Request for Closeup Hobie Cradle Pictures

Hello,

Can someone post close up pictures of the Hobie cradles? I am specifically trying to figure out how they will be mounted to a retrofitted trailer. I am having a custom trailer built, so I want to make sure I see how others have mounted them. I have my cradles on order currently, but hoping to get the manufacturing of the trailer going in the mean time.

Thanks in advance!

Outer pads cover the bolt holes. The cradles are flat on the bottoms in those areas. Easily mounts to a flat surface.

Thanks Matt. You answered my question. I was wondering how they were bolted on to the trailer. I assume the pads are installed after the bolt is installed? Also, what is the optimal locations of the cradles?

Yes bolts first then install the pads. On carpeted versions you cut a slit to pass the bolt through.

67" for best fit. These are formed to specific points on the hull.
