Longer Bolts for Thule Hull-A-Port J-Style Kayak Carrier

Question:

I have a yakima rack and thule j racks for kayaks but the bolts are too short to fit on my yakima round racks. What bolts do I need to get?

It sounds like you have the Thule Hull-A-Port, # TH834, which should fit the Yakima round bars. The Yakima round bars are only 1/4 inch taller than the Thule bars. But if it is not working then you would need longer bolts. The Hull-A-Port originally came with a set of 50mm bolts and a set of 65mm bolts. But you can use the 75mm M6 bolt, # TH915-0675-11. These bolts are sold in quantities of 1.

Or if you wanted the M6 x 65mm bolts use # 915-066-554, also sold in quantities of 1.
