This I definitely agree with. Even for my dock (no slip and pretty wide open) since I have an inboard I come in at an angle so they are not in the way and the bump reverse to bring the stern in. This gives me zero problems. I could not drive straight in with the whips angled like they are, that wouldn't work with the angle they are at.. I will say too for what I would consider cheap cast aluminum I have bumped them a few times coming in hot and they have withstood a marginal beating.
