• Attach 4 foam blocks to top edge of canoe gunwales (2 per side) as shown
with anti-skid surface facing up. Blocks should be spaced on canoe so that
when canoe is placed on vehicle roof, the blocks are close to the front wind-
shield and rear window while still preventing canoe from touching vehicle.
4
• Load the canoe onto the vehicle. The bottom of the canoe should face upwards
and the weight should be evenly distributed across roof. Place blue strap
across top of middle portion of canoe. Open vehicle doors and pull both
ends of one strap into the vehicle. Run one end of strap through the buckle
and tighten firmly on inside of vehicle. If your car has siderails, you may tie
strap(s) to it instead.
5
• Secure front and rear of the canoe with the rope bow/stern tie-down and
bumper hooks provided. Avoid running safety lines across sharp edges
or near the exhaust.
NOTE: Check all straps and tie-downs for tightness regularly.

SUGGESTIONS
• Twisting the straps a few turns will help prevent strap vibration and noise at high speeds.
• To prevent vehicle damage with a boat on top, you may need to remove antenna from roof and use caution when opening hatchbacks.
Take your vehicle's cargo capacity to a whole new level with the roof racks we offer.
