tongue weight
What should my trailer tongue weight be - dual axel trailer - 1996 V20 and 115 hp Evin.? Is it max 5% of outfit weight? I think the outfit maybe weighs 4000? So 200 lb max?

Re: tongue weight
So would my 1996 V20 and 115 DI evinrude dual axel trailer weigh 4000 lb or would it be lighter? If it is 4000 I am looking at 400 lb - seems heavy for TW? I know the way she is she seems to weigh down the springs on my 1985 Chev K10 4x4 truck? I thought I had too much tongue weight? When I come to florida she will be behind a truck/camper - the truck is a 1989 ford F250 with 1 ton under gear (was built for 5th wheel) 460 motor. Lots of power and heavy springs. I was looking at getting a 5000 lb hitch like a reese. No hitch at present.

Re: tongue weight
That truck is pleanty!! I have a 1500 Chevey and it tows like nothing there.
The boat is about 2500 + 400 motor 1000 trailer, 65 gal gas 500 = 4400 # plus gear. so 10% 440 tounge weight. That truck is all you need, if the springs are weak you may need to add a leaf or something??
