[Rhodes22-list] Trailer Tongue Extension Made Easy

[George Morgan]

Graham,

To extend the tongue I attach one end of the come-along to the open rear end of the tongue and the other to some part of the trailer toward the front. My tongue is cut off and doesn’t extend all the way back to the holder on the trailer frame, so attaching the come-along is not a problem. 

To retract the tongue I attach the come-along to my chain near the car and the other end to some part of the trailer.

I was surprised how easily the boat and trailer rolled back and forth with this method and how easy it was to line up the holes. 

Hope that description made sense?
