Temporarily Mounting Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack/Trailer Mover on Hinged Trailer Tongue
Question:
I have the above valet and use it fine on a 63 airstream 19 footer. I was letting a neighbor use it before he bought one. He has a 17 ft Boston Whaler sitting on a slight incline. The trailer has a swivel fold away tongue. The only place to mount the valet it is on that swivel tongue. It is connected with one grade 8 bolt and a grade 8 pin that is removed to allow it to swivel. If we remove the pin and temporally install another grade 8 bolt same size, can we mount the valet to the tongue? Dont know it the swivel points can stand the lifting by the valet. Any suggestions?

Expert Reply:
Since it seems that you're just speaking about a temporary installation so your neighbor can check out the
# STC-V211 Trailer Valet, mounting the trailer mover/jack as you describe would be fine, however if your neighbor decides to purchase a Trailer Valet in the future, he wouldn't want to mount the jack forward of the hinge because it will interfere with folding the trailer tongue.
