Trailer set-up

[eggsuckindog]

I just want to make clear how important trailer set up is. My last boat was a 17 CC and seemed to pull very heavy on my Intrepid, moved it back 2 inches and made a world of difference as it had too much tongue weight.

My current 20 MA pulled by an Expedition has always pulled fine, although going over concrete slabs used on I States seemed to have sort of a pull back jerky feeling, of course I hadn't thought of it in 4 yrs and lots of miles.

Moved it forward 1 - yes 1", it lost all that jerky stuff on the slabs and according to the trucks computer actually picked up 2 MPG

Single axle trailers are very sensitive to weight distribution hence my 1". Tandom not so much and hitch hight makes a difference also.
