Kayak Hoist Installation 

Just reduced my stress level from these written directions by 1000%. Thank you! Love that I don’t have to cut the rope!

It's 105 degrees here today and you saved us from having a heat stroke out in the garage trying to figure out the pulley set-up!! Thank you so much!!!

Although you made this video a couple years ago I want to thank you. I wasn’t in a good state of mind to be able to read and decipher the directions. The pictures in the direction were fine until I tried to put the rope through. Your video was so helpful and easy to follow. I think it was easier to do the rope backwards. Thank you.

I bought one of these a while ago and just got around to installing it this weekend - this video was a HUGE help. Thanks!

What a great way to help others! The only mistake I made is not putting the hooks straight down. Trying to spread the hooks bound the mechanism.

Very helpful, thank you! The one thing I wasn't clear about is how to release the brake to lower it again. I found that if I pull one rope, it releases the other side to lower it first, then pull the second rope to release the first.

The BEST video and explanation of how to thread the “braking” pulley!! Thank you! (and yes…. I lost the original instructions)

Yup, you just relieved my stress level. Thank You for making this video so detailed.

Bless you for making this video about how to thread the rope. I have a different brand from Amazon, and the pictures are dark and hard to discern. My directions started the same way with making a knot at the one-pulley end. Perfect video. After watching, it took me no time to finish up the rope while the hubby went to pick up our pizza.

you're a genius.... I was looking at that pully with the brake and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to make it work. Thanks for taking the time to make and post the video.

Just finished mine...coming back here to say thank you!

Man! I love it when someone makes an instructional video and does it properly and informatively. Great instruction - Great audio - Perfect video, along with up close instruction of proper running of the cables. Thank you!!

I truly appreciate you taking the time to make this video. It was tremendously helpful for me tonight

Aaron, even though I got a different brand, it's the same design but my directions sucked so your video was excellent to show exactly how it's done. Thank you very much!!

Thank you so much!! I could not understand what the drawing was saying. You described it perfectly!!!!

Clear, concise, straight to the point and explained very well ! Kudos ! 👏

I hope you know how much this video helped. The instructions included in the box were rather vague, especially with the length of the rope. Thank you for this video!!

I cut the original rope....very irritating. I bought another, higher quality rope and followed your instructions. Ive watched every video on this hoist, and yours is the best. Many, many thanks. Liked and subscribed!

Thanks for the detail. The instructions are horrible so your video saved the day!

Excellent thanks from Mexico you save me a lot of time

Great video, I will order this to remove my 2 doors Jeep’s hard top. Thanks this will save me headaches when I get it

Mate you've been a great help thank you so much from the UK 🇬🇧

Thank you so much for doing this video. Every instructional video should be this helpful and to the point!

Really clear and helpful. I'd never have worked this out without your video. Thanks for posting it. 👍

Thank you Aaron. Going to be installing this today.

These would work perfectly for hanging grow lights..... This may have just saved me thousands of dollars so thank you!!!

God I love the internet. I have this exact same kit, and the ropes were confusing the shit out of me. Thank you soooo much. And I started backwards too, seemed more obvious

Thank you for doing this video. It is the only one that was clear on how to thread rope. I mentally thanked you for having the camera vertical! Lol

You saved a marriage sir with my sense's 😂😂😂

Thanks for doing this. I was having trouble with the roping and you had the answer.

Dude!!! You are fuckin' awesome. Now I don't have to start throwing tools everywhere in a fit of rage. You are doing God's work my friend.

Great Video. Your demo made installing the rope a snap! One more Kayak to hang! Thanks

This is probably the best up close look of all these install videos. I'm very handy and installed mine last night but the instructions were not clear at all with how the rope went through the brake. Mine was a different brand but same style. My straps were also different. Going to replace them with the daisy chain style you have.

Got mine up the first time because of this. Thanks! A huge time saver!!

Awesome video ! I got stuck on the rope system and thank god for your help. Excellent explanation

Thank you so much. I was about to give up

Best instructions!!!! Thanks!!

Thank you! Easiest instructions ever

Brilliant video, I was distracted ... thankyou .

WOW! You saved my behind!

Thanks for the video - really useful!

Thanks Aaron! That was helpful!

Great Video. Thank you for your detailed explanation! Just finished the installation. I suggested to not walk underneath it for a few days.... just in case..... (nothing to do with your instructions, just my general craftsmanship is a little to be desired....).

Very helpful saved me many frustrating minutes

Great video, I followed step by step and it worked a treat!

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks that helped me a lot AAron.

THANK YOU!!! The double pully is really hard to follow with the B&W printout.

Thanks for this it did help. One thing though if your putting these up, they hang low so hopefully you got a tall enough ceiling.

This video really helped me! Thank you !

Thanks for the tutorial, mine was similar but a different brand. The instructions were probably written in Chinese then translated to German then into Swahili then into Ancient Greece then back to Chinese and finally into English. Without your help I would be force to take an extension class in Swahili and Chinese.

That helps a lot. Thank you and God bless you

Thanks for the video bro !

Thanks , very helpful and easy to follow

Very helpful. Thanks

Thanks for the video. The instructions that came with mine did not have a diagram, only words. And it’s a disaster to try and follow.

I just got the same hoist today and this video is extremely helpful. Thank you for posting this! I like how you say acrost or acrossed, I used to do that until my wife teased and corrected me. Now every time I say across, she says don't you mean acrost? I played that part of the video for her and she got the giggles. Cheers

The instructions are not very clears. Thank you for that video to light up my mind. 👍👍👍

Awesome 👌 👏 Thank You!

Thank you for this. It helped so much!

Hey Aaron! Thank you so much for this video sir. The drawing of how to thread that rope had me completely confused. Your video unfu*cked me 😂😂. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks for the movie 😉

Would it be possible to have one end lower then the other? I liked to hoist between my trusses of our pole barn so the angle of the roof would give it about a foot difference from from to back.

Great help thank you 👍

Bro pleaseeee make this video again in horizontal, the vertical recordibg was killing me.

howdy. how do you like the build quality of the RAD product ? In particular, 1. the pulleys look like plastic. Are they quality nylon, or something cheesier (polyurethane) ? 2. on the hooks, it looks like the arms are attached via a bolt to the central fork (presumably so they can hinge to assume the optimum angle for the slings). Do these hinge bolts look sturdy ? How are they capped ? basically a rivet, or a bolt/nut ? Thanks for your video !

Thank you!!

I just installed one of these for my Thule box but didn't used the straps like you did as I was concerned the pressure points on the lid would deform it over time since it's not designed to take a load like the bottom is. I rigged up a different contraption to hang from the black hooks but my question is have you noticed any issues from the pressure of the straps on the sides of the lid?

Do they have to be spaced a certain length away? I'm trying to hang some lights from this and this seems to be the only single string pulley system I can find

You the man, thanks a lot

Thanks!

Thank you

Portrait? Do you hang your tv on the wall long side up? :-) Thanks for the video. People who film in portrait bug the crap out of me though..Ever go in a theatre? See how the screens look? :-) your phone can do that too if you turn it sideways...

How high is your ceiling? Mine is 8 feet, will this hoist work for me? I have a hobie outback that I want to store, but I don’t know if I have enough height.

Good job ,but keep your your phone horizontal, so we get the full picture ,cheers

How safe are these?

awesome, thank you! the paper directions are a joke! Cheers

True hero, the written instructions are poop

Out-fukin-standing! Why does the instructions have to be so @$#%….

Thanks!

Thank you!
