Yes, the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs item # Y04083-04082 will work with the Overhaul HD Crossbars. The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # Y01151-58 has 68" crossbars that measure 3" wide x 1-1/2" thick. I contacted Yakima and they were able to confirm that the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs item # Y04083-04082 will fit bars with those dimensions.

It looks like your Vibe Shearwater 125 weighs right at 80 lbs which is the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs item # Y04083-04082 maximum capacity. This carrier is a great way to haul your kayak and includes everything you will need to attach it to your Ladder Rack and straps to hold down your kayak.
