[QUOTE="BoneDigger, post: 523624, member: 35681"] I have a 1542 Alweld Jon boat with a steel trailer. The length of the tongue has always been an issue, so I added a swing away joint (Fulton). I added 5-feet to the tongue and now it seems about perfect. I have seen some videos where they recommend running the safety chain back to the original trailer. That's a long chain run and would seem to me to be unsafe if the trailer came uncoupled. Is there any real reason to not just run the chain behind the coupler as usual? It's not like I'm pulling a 25 ft fiberglass center console. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
