I have a couple of Ocean Kayaks, ...30-40 lbs maybe? Can I use one handle to carry kayak without having to worry about pulling rivits out?

I use one handle on each end. My wife and I carry a heavybsitbon top. The handle I bought from amazon is excellent replacement for the one that wore out.

I have double on each side and am able to lift mine with no problem. But I am not sure about having one handle.
1060098
Yes. There are double holes so you can fold it over and have a very tough single rivet connection or lay it out and use two rivets on each side of the handle.

That shouldn't be a problem. I have a pair of Wilderness Systems kayaks in the 50-60 lb range. These handles work well for carrying our kayaks.

I use two of the handles on the inside of the cockpit on each side one a foot ahead of the center line and the other a foot behind the center line. This allows me to lift my loaded fishing kayak, weighing 50lbs or more with fishing gear, in and out of the water by myself. I hope this helps you.

Hi Megh, Unfortunately this carrier accommodates kayaks up to 34" wide and 75lbs. Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

I have a Hobie Pursuit kakyak and the carry handle fit perfectly. It seems that the carry handle would fit you Emotion Temptation kayak..on the bow. From what I have seen the carry handle is the correct fit for your kayak. Hope that helps.

yes, I have carried my 30+ inch wide 70+ pound old town twin otter kayak with my rack w/ no worries!

Yeah sure, as long as you have a handle in the front and back of your kayak ( to hook the straps to ).

The issues are the kayak balance point on the cart, and how rough the surface is on which the wheels have to roll. I have a 10-foot sit on top kayak and find that the cart works best about 2 feet from the rear of the boat. That way I can lift from the bow handle and walk easily. Be sure the little legs on the cart are facing forward, if not you'll drag them as you lift and pull. Over any type of rough or soft surface, you must really lash your kayak to the cart securely or it will slide or bounce off. Keeping all this in mind, you should be able to do what you are asking.

It's easy...just remember the amour of weight you are moving. You could have a hold of 300 pounds fully loaded, which could get away from you on an incline or make it difficult to move over ruts, large rocks, or holes. With 80 lbs of kayak and gear, I've never had difficulty wheeling the trailer around the driveway, launch ramp, or trail.

Yes, it would be best to purchase two extra ropes/straps for the other side. However, it is typically not advised to use ratchet straps as they are extremely strong and can break plastic kayaks, and if you use the bow and stern line, that will provide you with more than enough strap strength.

Sure will. As they are 2 separate pieces the width is issue. My kayak weighs about 75lbs and it is no problem.

The Malone website suggests a 150 pound carrying capacity, so no problem there. However, unless the kayaks can be placed on the cart in a stable manner, the load may be tippy with any # of tie-downs. Note that the entire cart is only 30+/- inches long. Very stable carrying one large canoe with a single tie-down; carrying two kayaks may require ingenuity

I used it all last summer and transported it like you suggest, righside up. I have an Ocean kayak tandem sit on top kayak. There is no way I could transport on its side. It works great. Because my kayak is larger than most I have to use different straps than what came with the kit. Another thing to know is that it is designed to mount on after market crossbars not factory roof racks. I modified the mounts with u bolts to fit on my Jeep Commander roof rack.

The cart can handle your kayak. The problem with this cart is it is hard to connect to your kayak.

Did you mean 10' instead of 10"? If you place one on top the other and properly secure with straps that is workable. If you intend to carry them side by side I am not sure...I will need to know the width of the Kayaks.

without any doubt, yes you can. in terms of one or two people there is plenty of room for both the individual or the two for both and the tackle and gear. even if you were to drop a hook or knife, unless you were to directly stab or slash at the kayak yiu won't puncture it. this thing can hold 450 pounds. so it is very safe for lake fishing. however oceans and shark fishing, probably not. but, yes is the short answer.

Hi Joe - you would definitely need to have aftermarket crossbars installed to accommodate the widths of both of these kayaks on the carrier. You may also need to upsize the bars from what is recommended. Also, please be sure to be attentive to the weight limits of the vehicle, as each of those kayaks are quite heavy.

Like I said it handled 2 kayaks well. So 100lbs? Don't over tighten and I would recommend the taller ones for the jeep. I found myself wanting more room under.

It's easily strong enough to hold a couple kayaks. Just tie them down. You'll be fine.
