Yakima Mako Saddles with Tie Down Reviews
paulsax rated this item 2 out of 5 on 4/9/2009:
If you have a composite kayak you MUST get the extra and expensive pads. No matter what Yakima says the makos will scratch your gelcoat.
CaffeineCharged rated this item 4 out of 5 on 2/15/2009:
Solid construction, easy to install/remove, and boat friendly. When not in use, they can be pitched back for less wind resistance on the highway without having to be removed.
These would've scored a 5 if they came with the adhesive pads by default.
Although these saddles are very tough, I still don't like the idea that the straps don't loop under the cross-bars. Your boat completely depends on the saddles to not break while going down the road!
