From the looks of the photo you provided (thanks so much for this!), you have the Yakima JayHook Kayak Carrier # Y04084. I went ahead and attached the specific information you need to attach the JayHook to the MightyMount # Y03590.

One of the important things to remember is that since the JayHook requires for you to use the large carriage bolt with the MightyMount, it is important that you also use the large bail. You will attach the Jayhoook to the MightyMounts with the large carriage bolts right in those four large bolt holes in the Jayhook. I attached a picture of where those are located.
