Will Yakima BoatLoader EVO Load Assist Work with Both JetStream and CoreBar Crossbars

Question:

I see that you can the “oval” shaped Yakima boat loader assist into the core bar. Can you insert it into the jet stream bar?

The Yakima CoreBar crossbars have a hollow inside all the way through which allows the (discontinued) Yakima BoatLoader EVO Telescoping Load Assist 8004085 to fit into.

Since the Yakima JetStream crossbars aren't hollow all the way through we'll need to look at more of a universal load assist like the Rhino-Rack # RR-RUSL instead. This clamps around on the outside of the crossbar so it doesn't require any special system to fit with.
