Question:

We have 2 Eddyline Caribbean 12 sit on top kayaks. Boats are each 30” wide and have a skeg or keel that runs the entire length of the boats. Will 2 of the Malone Seawings work on our 2019 Subaru Outback factory bars to transport these kayaks? I’m concerned about the skeg and if it will work with the SeaWing.

Expert Reply:

Your kayaks will fit the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG107MD, but two of them will not fit your 2019 Subaru Outback's factory roof rack because the crossbars simply are not long enough for both the carriers and your 30" wide kayaks. So to use a kayak carrier you'll need an aftermarket roof rack, and the verified fit to replace the roof rack on your 2019 Outback is from Yakima, and consists of the following part numbers:

- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Silver # Y00428 or Black # Y00425

- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR

- Landing Pad 15 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00241

- (Optional): Lock Cores # Y07204

This rack has 50 inch crossbars, so you'll just need to install the pair of Malone SeaWing Kayak Carriers # MPG107MD at the ends of the crossbars, and you'll have plenty of room.
