    Nice video for learning how to ADJUST a kayak seat. I am looking more for details (hardware etc.) for INSTALLING the pad eyes that are necessary for adding the seat to a sit-on kayak that doesn't have the necessary harware.

    I don’t care what anyone says I’m using ratchet straps. I just simply throw it on the crossbars and strap er down. It won’t go anywhere. Yes it’s important not to go too tight but if you do it upside down it’s really not putting much pressure anywhere on the kayak.

    Don't use the ramp for tying down, go all the way around the roof rails. They are not made for tension, just a ramp to load the kayaks. Right from the thule video

    • @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure
      @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure 6 місяців тому

      It’s not important what kind of strap is used for the bowline. Although a flat strap can have some vibration so give it a twist.

    2:15 Centre of kayak is actually where the seat is located if you don't have side handles tying to the top bend of the J cradle bar puts torque on the plastic bracing the sits on the roof rack. You are basically strapping the kayak on one side only, pulling the top of the J cradle against the rooftop cross bar. This can cause failure as all the pressure is on the plastic shoe or brace and this can come apart from the crossbar. I had a very dangerous situation where the cradle fell apart and almost lost the kayak on the highway. Dangerous especially for other vehicles. Twists in straps also become concentrated pressure points on your kayak or paddle board -- recommend flat.

    Oh yes that bow line is extremely important. One of mine and my siblings first times out kayaking we didn't tie a bow line. Both kayaks slid from under their cinch straps and off the back off my car in the m8ddle of town. We're lucky it didn't cause a wreck or ruin our kayaks... we also used a bow line after that.

  • @teresas4728

    I wish you would explain those loops under the hood - are they tied in there? Are they little bungies? if not what are they? How are they attached? Thanks for the video!! Very clear and helpful

    • @brantbowers7796
      @brantbowers7796 Рік тому

      Loops under the hood are attached to a secure point which varies by make and model of vehicle. They are utility cord which has minimal stretch. It is best to avoid tying to points that could cut through the cord or places which are plastic that could break. When not in use, the cords can be tucked under the hood. I hope this helps you with this one point that lacked clarity. Happy Adventures!

    How long should the bow/stern line be? Trying to cut a length of rope to make one.

    • @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure
      @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure Рік тому

      Length is determined by size of boat/SUP and vehicle. Most bow/stern line kits are adequate for most situations. Remember that the bow/stern line doesn't need to be tight. The purpose of them is to counter lift.

    Good Video. I don't like any ropes with metal hooks tying down the bow and stern, as they can scratch your car and boat,. Just use a normal rope with a trucker's hitch. Both bow and stern lines should always be used.

    Do you need to add a Bow Line on the back of the car??

    • @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure
      @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure Рік тому

      It is recommended, but sometimes (particularly in the case of a SUP) there's nothing from which to tie. This is why SUP's are placed stern forward as they always have a leash attachment point. This avoids the dynamic of lift as you drive down the highway. The rear attachment to the car counters forward/upward momentum in the event of an accident.

    Is the bow line supposed to be that loose or was it just a demonstration

    • @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure
      @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure Рік тому

      Good question. The purpose of the bowline is to counter upward lift of the kayak or SUP on the rack. It should not be slack, but does not have to be tight. I'd say just enough so it doesn't wiggle in the wind as you drive down the road.
