The red knobs were on the older shorter travel model and would weld themselves together and it was a pain in the buttt. They were just using an old picture for disply purposes.
I put this bracket on my Grady White last spring and I have been pleased with it. It works very well. The springs are strong, but with a motor on the bracket, I did not have trouble dropping the kicker into the water. Hope it works as well for you.
