The DeckHand saddles use oversized felt-padded cradles that conform to many hull shapes. This listing is one set of mounts: pair it with HandRoll rollers or a second DeckHand set to finish the system. They install without tools on most roof racks and include heavy-duty straps with bow and stern tie-downs.

KayakDIY take: Carrying a boat flat on padded saddles is gentle on the hull. For more transport options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
