Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For the price, this kit is hard to beat. Installation is a breeze. Thread up is simple if you follow the diagram. Operation is good and lifting my 65 pound kayak was no problem. The only issue I had was clearance for my garage door at 92-1/2". The hanging hardware supplied looks like it is also used in their bicycle hanging kit and doesn't need to be as long as it is. I removed the "Y" parts by drilling out the rivets and removing the nyloc nuts. I replaced it with a piece of aluminum "C" channel. See pictures for what it looks like. After that modification, I had just enough clearance for the garage door. Now it's perfect. Update: Had to drop the review to 4 stars. I hoisted the kayak last night and was preparing to tie it off and pull my car in. Without warning the back end of the boat dropped from the ceiling to the floor. After investigating I found that the little plastic crossbar on the adjustable portion of the web cradle buckle had broken completely off and allowed the strap to pull free. The plastic does have a brittle feel and I decided not to trust them again so cut them off and just tied the straps together at the length I needed. I will eventually have different straps made so all I have is a piece of webbing with a sewn loop on each end and no knot.
