Will The Fulton Coupler Hinge Kit FHDPB330301 Work With Only 7-3/8" Of Open Space On The Tongue?

Question:

There is 7-3/8” between the back of the coupler and the stabilizing bars on the tongue of my boat trailer. Will the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3 x 3 Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 5,000 lbs Item # FHDPB330301 fit in this area?

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB330301 will work for your trailer, provided the steel on the tongue is between .188" and.120" thick. 7-3/8" will be enough room for the hinge, you will just need to measure and make sure to make you cut near the middle of the open space. This way you will have enough space to secure all 4 bolts on either end of the tongue.
