This is a very unique question that is impacted by the hulls your hauling and the loading efforts.Has anyone determined the optimal length of the cross bar for use with a hullavator (or two)? I’d like as short as possible with enough hullavator drop down clearance to not make me panic... anyone know the magic length?
Thanks!
Just to confirm, you did get the 60" bars, right? Can you post a picture of your setup showing the hullavator in the down position?Just installed Thule aero bars and rapid crossroads. For use with hullavators (and probably a 10ft boat and longer) the ideal length of bar is 60”. I called Thule this morning and they said 53” could work - which I don’t think takes into account the wide “hips” of the Ascent and I would not recommend.
The Thule ProBar comes in 69" length and can easily be cut down with a hacksaw. That's what I did.Thule does not currently make a cross bar that is the recommended 60” length to fit the Ascent.
