The hitch on my trailer (ez-loader single axle)takes two people to lift. The boat is a 16' Boston Whaler Dauntless that weighs around 2200 lbs loaded. Does anyone know approximately what the hitch weight should be?
Hello, Perry.<br /><br />I believe that 7-10% is standard. That would be 150 to 220lb.<br /><br />Your tow vehicle needs to be rated for towing not less than 2500lb and for 300lb on the hitch.<br /><br />A bathroom scale under your jack should give you a good indication of tongue weight. <br /><br />Good luck.
