who is mechanically challenged by any anything more than a screwdriver. The trip to Austin was made easily with a very secure kayak on top of my SUV. I highly recommend this product.

works as advertised, very pleased with this and with the ability to load the kayak on to my suv by myself. I would recommend this product

Great price, communication, and fast shipping from ACK. The SeaWing/Stinger combo is much easier to load and unload than the previous "J" style carriers we had on our Jeep Liberty. The lower profile, both loaded and unloaded, allows us to drive in and out of our garage making it much more convenient. Very secure going down the road too.

Sound and well-engineered piece of kit. It was easy to assemble and install. Works just like it says. I use it for a 14 ft boat and find it perfect for my Toyota Highlander. My only quibble is that it didn't fit my factory roof bars (wide aero) and I had to buy a new set of square cross bars.

The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier installed in less than 5 minutes, holds heavy kayaks with no issues. The stinger load module is plain brilliant! ACK store folks are one of my favorites places to "kayak shop" :)
