Question:
Will this work with Yakima Round bars? Is it secured to the roof rack after it is lifted onto the top of the roof? Are there pads on the mounting bars to protect the kayak in the kayak, or is the kayak mounted on metal bars? Do you sell their suction cup wheel trolley in their video? Pros/cons of this vs Thule Hullavator vs Telos?

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack Nautic Kayak Lift Assist is only confirmed to fit Rhino Rack Vortex Aero, Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty, and Thule AeroBlade crossbars. Since you have Yakima bars this would not work for you.
The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 would work on your roof rack so I would recommend it for you. Check out the review video I attached for this product.
