The SideKick bolts to the gunwale and deck tracks and carries the boat so you don’t have to. Adapter plates and hardware are included, plus spacers for the Umax. The wheels come off or swing up for paddling and storage. NuCanoe recommends no more than 75 lb of gear while rolling.

Good to know

KayakDIY take: Built-in wheels are a big help on a heavy, motor-rigged kayak. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
