    Retractable tie downs

    Does the hull clear the retractable tie downs when loading and unloading? When mounted on my 2015 model z6, the tie downs are just barely under the trailer bunks when unhooked. Don’t want to gouge the hell out of my hull.

    Should clear. The trailer should be deep enough and enough of an angle where this is not an issue.

    You can turn them sideways if your not comfortable. Have never heard of anyone having this issue.

    My Z7 doesn't hit. Boat floats over them.

    New 21Z20 and no clearance issues. Can always change them to be removable each time, pain in butt but no scraped hull either.

    Got about 11/2 clearance with boat sitting on trailer. Just didn’t know if bow would hit loading and unloading. Thanks for the replies.

    The back of the trailer is much deeper than the bow when loading. The keel makes first contact about halfway up the bunks. You shouldn't have any problems at all.

    Brain fart! Didn’t even think about the angle of the ramp. Worried about nothing. Thanks
