It Is at the correct height. PHOTO 2 You will notice a Gap between the bow and the polyurethane at the bottom. This means the height is probably too low, Unless there is allot of pressure on the eye of the boat pulling down, then the weight of the boat is on the clamp and is is too high. PHOTO 3. If there is a gap between the bow of the boat and the poly at the TOP, Then this means you must raise your winch stand Up. The clamp is set too low.
