    Default Swing away tongue

    I just realized that this was available and would solve my problem with storing whatever boat I buy inside the garage.
    I did a search and found a good thread, but all the pictures were missing so not a lot of help.
    I know there are a lot of different kinds of setups, some with integrated brake linkage and such, but what I really want to know is:

    Are they safe?

    Where the heck do you cut?

    What boat I buy depends on if I can get it in the garage or not, so this would really be a big help in making a decision.

    thanks again guys...gary

    safe - Yes.

    where to cut - Depends on the trailer.

    I actually used one to make my trailer longer by 34".

    Yep, definitely safe. Thinking about adding one to my trailer too to get more room in the garage.
