can you use these to mount an ocean kayak to a dock

As long has you have about 3-4 ft of vertical space to mount it on I don't see why not.

They should work for kayaks. However, you may have to modify the fastening system. Weight of a kayak should be similar to a bike. Hope this helps.

I would think that they would work. It's not absolutely necessary to use the mounts they give you, that's just what I'm using now until I get something else built for it. I don't know too much about fabricating things but I have friends who are good at it.

I would stay away. I ordered two. Use on ~50lb Ocean Kayaks. One of them is broken beyond repair. I will be getting another brand/model.

I'm not 100% sure. They can be moved on the cross member, but I think the width of your kayak would be the determining factor.

I believe you could. The foam cushions the kayak when the straps are secured over it. The cushions hold good onto the vehicle without much motion at all. The kit comes with three straps. One for the middle and two for front and back.

No. They only come with two straps and they are for hanging a kayak below the rack.

Yes, they come with hardware. We have Lifetime 10' kayaks and these wall mounts are not deep enough for them to fit in.

I started out using them, but then figured out I could get by without them. I think it really depends on the size of your kayak. Mine is only 10ft long, so it doesn't catch much wind.

yes they are. They slide into a slot on the bottom. On the other hand be careful that you don't loose it. The Kayak handles a lot better with the skag

If it's not flat or almost flat, I would not trust them to hold your kayaks. Even if the roof were flat I wouldn't trust them to go very far.

Yes. No problem, as long as the kayak is inflated enough so that the ends don't droop to the ground.

Yes but the top of the dock must be made of wood so you can drill the two holes in it and also the two supports would have to line up with something sturdy on your dock - that could be tricky. I suggest you look further for something that is designed for a dock, as this is more for a boat. Perhaps something that fits securely but folds up??

Yes, I mounted mine on a side panel of my pontoon boat. Use stainless screw, washer, and lock nut to secure.

The rails are just the base for you to build from. Specific items will need specific supports that will attach to the rails. Kayaks have different carriers/supports than boards etc.

I use them on the lake and attach them to my boat cleats when anchored. I'm sure you could use them in the ocean, however the center is mesh and not open to put your torso through like a tube. Good luck.

Yes I dont see why not. The mounts are designed to fit flush against a surface.
