I take that back, then, might try that on my boat trailer, however I still need to have heavier duty springs in the back.

If you change over your springs, check the axle weight is correct for your trailer, you might find that may need to be changed over as well.Wolly Bugger wrote:I take that back, then, might try that on my boat trailer, however I still need to have heavier duty springs in the back.
If you are going to use something like this make sure your vehicle is suitable eg a falcon without a HD tow bar fitted cannot be used with one of these.ratbag wrote:what vehicle do you have? Is the issue a weight distribution for towing? you can get some simple tow systems to spread the weight. I picked up a set of theses & had the trailer bracket welded to fit on the single draw bar.

As above.Paulanderson wrote:I had a 5 m Quinnie Fishmaster with a 70 HP Evinrude for a long time so very similar to your rig. The Quinnie towed well with about 45-50 kg on the tow ball. I also support the idea of shifting the winch post as long as you do not get a lot of overhang at the stern of the boat. You should not have to shift it very far. Much easier than shifting the axle.
