Will 2 Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carriers Y04074 Fit on 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon
Updated 03/11/2016 | Published 03/10/2016
Question:
Do you know if 2 sets of Yakima Saddles will fit on the factory cross bars of the 2016 Outback? Weight limit is 150 lbs and out kayaks only weigh 100 lbs together. I currently use the Yakima saddles and rollers for easy loading. Thanks.

The Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier # Y04074 is designed to fit any crossbars whose dimensions do not exceed 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-11/16-inches tall and that have a center-to-center spread of at least 24-inches.
You can certainly fit two of the SweetRoll carrier on the car, but the dimensions of the two kayaks will determine whether both watercraft will fit at the same time. If the two kayaks are identical you can try moving the SweetRoll to one side of the rack and install the kayak. If the one rack/kayak do not use more than 50-percent of the available bar space then the other carrier/kayak should fit.
Keep in mind that the car's roof weight rating of 150-lbs needs to include not only the two kayaks' weight but also that of the two carriers, which weigh about 8-lbs each for a total of another 16-lbs.
