1.0 out of 5 stars Absurd product..

Imagine trying to spin a tire on it's rim..... ya, right?.. So who's the dull blade who sold even duller blades on incorporating that inane principal in a kayak loading system?...Oops, Hully Roller, take a bow.. This product is more ill-conceived than an unwanted pregnancy.. For this kind of money, how about adding some bearings so the wheels actually... oh, I don't know, turn!? But no.. Instead we have dry plastic struggling to rotate on more dry plastic.. which, of course, doesn't.. The heavier the yak, the more the wheels bind and 'flip' as recounted in previous posts.. Complete FAIL...

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless if you have round Yak crossbars

I've used Yakima products for going on 20 years. This is honestly the first time I've been disappointed.

The Hully Rollers are a great idea in theory.

Call me old school, but I still have the old original Yakima round bars. The Hully Rollers aren't worth a hill of beans with these bars. No matter how tight you have the bars to the towers, or the Hully Rollers to the bars, when you start putting weight on the rollers when loading your boat, the roller assemblies rotate foward around the round bar. There is no mechanism in the design to properly secure the Hully Roller assemblies to the round bar so they stay parallel to the roof, hence allowing the boat to roll on them properly. They rotate forward, the wheels are then off angle, etc. Useless. Now, if you had square bars or the aero bars, you'd probably be in luck I'm guessing. But if you have the classic Yak round bars, move along, nothing to see here.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs up but so far more Down
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2011
Great concept but the mounting clips are made of plastic, i.e very cheap and the price is a little excessive for that reason. Also, the mounting equipment only hand tightens and no matter how tight you think you are getting it they tend to slip, i.e twist or rotate around the bar, from the weight (only 65lbs) and force of pushing the kayak up onto them. From my experience this is in combination with the round bar from Yakima but I have heard wrapping some black electrical tape around the bar underneath the clips will help. I would recommend Yakima include some foam tape for this purpose or figure out some other method of insuring this doesn't happen. Perhaps using some other type bar such as a square design would eliminate this issue but I bought Yakima Brand bar so I certainly did not expect this.

Moving on...

I decided to use the locking mechanism (sold separately) and in the instructions it states to use a hex head bolt rather than the original hardware; unfortunately this hex head bolt isn't included. Furthermore, the instructions do not indicate what length hex head bolt to get, only the diameter 5/16". They have a rather poor illustration that certainly does not indicate length only that it has the hex head. So I took the carriage bolt (original hardware) to the local hardware store and found the length to be 2 1/4". I was unable to find a 2 1/4" hex head bolt so I used a 2" instead. My point is...include whatever hardware is necessary for this to function correctly or at least correct the directions; again especially for the price. I realize this isn't part of the hullyroller product per say but it is an accessory for it so I am including it just in case someone else is also thinking along those lines.
It took me an honest hour or so to get these lined up correctly and to get the mounting clips tight enough to not slip but I have very deep concerns they will still fail. I certainly hope that does not happen and especially does not happen while in transport. Lastly, the wheels could spin a little more freely but I can see how you don't want too much spin so your boat doesn't move too quickly and potentially cause loss of control so, I will let that one slide.

For the price Yakima commands and the reputation I thought they had, I would expect more. As I mentioned in the beginning, it is a great concept but it needs a little more thought to the design. The ability to lock the wheels is nice so the boat doesn't continue to roll but I would not expect to have the problems and doubts right from the start that I have. Hopefully Yakima listens to their customers and I guess only time will tell how well they actually perform; that is if I decide to keep them. I feel that I have too much invested in this system to not give it at least an honest evaluation so stay tuned and wish me luck!

Sincerely,
An honest customer with a lot ridding on Yakima :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Noisy unless you place something between boat and rollers
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2012
I bought the hully rollers, Yakima Mako saddles, and Yakima Showboat roller loader from a local dealer who installed the whole thing for me. As a 69-year-old 5'3" woman, loading a kayak onto an Outback, I needed as much help as I could get. The Showboat helps me roll the kayak up to the roof and the hully rollers help roll the kayak forward to the saddles. I have square bars so the rollers stay in place *but* I have only recently found a way to keep them from being very noisy while driving. The problem has been that, even with the kayak tied down with two straps crosswise, the hully rollers vibrate against the bottom of the hull of my kayak and set up a terrible noise. Very aggravating. The other day I finally found a way to keep them quiet! I placed a piece of thick foam between my kayak's hull and both hully rollers *and* tied down the stern with a strap from the boat's stern handle down to the hook under my Outback. Peace at last!

5.0 out of 5 stars S what's the problem?

It never ceases to amaze how little folks know about how to make things work. I have been using these rollers for kayaks for more than 20 years and love them. It is absurd to say they won't turn when loading a boat! There is lubricating spray that will make them roll like they have roller bearings in them, try it. If they roll over on your bars, ditch the little handle things and use nylon locking nuts and tighten them down. It really isn't that difficult.

3.0 out of 5 stars Roller struggle
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2012
I will admit that I am new at toting a kayak on my car. But with that said, I put much time into researching and consulting at local outdoor stores before purchasing a rack system. After installing the rollers , I was excited to attempt the anticipated simple task of loading the kayak. Not so. I was startled to discover that the fasteners were not holding the rollers in place. I thought it was my fault. With much effort I got the boat off and retightened. At this point, the forward twisting of the roller units continues. I have been unable to tighten the base sufficiently to stop the rotating on the bar. Maybe this is expected?? The wheels still roll, but not easily. I have wondered if saddles would have worked as well or better. I do believe that the system seems flimsy-- plastic base fasteners. But I am trusting this brand name. So far...
