REI Members get back an estimated $ 7.90 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Yakima Boat Loader:

Heavy-duty, sturdy extension fits inside round Yakima bars and extends to give an extra hand when needed. Then slides back into the rack when you're done.

This product turned the frustrating task of loading a heavy kayak onto a small SUV by myself from an overwhelming chore into a minor exercise.

Relatively easy to install (provided your bars are not corroded inside). Very easy to use and Highly recommended.

Comments about Yakima Boat Loader:

I have this Boat Loader on a Chevrolet Suburban for use with 14-foot kayaks. Have used it for about 4 years, with frequent salt-water exposure. It is holding up great. Nice for solo loading on a tall SUV, and can handle the 70-lb boats with ease.

Comments about Yakima Boat Loader:

I have used this product for loading two different canoes including an 81 lb grumman whitewater canoe. Its a lifesaver. Helps with preventing car scratches and simply makes loading and unloading greatly simplified. Installation was a breeze. Ie remove endcap and slide in.
