Question:
What do you recommend we buy to carry two kayaks on our 2013 Honda Fit?
asked by: Cathy D
Expert Reply:
To be able to carry two kayaks on your 2016 Fit I recommend a roof rack and a kayak carrier.
The roof rack I recommend is the Yakima roof rack. This roof rack includes round 48-inch long crossbars along with the towers, base plates and fit kit. To order this roof rack you will need part # Y00408, part # Y28TR, part # Y03536, and part # Y06143.
The kayak carrier I recommend is the Yakima JayLow, part # Y04073. This attaches to the crossbars and you can place a kayak on each side of the center mast. This carrier includes tie-downs to secure your one kayak to the carrier and bow and stern tie-downs. For a set for the second boat use part # Y04031.
To make it easier to secure the bow and stern tie-downs I recommend part # e36ZR. This tie-down kit comes with 2 soft foam anchors that go inside your trunk or hood. You just attach these to the tie-downs and close them under the hood and the rear hatch or trunk.
