Yes, I do have a solution for you. You will be able to get more use from your Yakima HullRaiser kayak carrier if you add two of the Yakima HullRaiser to HullRaiser Aero Conversion Kit, part # Y8860031. You can convert your old HullRaiser to a HullRaiser Aero, which can be installed on round, square, or elliptical shaped crossbars. I also recommend adding the Replacement Plug Kit for Yakima HullRaiser Roof Mounted Kayak Carrier (QTY 20), part # Y8890058, to your order. This is because you have to remove the plugs from your HullRaiser to install the bracket for your conversion kit. You might not be able to reuse off of the plugs after you remove them and it is better to be safe than sorry.

I have included product description links and a video demo link below.
