Turn a difficult overhead lift into a supported side-loading process
Typical delivery times range from 5 to 7 days
Getting a kayak from the ground to a vehicle roof can be one of the hardest parts of a day on the water, especially with larger fishing kayaks. The Boonedox Yak-Bone Car Top Assist fits a 2" trailer hitch and creates an adjustable, swiveling support that helps you side-load a kayak or canoe instead of lifting the entire watercraft directly onto the roof.

Instead of trying to raise a kayak directly onto the roof, use the Yak-Bone as a side-loading support. Its 360° swivel allows the kayak to rotate toward the vehicle while the adjustable height helps position the support for the roof-loading setup. That approach is especially useful when car-topping larger fishing kayaks that are awkward to control during a direct overhead lift.
Add the Yak-Bone to a compatible 2" hitch setup when you want a dedicated side-loading assist between the kayak and your vehicle roof.
The Yak-Bone provides a hitch-mounted support with a 360° swivel so the kayak can be loaded from the side and rotated toward its position on the vehicle roof. This reduces the need to lift the entire kayak directly overhead onto the roof.
The Yak-Bone is designed to fit a standard 2" trailer hitch. Confirm that your vehicle has the required hitch before choosing it for your car-top loading setup.
Yes. It has 14" of height adjustment and an overall height range of 48" to 62", allowing the support height to be adjusted for different vehicle loading configurations.
Yes. Boonedox identifies the Yak-Bone as a loading assist for kayaks, canoes, and other gear, with a published weight capacity of 180 lbs.
The swivel supports side-loading rather than requiring the kayak to be dropped directly onto the roof. Once supported, the watercraft can be rotated toward the vehicle's roof-top loading position.
