Hey all,
I have a new (to me) kayak. It is a Current Designs, Whistler, 14'-6". I need to move it. It has to last 590 miles at 84 mph on my roof. I have the Yakima j-hook mounts. I have the bow lines going down to hooks on the side of the hood. Stern line to the receiver. (And yes, I will have lines going around it at the j-hooks. I just didn’t put them on when I took the pictures while test fitting everything last night.)
I am a little concerned about the openings and if there will be any issues. There is a bow storage area with a hard plastic cover that is held in place by two straps. There is the open cockpit. And then there is the stern storage area that has a rubber cover.
Do I take the rear rubber cover off and let the area get some nice fresh air on the drive? Do I wrap it in saran wrap and packing tape?
Thoughts? Advice? Warnings?
