Attwood Canoe Car-Top Carrier Kit

The Attwood Canoe Car-Top Carrier Kit is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who regularly transport canoes and small watercraft on vehicle roofs. Whether you're heading to a remote fishing hole, launching from a distant boat ramp, or moving gear between seasonal spots, this carrier kit simplifies what can otherwise be a cumbersome loading and securing process. After years on the water, any angler knows that proper load management directly impacts safety, vehicle stability, and peace of mind during highway travel to your next adventure.

This kit features four foam blocks that snap securely onto your canoe's gunwale, distributing weight evenly and preventing the hull from contacting your vehicle's roof—a critical detail that protects both your boat's finish and your car's paint. Two nylon straps with quick-adjusting buckles and clips provide redundant securing points, while the included 20 feet of poly rope offers additional tie-down flexibility for irregular loads or multi-boat configurations. The foam construction is lightweight at just 1.5 pounds, meaning setup and removal require minimal effort, yet the blocks remain rigid enough to handle the dynamic forces of highway travel.

Boaters transporting solo canoes, tandem canoes, or comparable small boats will find this carrier essential for vehicles with roof rails or bare roof lines. The snap-on foam design accommodates varying gunwale profiles without permanent installation, making it ideal for rental vehicles or boats with non-standard configurations. Installation is straightforward: position the blocks at load-bearing points near the cockpit, snap them in place, thread the straps through the buckles, and secure both ends to your roof's anchor points. This kit pairs perfectly with existing roof racks and works across sedan, SUV, and truck platforms.
