The Thule 847 Outrigger II Kayak Load Assist for Roof Rack Mount Carrier is an accessory that dramatically improves the ease of the side loading of kayaks or canoes. The Outrigger II works with Thule square bar rack systems, telescoping from within one of the rack's two load bars to extend the leverage of roof racks to the side as an aid to raise a boat to an existing pair of watercraft saddles. Additional features include: the ability to support up to 50 percent of kayak's weight, an integrated load stop that prevents boats from sliding off the bar, compatibility with nearly every kayak shape and size and more.

Loading Assistance Via Retractable Side Arm
Perfect for transporting a kayak or canoe by yourself, the Thule 847 Outrigger II offers an innovative Lift Assist feature that makes it easy for one person to load and unload a kayak from a roof rack. A retractable arm fits inside your Thule load bars and provides pivot point for loading boats. Lift one end of the boat onto the extension bar, lift the other end onto the canoe or kayak carrier, and then easily reposition the first end onto the canoe or kayak carrier.

About Thule
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
