Good tip, Bill!!
I use pool noodles threaded on the straps to cushion the top of the kayak, pool noodles on my roofrack to cusion the bottom of the kayak, and line the straps up so they are over the bulkheads. Be cautious with ratchets or use the non ratchet type as Bill suggests. Works great and you can buy a beauty PFD with the money you saved by not buying the Thule racks.
Thanks again Bill. Thats what makes this site great!

: Far better are non-ratchet straps. You can kill a kayak in a hurry
: with ratchet straps, have seen several that required very
: expensive repairs because of them also a couple that were not
: repairable (blew out the hull/deck joint) because of them. The
: straps only need to be snug to hold a kayak.
