Recommend Carrier to Carry 2 Kayaks on the Factory Roof Rack of a 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
I have a 2017 Outback limited. Will it fit two of these seawings to haul 2 kayaks with the factory crossbars? Or will I need new wider crossbars and a box/tower mounts?

I have a possible solution for you.
First, though, using two of the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carriers, part # MPG107MD, will not work. There is usually not enough space to set two kayaks side-by-side.
Instead, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier, part # S512-S512X. This carrier is able to carry 2 kayaks on their sides next to each other. It's the best way to carry 2 kayaks and minimize the amount of space required.
