I use a 2x4 cut just a little longer than the cockpit with block spacers on the ends. I bolted two 2x4's laterally to my Yakima with holes to match holes in the block spacers. I use 8" cariage bolts with wing nuts to secure the boat to the rack. I use two tension staps as back up. It takes the same amount of time to secure the boat as with tie downs and its a lot tighter and secure. Just another way......bob klemick Hi, Bob! Sounds like an interesting way to go. Could you describe it in a little more detail, please? Which way does the 2x4 "longer than the cockpit" run? What are the dimensions of the block spacers? What type of boat are you car topping here? Thanks! Ralph C.
