Can you lower it to the next location down?

This is a 2004. The “lock” section is just 1/4” channel (banks are cast out of the load plane) with a lightweight metal alloy providing the tilt. At the lower sections it is much more robust and machined into the larger casting. But at the “up” position it’s pretty flimsy. I don’t think I’ll be able to get a pic today. Maybe Friday as that is now “drill and cry” day (aka mount your new winches! day).

Yep Jaysen switching to the 15" of drop will solve your problem. It is just the design of a sailboats transom that is causing you the problem since it sets above the water line unlike a power boat as your picture shows. Good luck finding all the change under the cushions of the chairs and sofa.

Thanks for the pics.
