Huh.
Call again and talk to Auggie, (sp). He's really knowledgable. So what if it hits the hood, you never have to open the hood, and if you do, just take it off and set it in the back or on the ground. Sounds like the guy you talked to tried to sell you something he thought you needed. Get the multimount if you want. It's a great setup, and doesn't affect the approach agle very much at all. They're very versatile too. Sorry to hear you had trouble.
If you put the synthetic line on, the weight of the multimount drops significantly, and it's not hard to lift at all. With cable, it's a drag, but still manageable. (it's about 30lbs heavier)
Good luck!
