Hello All,
The previous owner of my boat and trailer moved the axle rearward - as he said "to enhance high speed towing and reversing procedures" the result is now there is far too much weight on the towball and it is almost impossible for even a strong person to lift manually - I have no hope.
My questions are, is there a formula that is used to caculate the best position or is it question of just trial and error - moving it forward until the balance is almost perfect and it becomes dead easy to lift the drawbar.
Also any recommendations of who may be able to perform this modification for me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
camboy
