Swing Away Hinge Kit Recommendation for Boat Trailer
Question:
Hello I have a steel boat trailer that has the three steel pieces rails? that come together to one? I need to cut it off just below the nose of the boat where the three are. Is there a bolt on kit to join these, and have a swing away tongue?

Helpful Expert Reply:
It sounds like you have a standard pole tongue trailer and are looking for a swing away hinge kit.
We offer a few of these kits that are designed to fit several frame sizes. The part # FHDPB350101 will work if you have a 3 by 5 inch trailer tongue, part # FHDPB330301 will fit 3 x 3 and the part # FHDPB230101 will fit 2 x 3.
You will need to measure your trailer tongue so that you can pick out the correct kit.
I attached an install video that shows how a kit like this will install.
