Can Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier be Used with Malone Telos XL Load Assist

Question

Question:

I have Yakima JayLow. Intent is get Telos XL to help load 2 kayaks on Honda Pilot. We do use 08L02-TG7-100C Honda roof rack. The concern is if the Universal adapter MPG368 for both sides in addition to the JayLow will not fit the length of the roof rack. The hope is if the adapter will be able to slide under the nose of the JayLow. Thanks Martin

Hey Martin, so you did your homework on this but yes you can use the Telos lift assist part # MPG351XL with your Yakima JayLow kayak carrier as long as you also get the universal roof rack adapter part # MAL95VR.

This adapter would give you the additional length needed to get over the side of your rack since it's an OEM set of crossbars.

Answer 5

The Thule Hulavator kayak carrier #TH898 does indeed need 4 to 8 inches of free crossbar sticking out beyond the feet or, in this case, the side rails. Without that extra bit of bar the Hullavator arms that come down to load/unload the kayak would…
