| Boat position on the trailer should be pretty well defined by Tuffy on this package, with the number out there since they went to the TuffTrails. Tongue weight should be around the minimum 10% of the total weight of the rig to get good towing results. Any less than this will probably result in trailer sway at highway speeds. If your rig weighs around 2500 lbs. you'll want approximately 250 lbs on the tongue. You can check this with a bathroom scale.
As for the dolly wheel not turning, I am not so sure excessive tongue weight is causing this. I have a lot more tongue weight than that, and my dolly turns fine. On my last boat, which was much, much lighter, I had the same problem. Replaced the dolly, and problem solved. But the dolly wheel had a flat spot worn in it. Perhaps it is sticking?
As far as hitting the lower unit, this should not be a problem if your using a motor toter. | |
