<span class="highlight">boat</span> <span class="highlight">loader</span> for np pajero

Mate, suggest you go to the Pajero Club Forum and ask there.
Bear in mind the roof limit is 100KG.

There was one for sale on the NSW Triple Diamond site last year. Not sure if its still available:

i have one on an 80 series toyota

Hi SuePaj, we love our 2005 NP Pajero DiD also (except the jack is pretty crappy, try changing a tyre on the GRR with it!!). I am really interested in the boat-loader too and was going to post about it: we tow an Aussie Swag camper but want the flexibility of carrying a tinnie when we don't camp.

On our trip North this last 3 months I saw lots of Rhino knock-offs including on NP Pajeros that were made by people with metal trades skills: I wish! That's an option. Also people had modified roof racks to have a roller on the back and guides to fit the gunwhale width. The guys lifted, guided and held the boat steady while the women used hand winches attached to the roo bar. Looked a bit fraught and unstable to me and lots of anxiety was obvious during the load and unload.

My thinking is 3.7m with 15hp donk is the ideal; tinnie not heavier than 80kg. For me there is probably little alternative to forking out the bucks....and it does seem pretty fool-proof.

What sort of motor will you get and how will you carry it? I have been told that 4-strokes can't be laid down or they leak oil everywhere. I am thinking of getting a frame to keep it on about a 50 degree angle so I can lift it into the back while on the frame. Maybe there's some quick-release stand you can get for the towbar that stands out far enough to keep out of the way of the spare wheel and cover???

I would appreciate you keeping me in the loop by Member Message about what you find out.

Good luck, RayJen Paj05

Hi RayJen paj05,I should have said ,we have got a 3.i tinny with a 8 hp susuki 2 stroke motor.We tow a 16foot roadrstar caravan so we think we will mount the motor on a frame on the draw bar.We want to get a fold up trailer one day as well,which will go on the back bumper bar on caravan.It will be a pleasure to keep you in the loop,this forum is a great way to learn things isnt it .Thanks for your help cheers sue

Folks,

Just another option to throw into the melting pot. There is a side boat loader called "Freestyle" which allows the loading/unloading of a boat without the need to unhook whatever you may have on the back of your vehicle.

May be a practical alternative to the rear loader style.

Freestyle Boat Loader

And another option, if you want one made for the boat and car,



No ties etc, just a happy customer.

Kind regards

All the purpose built tinnie racks seem great, I partularily like the Tinne Tosser with the outboard rack.

But what do you do when you already have an ARB roof rack worth around $800, when at the time a boat was not an issue. Time has moved on and so have you and want to carry a boat on it?
