The one drawback of our GS on the Boatmate dual axle trailer has been the lack of adequate tongue weight…(with no ability to move the bow post.) 105lbs with the 225x and a full gas tank.
I just solved that concern yesterday with a 125lb tractor wheel weight. I have been looking for one for the last couple Seasons without any luck…until yesterday when I found an “American Pickers” dream Farm, Don the owner had the stuff alright and after about 10min of looking we found this……
It's the same diameter as the spare tire wheel and thick enough to allow the spare to be mounted with just enough room for the for the post to be used to secure the assembly.
Boy what a difference 230lbs of TW makes, no more feeling like I’m towing a Porpoise, very little tongue bounce….smooooth.
