On installing cradles for AI...I just got them and both front and rear look exactly the same. I am assuming that since the amas don't even reach the front cradle when folded in, that Hobie made both front and rear identical for simplicity reasons. I am wondering if I flex them, using some sort of shimming, will it harm them in the long run. The picture of the installed cradles in the trailer websites show them twisted up significantly on the front cradle. Also, since they are 8 in. wide, should all 8 inches be supported, or does just the area under the bolt holes need support? I wish some one had put a bit of thought in the form of instructions to give a little guidance on what the design was intended to give.
