Will the Nautic Kayak Carrier # RR570 Work with Yakima Round Bars on the Rack and Roll # Y08107

Question:

I am looking to buy the Yakima Rack and Roll 78 inch and the Rhino saddles for my Hobie Outback and Revolution Kayaks. I am concerned about the Rhino saddles rotating on the Yakima round bar. Can you confirm this will not be an issue, or recommend an alternative? Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier # RR570 that you referenced has actually been tested and approved by Rhino-Rack to work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory racks.

Since the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 uses standard round bars they are compatible with each other. The carrier will roll back or forth but only when the kayaks are not loaded.
