on the water

   salty is correct you need to move the winch stand forward a bit to balance the rig. i dont know about the 150 lb tongue weight. mine rides just fine and i think it cant be over a hundred or so as i can pick it up waist high to move the boat about in my garage. ill weigh it and let you know for sure. .............nies answer is if you
don't have enough weight on the ball/car the trailer will sway back and forth, moving the boat forward enough to put more weight on car will make the boat pull without swaying . Move the boat about 4 inches at a time until boat pulls straight, on my compac16  the tongue weight is about 70 lbs, of course every one is a little different depending on how much STUFF is in the boat, putting excess weight on the tongue is just busting your gut........nies

I had the same problem with very little tongue weight when I bought my 16. When I added a motor mount to the front of my trailer to transport the small 5hp outboard, it solved two problems. Enjoyed the video and the background music.

Just an old home video, but it shows my little fleet over the years.  Amazing that the little girl in the kayak is the same one who took the helm on the compac.

FYI.  I am recovering quickly and looking forward to some SAILING 

Got my son to move the winch forward a bit.   Did the trick.  tongue weight seems perfect now.
