The problem with using the 12v power point in the bed is it doesn’t power on until the vehicle is turned on.

1) Mandatory. I cut the brown wire and connected a 47ohm 2w resister between the two ends. This I believe limits the inrush current for the...

First of all love the wood kayak especially the joinery visible on the sides.
I have a 16' Hobie kayak with the Elevate Rack and Thule Hullavators which allow me to load by myself. I use additional ratchet straps (yellow straps) to better secure kayak. Could also attach bow and stern tie...

I had the Elevate Rack set at 23" from the bed sides which would put it about 45" above the bed floor. Could do Elevate at 18" (40" above bed).

2) On a previous vehicle I managed to scratch my roof pretty badly putting on a roof rack so I was nervous about that.
3) The...
Just to give you an idea of clearances. The Hullavator raises the kayak about 4 inches above the crossbar. With the rack at the 23" position I have about 10-12" clearance over the cab. Hard to get an exact measurement as the kayak hangs over the side of the truck
Hauled a 16' Hobie kayak using Thule Hullavator lift system attached to an Elevate Rack system. Had to do a few mods on the Hullavator to attach it the the Elevate Rack.
First trip did about 30 highway miles, kept the speed at about 65 as a trial and it came through with flying colors. Kind of...
