I have an approx 27ft long tandem axle boat trailer and i'm thinking on some mods and would like opinions.
1) the drop leg jack is fairly close to the coupler. I was thinking of relocating it back a couple feet, inside the "A" part of the frame.
2) the spare/mount is on the outside of the A-frame. I think it might better to have it located on center, just behind the A-frame, and on its side instead of upright.
My reasoning for doing this is to add a water-tight enclosure to the breakaway and hydraulic powerpack, which would be submerged at launch w/o protection. I'm also contemplating a coupler extension for use on ramps not steep enough to keep my truck's rear end out of the water.
If my drop leg jack has ~800lbs on it where it is now, about how much will this change if its moved a couple feet further back?
