Installation of RAD Sportz Kayak Hoist model numbers 1003 and 1004 to hoist up two kayaks in my garage. This is Amazon.com 's recommended product for kayak hoist and at just under $40 at time of purchase (Jan 2021), this certainly does the trick. The instruction manual is poor and while there are some videos already online, I found the need to make a new one to make an updated one with the most recent model. Below is a table of contents so you can fast forward to the step where you need help.

Thanks for sharing this perfect video! I referred to it several times while installing mine. Like others have said, your walk-through on how to string the pullies was a life saver.

Thanks you for posting this. Made this install so much easier. I agree, the instructions in the manual were not good.

It looked like it was actually quite difficult to release the brake - you had to swing the kayak almost completely to one side to be able to release it. What's your advice on that? Also hard to tell whether the wrap on the wall is actually holding the weight of it up, or would it hold if the 'brake' was not engaged?

Not too hard to release the brake, especially after a little practice. The hardware on the wall can also hold the weight (if you mount it into the studs). I did wind up replacing the substandard hardware with a better one found at a big box hardware store. Thanks for the comment!
