Posted - 10/19/2019 : 12:24:45 I can't tell for sure from the photo, but the keel support on my EZ Loader trailer could be lowered out from under the fin keel by unscrewing long screws. By lowering it, I could paint the bottom of the keel. Perhaps the reason might be similar for your cradle. Cradles are commonly set on big timbers, to elevate them off the ground and prevent them from rusting and to adjust for uneven ground. If the cradle is elevated, perhaps the support can be lowered to permit painting under the keel.
