How to assemble a freestanding kayak rack

Putting together a no-drill kayak stand and loading it evenly.

Harborwright sells the part only — we don't install it. These are general steps; your boat and the maker's manual come first. If you're not sure, have a marine shop fit it.

Safety: Set it on flat, even ground (VEVOR advises against sand and slopes), and load the bottom arms first.

Steps

  1. Lay out the parts and assemble the base and uprights with the included hardware and wrenches.
  2. Set the width to suit your boats using the hand screws.
  3. Fit the padded arms and tighten every bolt.
  4. Place the rack on flat, even ground.
  5. Load the heaviest boat on the lowest arms and work up, keeping each boat centered.

Follow the instructions that come in the box for your exact model first.
