PROPER ADJUSTMENT
Ideally the pads in the rear will be spread out towards the edges of the hull to better distribute the boat’s
weight on the rear cradle lift beam. The front pivot pads should be positioned where they best support
the hull and prevent the boat from leaning once the cradle lift platform begins to raise it out of the water.
Fig. 42 shows well-positioned cradle pad pivot bunks. Note that the support tubes do not extend below
the main cradle lift beam. This prevents them from hitting the lake bottom when the cradle lift platform
is in its lowered position. Refer to the instructions included in the cradle pad pivot bunks to install and
adjust them.

Fig. 37d Ideal bunk placement. Note that the bunks are
spread out to the widest position on the boat hull. They sit
nicely into the contour of the hull and the keel has plenty of
clearance above the main lift beam. If possible, this is the
most ideal bunk placement for non-inboards.
