It's the dumbest design ever, but the 212x is in a spot right over a bunk too. It's like WTF of all the places to put a fill/drain hole you chose that spot? No idea why they didn't keep it where they had it on the old boats near the pump.are you laying on the ground taking the picture??
I would be concerned with a plastic fitting banging/bouncing/ rubbing on a bunk board
LERD that’s a stupid locationI saw that and texted my sales guy and he's like yup totally normal. I said well it may be normal, but it sure as hell ain't right. View attachment 120533

Right? If you recover back onto the trailer and you're not deep enough, the chances of dragging that down the bunk and ripping it out are pretty high. SERIOUSLY Yamaha.Especially for a plastic fitting that looks to be sealed with black RTV.
in the off season I'm going to notch out that bunk.The designer obviously did not overlay the trailer build specs., when they decided to place it there.
Can the bunks be moved in slightly?When launching and retrieving, I think we need to dunk the trailer little further than normal so not to drag this opening trim on the bunks increasing risk to damaging this trim piece and/or the bunk until a better solution can be identified. Not a fan of notching the bunk but we need to think of another alternative? Can’t think of one at the moment.
Just like plastic suppers had no chance of cracking and sinking your boat. Sorry but this is poor engineeringIt actually just sits on top of the bunk when you pull the trailer out. It isn't on the bunk when you are sliding forward. This is a none issue of ripping it off.
