Recommended Canoe Carrier for Factory Roof Rack of a 2011 Subaru Outback
Question:
Im looking for a way to carry a canoe on top of a 2011 Outback. The width of most canoes is pretty much the same as the width of the factory crossbars. Does one of your systems work?

Expert Reply:
For a gunwhale style bracket I recommend the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal Mount # Y04069. This does require that the canoe is slightly within the factory crossbar width.
For a saddle style that does not require that, I recommend the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Universal Mount # S65145. This is designed to be compatible with canoes and factory roof racks like the one on your 2011 Subaru Outback.
