  • Work Smarter Not Harder
Not gonna lie…I’m pretty handy but the directions were intimidating as hell. I bought this as a returned item and aside from the directions, nothing was opened (everything comes in a separate sealed packet) so I’m assuming the people before me looked at the directions and noped. Once I started putting it together though it was actually way simpler than it looked. Took about 30 minutes in a downpour to fully install. I dropped it once so there was a small amount of bleeding, but nowhere near the mess it could have been. It takes a little bit of practice to open & close it, especially with the kayak on it, but after 2-3 runs I figured out the trick to it instead of happening on it as a fluke. They don’t come with locks, which at the cost of these things is absurd, so you have to buy them separately (which seems to be Thule’s marketing strategy to sell every single thing separately). They also don’t pop off easily when you’re not using them so it’s essentially a permanent fixture on your roof unless you want to go through the whole uninstall/install process every time. But overall it’s a well made, sturdy, and helpful product. I just upgraded to a larger & heavier kayak and this makes it so I can take it out solo and easily load & unload. ... show more

  • Another quality Thule product.
works as described, good compliment to our Hullavator on drivers side. She likes these better than J hooks due to the lift assist. Her shoulders have strength issues after a float when pressing the kayak up over her head. now, no more pain.

  • Works well with 60" Aeroblades WITHOUT 4" overhang from foot packs on 2016 Ford F150.
The instructions said that my crossbars needed at least 4" overhang from the footpacks, but I was already using the longest Aeroblades available (60") for my vehicle (2016 Ford F150). On my setup, the Aerobar extended maybe 1" from the foot pack, and I was afraid that this would not work for me, but I wanted to give it a shot anyway. Good thing that I took the chance... On my install, I discovered that with the Hullavator mounted at the end of the Aerobar (with endcap removed), I had about 8" clearance between the Hullavator arms and my vehicle. The instructions recommended at least 4". This meant that I could install on my setup with no issues! Because of the extra 4" clearance, I figured I'd try to set the Hullavator 4" further away from the end of the bar. This didn't work because the arms couldn't clear the end of the bar + end caps. The best that I could do is set the Hullavator 1" from the end of the bar. Now when I lower the arms, it clears the end caps, and I still about 7" clearance between the arms and my truck (see photos). A few things that I noticed but aren't deal-breakers are: * When loaded, my Kayak looks like it's too far towards the edge of my truck as opposed to being centered on the rooftop. I know that I can move the J hooks closer to the other end of the bar to remedy this, but this limits how wide of a kayak I can carry. I have 2 kayaks that are thin, buy my girlfriend's kayak is pretty wide. * When unloaded, I can hear the Hulavator jingle around up there while driving. A few recommendations for the install: * Don't cut the rubber strips on your Aeroblade until you've found the best placement your vehicle. * The square nuts are a little bowed on one side. I placed mine in the Aeroblade tracks bow-side up so that there is more surface contact with the inside tracks on the Aeroblade when I tightened the Hullavator down. The instructions didn't mention this, so I don't think it matters, but why not have more surface to hold it down tight. * Use blue locktight on everything screwed down so that bolts don't come loose from all the road vibrations. * Take your time --- it's actually a very simple install ... show more

  • check manufacturing date of gas strut
The Hullavator's sole and only purpose is to provide "lift assist". This is advertised as 40 pounds. After installing, it was unable to lift my wife's 36 pound kayak. As a scientist / engineer I decided to measure the lift capability of the individual arms. At the beginning of the lift, the first 6 inches or so, it was no more than 25 pounds (adding the individual results of each arm). During the majority of the lift, the next 21 inches or so, it was about 30 pounds. At the end, the last 6 inches it was slightly more, about 32 pounds. I then checked the gas struts and noticed a manufacturing date of 2008 (I just purchased this in March 2022). Providing just over 50% of the advertised lift at the beginning, when it is most important, seems to suggest either that the gas struts are defective or that Thule's advertising is misleading. I have reached out to Thule and will provide their response. Update: We had numerous correspondences with the Seller (New England Dive). Their responses mostly consisted of that we had done something wrong (either in installation or operation); even though, our explanations to them were clear and concise in that it was installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Ultimately, they said they could not assist in that it was a warranty issue between us and the manufacturer (Thule). The measure of a Seller is not only how well they deliver, it is how well they respond if there is a issue. Based on this, I cannot recommend purchasing from New England Dive. As to the manufacturer, Thule, after almost a week, they responded. They identified the process to initiate a warranty claim and how long it would take. The process raised concerns in that: they would ultimately determine if it was a valid claim; the time to obtain replacement parts was unknown; and, we were responsible for shipping the defective parts back to Thule. While understandable, as a warranty process, considering that the product was defective out of the box (maybe Thule should implement some quality control to assure that what's put in the box isn't defective), this put too much on us to resolve what is effectively and essentially the fault of the manufacturer. In the end, the least hassle process was to simply return the product to the Seller. ... show more
