Is there a formula for moving the axles forward on a trailer to gain proper tongue weight? My tongue weight now is 215 after moving the boat back on the bunks three inches. I posted a previous thread about the set up and got good responses but I would like to know what tongue weight I will eliminate for every inch I move the axle forward on the trailer. I only can move the axle forward no more than 6 inches. I am figuring that the boat and motor and gear weight is no more than 1000 pounds. Boat's weight is 704 lbs. and Motor weight is 214 lbs so I give 80 lbs for fuel and anchor and life vests and battery. The boat and motor can't weight any more than 1100lbs and that is giving some. Thanks in advance for all responses. The information here is just to the point, lost of knowledgeable people. Glad to be a member. bob
