In Response To: Other: Yakima Rack Cradle Rotating (Kurt Maurer)

The rollers are a pain in the butt and don't offer much hull support so I don't use mine anymore. The saddles don't have much friction so the hulls slide over them pretty easily and if they turn a little reach up and straighten them, no biggy. If they are using the saddles that hold the boat on their side, the boats need to be lifted off them to prevent them from turning, I use a couple sets on my trailer, but it's low enough so I can easily lift the boats on and off.
