Is the a numeric measurement used from the bottom plate to the top bracket?

The instruction manual isn't clear to me.

Allow trimplate to rest in the deployed position (do not hold the plate). What is the "deployed position"?

Is the deployed position the maximum downward position? If so thats simple enough.


Side question. Anybody ever paint the brackets. The black plastic would look better painted white/creme on my white boat. Also some reflective paint on the top of the tab for swimmer safety.

I just installed mine on my Mariah Z202. The deployed position is letting them fall downward. I personally think the black tabs look good sitting next to the black drive.
