• Return Spring Hinged License Plate Holder for Boat Trailer
  The Fold Down License Plate Holder # 8802 was designed for use with trailer hitches that go through a roll pan bumper and is not really designed for a boat trailer application. However it could work, but it would only spring out in one direction. A hinged license plate bracket would likely work better on your boat trailer, however, we do not carry those parts.

• Spring Loaded License Plate Frame For Open Snowmobile Trailer Use
  This will function as you mentioned, but only if mounted to the very back of the trailer, not underneath. The springs will hold the frame flat if mounted underneath. You may want to mount the frame upright so that it will flip down when you need to load something, but will flip up and hold with the springs allowing you the additional ground/snow clearance. The only other option I can think of is to custom mount your plate with a hinge. You could use a plate holder like # LP35BB or...

• Can Fold Down License Plate Holder # 8802 be Used with a Rear Mounted Trailer Hitch
  In order to use the fold down license plate holder # 8802 pm a trailer hitch you would have to fabricate something for it to attach to. It is meant to be used on vehicles where the receiver goes through the bumper. Using a holder that actually fits in the receiver such as # 5443 or # C31002 would be the better way to go. Both of these products indicate they are for front mount hitches but they will fit in any 2 inch receiver, front or back.

• Availability of Hitch for 1993 Chevy C/K 3500 Pickup w/ Roll Pan Bumper
  We do indeed offer hitches that are compatible with a 1993 Chevy C/K Series with a roll pan bumper. I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 41522. This hitch is compatible UNLESS your truck has the heavy duty-suspension or is a 4 door crew cab. You'll need to cut a hole in the roll pan behind the license plate for the receiver to pass through the roll pan. A fold-down license plate holder like part # 8802 would make for a neat installation.

• Installation And Operation Of Front Mounted Winch On 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  It does not matter which battery the Superwinch Tiger Shark series winch you mentioned is connected to in your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Diesel. The batteries are run in series so you have better cracking amps, but which battery you connect to won't affect any accessories. I suggest runing the engine while using the winch because the alternator will help give you more power and it will keep your batteries from draining and preventing start-up. For the front receiver, I recommend...
