Description

The Malone Large Kayak Bunk Kit is a premium trailer accessory designed to transport larger kayaks more safely and easily. Built to attach to all Malone trailers, this bunk kit improves stability during transport, reduces stress on the hull, and makes loading/unloading much more manageable. With its rugged build, weather-resistant materials, and generous size, it’s perfect for serious paddlers who own large or heavy kayaks. Made in the USA, and backed by Malone’s 5-year warranty.

Key Features

• Extra-Long 84-Inch Bunks: Each bunk measures 84″ × 4″ × 2″, giving long and wide support for larger kayaks or wide hulls.

• Yellow Pine Wood Construction: Bunks are made from yellow pine, a strong, resilient wood. They are covered with marine-grade, weather-resistant bunk covering to protect both the wood and the kayak.

• Load Straps Included: Kit includes two 15-foot water-resistant cam style load straps to secure the kayak safely during transport.

• Hardware: All mounting hardware is galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.

Performance & Capacity

• Load Capacity: Rated to carry up to 500 lb of load, which covers most large fishing kayaks or tandem kayaks paired with gear.

• One-Kayak Transport: Designed to transport one kayak per installation. The long bunks help maintain stability throughout transport, especially for hulls with wider beams or unusual shapes.

• Two (2) 84″ Large Kayak Bunks (84″ × 4″ × 2″ each)

Warranty & Construction Info

• Warranty: Covered by Malone’s Five-Year Limited Warranty on the bunk kit.

• Made in the USA: Ensures quality control and support.

Why Choose The Malone Large Kayak Bunk Kit

• Better Stability: Traditional cradle carriers or shorter bunks may not support large kayak hulls properly—these longer bunks reduce stress points and help distribute load more evenly.

• Easier Loading / Unloading: The long bunk length provides a longer lever or resting surface, reducing lift height for kayak’s ends; helpful especially with longer or heavier boats.

• Durability: Marine-grade coverings, weather-resistant varnish or coating, and galvanized hardware help resist wear from salt, moisture and trail conditions.

• Compatibility: Works with all Malone trailer models; easy to retrofit.

Ideal Use & Suitability

This bunk kit is ideal for:

• Owners of large or wide-hulled kayaks (e.g. stable fishing, tandem, sit-on-top, pontoons) who struggle with shorter or narrow roof/trailer supports.

• Users who want a more secure, stable transport solution for their kayak, minimizing movement and reducing damage risk during transport.

• Paddle-sports enthusiasts who need durable, weather-resistant hardware and components that can withstand exposure to saltwater, sun, and trail debris.

• Those who already own a Malone trailer and want to carry larger kayak gear more reliably.
