For your 2017 Subaru Outback, I recommend the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs - Rear Loading - Clamp On # MPG113MD. This carrier will support the weight of the carrier and help you with loading and unloading it safely. For this carrier, your factory crossbars must be at least 24 inches apart on center.

This carrier gives you adjustability for your long kayak to support it properly and can handle up to 75 lbs.
