Today, we're going to be taking a look at some replacement parts for your Yakima FatCat 4, or your FatCat 6 EVO. So, if you're like me and you lose things a lot, or things just tend to break on ya, well, what we're gonna be looking at today is gonna be some replacement parts, specifically, just a little knob right here. So, if it breaks on ya, maybe you tighten it down a little too much, or it just gets brittle over time, these knobs are gonna be essential to getting the FatCat Evo up onto your roof. So it's gonna come with four of these right here. So if you have FatCat, all you have to do is grab one of the replacements and it's gonna come with enough for both the front crossbar and the back crossbar and each of 'em have two on them, but it's also gonna come with the washer as well. So if you did lose the washer and you don't have one at your house, it's gonna come with both.
So you don't really have to worry about anything like that. But again, sometimes these kind of run off or they just break. So we do have replacements for ya. It's gonna be the exact same one that came with the kit originally. So you don't have to worry about it not fitting.
There really isn't a whole lot to go over when it comes to replacement parts, just know that we do have them. And if you maybe break the whole entire foot assembly too, we have this as well. So just go to the related parts section of the webpage of FatCat and you're gonna find all the replacement parts. That's basically it for our look at the replacement washer and knob set for your Yakima FatCat Evo..
These worked great to retrofit my older (2008?) FatCat Evo6 carriers and be able to mount them on stock 2024 Mercedes cross bars. Very easy installation.
Exactly what I needed for my Yakima FatCat. I've had my ski racks for 10 years and two plastic knobs broke this year. Now I can keep using my ski racks with an inexpensive replacement part.

Hi Mara, way to be resourceful and get extended use of your ski rack! Do you have a favorite place you like to ski?
Worked perfect. Trailer is great
Product was great and got here fast. My spouse over tightened the knob and turned it the wrong way causing it to break at the plastic. I ordered these and they got here fast. Pro tip: in a pinch, you can tighten the metal nut with pliers until the replacement arrives. Now I have three left for when this inevitably happens next ski season.
As described. Very good shipping and t racking.
It was very easy to find exactly what I needed. Shipping and handling was very fast.
The right part, a good price, and quick service! What more could you want?

Received the package fast.
Exactly what I was looking for!
Easy ordering. Received in reasonable time.
I now have several of these racks (on two vehicles). Switching the original rack between vehicles was easy until a knob broke. The cam nut still functioned but switching between vehicles was a pain. Bought a second rack and now have the extra parts available if/when I need them. etrailer was easy to work with and updated me frequently as to the status of this back-ordered part (Yakima didn't have the part available either).
So happy I chose genuine Yakima parts from etrailer.com for for the best price and customer service.

One year later still happy with my Yakima parts from etrailer.
Better quality than the originals!
I recently ordered these knobs as I lost one of mine used to tighten and secure my Yakima FatCat 4 snowboard rack to my crossbars and it wasn't possible without these. Not only did they fit as hoped but they seem to be heavier duty and of better quality than the original knobs that came with the rack. These are Yakima OEM knobs so they're the real deal but it seems like Yakima improved the quality of them compared to the ones that came with the rack I have.
With all of this said, one can easily find wing nuts that will fit the screw to the Yakima rack but just in case you were wondering if these would work and fit, the answer is yes! And they're the best quality!
The folks at etrailer were super friendly and helpful. Although there was a bit of a few months delay (not eTrailer's fault) they kept me in the loop and kept the communication open throughout the whole process.
Would do business with again in futur. 5 STARS
Thank you
Took 6-8 weeks to come back in stock... but this is what I needed. Too bad I couldn't get it directly from Yakima
Solid replacement product. Only reason I did not give them 4 stars is the handles are longer than the factory ones and does not work well with the extension out on the ski mounts. Luckily I only had to replace one knob so I swapped the replacement with a factory and it worked just fine.
Very responsive in keeping me informed of where the order stood and when it was coming. Very helpful.
Customer representitives kept me updated on my order. I initially ordered two sets but they had only one set in stock. Customer representitive called me right away and explained in detail about my order.
I requested just the one set thta they had in stock and it was sent out that next day plus my refund was processed that same day for the second set.
I will definitely use etrailer again and I would recommend them to anybody.
good customer service and follow through
Great product exactly what I needed. Now I'm back using my wisperbar snow mount for winter sports. Needed a replacement as one of the original product screws got stripped when I was removing them last season. These guys are great! Very quick shipping too!
