Are Adapters Needed to Mount Yakima BigCatch Kayak Rack to Malone MicroSport Low Bed Trailer
Question:
Do I need special adapters to connect the Yakima Big Catch to the Malone Microsport Low Bed Trailer? Is there a maximum crossbar spread for these saddles? I know the minimum is 27, but I thought I had read an Etrailer response that the crossbar spread on the Malone trailer is too far apart.

Expert Reply:
Nope, you do not need any type of adapter to mount the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier # Y04091 with the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LB.
There is also not a maximum crossbar spread for the saddles; there is the 27 inch minimum like you said, but no maximum so the 44" - 63" spread of the LowBed trailer will work with the BigCatch.
