Does Yakima BowDown and Deckhand Kayak Carrier Fit on 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
Question, I have the 2016 Subaru Outback. I a couple of questions if you dont mind: 1. Can I fit two sit on top kayaks onto roof with two Yakima Carriers with Tie-Downs Saddle Style with Rollers - Clamps Y04083-04082. 2. Do I need to buy cross bars or the Yakima rollers/mechanisms will fit directly onto the Subaru manufactured crossbars? 3. What is the difference between me purchasing w sets of the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier Tie Downs Roller Style - Rear Loading - Clamp ons AND 2 Sets of the Yakima DeckHand Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Rear Loading - Clamp on VERSE buying two of your Yakima Carriers with Tie Downs Saddle Style with Rollers - Clamps Y04083-0482? Are the rollers specific to front vs. back? Thank you in advance,

Expert Reply:
I checked with Yakima and the Deckhand and BowDown part # Y04083-04082 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon. You would not need to buy an additional roof rack as these would attach directly.
If you bought the Deckhand and the BowDown pieces separately there would be no difference from ordering this kit as it's the same components just kitted together differently.
Whether or not you could fit two of these on your bars will be based on the widths of your boats and how long your crossbars are.
