Roof Storage

I would remove the boat before winding the roof up. Any extra load or drag is likely to cause a cable to break, especially if the van is a few years old. Good luck with it.

Hi

The recommended weight you quoted re: 100kg, is that the weight
recommended when the Camper Roof is down? I wouldnt trust the
wind up cables to lift that weight, we had a Jayco Finch Outback,
and we broke one of the cables when it wasnt under load, we got it
repaired under warranty,.

G'day,

nice to here I'm not the only one with one of these little boats.

Bought a 5HP Honda 4 stroke for it and went for a fange up the Blackwood river a couple of weeks ago. Goes great, gets to some real good fishing spots I used to have to paddle hrs to get to!
We just strap ours to the top of our soft top camper. It is so light we didn't need a boat rack and the money we saved not getting a rack bought the boat and motor.

In regards to your question, the boats so light and easy to move, I wouldn't chance poping the top with it on. I know a guy who had surfboards strapped to top of his and he used to leave them on, one of the struts eventually bent so bad it needed replacing!!!

happy boating!

thankyou All,
yes the spindrift is a great thing, we are very happy with ours :-)

take care
