Question:
I have 2 hullavators to attached to my Honda Pilot 2019 using the Yakima skyline tower, landing pads #19 and the question is should I use the 70” yakima jetstream bars to get the required 4-8 inch needed Thanks

Expert Reply:
While we do technically have an option for mounting 2 Hullavators # TH898 onto your 2019 Honda Pilot with the Yakima SkyLine Towers # Y53TR and Landing Pad 19 # Y00245 on your flush rails, you would need at least 72" inches of usable crossbar space for the required 4-8 inches of length past the feet. This is because one Hullavator measures 36" long. The 70" JetStream crossbars # Y00427 does not provide enough length.
With that being said, the only Yakima option we carry that has that length is if you use 2 of the 80" Yakima CoreBars # 8880656. These bars are compatible with the SkyLine Towers and Landing Pad 19 on your Pilot. However, it is important to note that bars that extend past your mirrors is extremely dangerous and can be illegal in some municipalities. Also, since 2 Hullavators weigh a total of 79.4 pounds, you will have 85.6 pounds of available weight capacity on the rack for your 2 kayaks.
If you find that you need more weight capacity and don't want to sacrifice the load assist, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL along with an additional DownLoader # MPG114MD will provide you with 140.6 pounds of available capacity for your kayaks. The 70" Crossbars # Y00427 will provide you with enough space for these.
