Hi
I'm currently modifying a Jetski trailer. It is going to be double deck to transport a TI and a large fishing kayak.
Originally I extended the drawbar so the front of the kayak to the axle would be 3 metres. However now that I am looking to extend the rear of the trailer I realise that my tongue weight ( I've always called it "ball weight" ;-D ) is going to be too light. (There is more steel being added at the rear than the front because of the trailer design) so I need to build a new draw bar extension. Rather than stuffing it up a second time I thought I should ask for some advice.
Can someone give me the measurement from the axle to the front or rear of the kayak that will give a reasonable tongue weight? I'm thinking that the centre of the kayak should be around 1 to 1.5 metres (3 to 5 feet) in front of the axle for correct balance.
Thanks
Brad
