• Option For Replacing Swing-Away Actuator On A 2005 Mastercraft Boat Trailer
  We do have a potential solution for you. Unfortunately, the swing away actuators like the one on your 2005 Mastercraft trailer have been discontinued, so I am afraid there is no direct replacement, or anything that will fit inside the current swing away. At this point we would have to recommend replacing the tongue of the trailer entirely, all the way down to the swing away. For a replacement option I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR. This has...

• Can Fulton FHDPB340301 Fold Away Coupler Hinge Kit Be Welded Instead of Bolted
  I checked with my contact in the Tech services department at Fulton, who tells me that it is indeed acceptable to install the # FHDPB340301 fold-away coupler hinge by welding instead of bolting. If your trailer tongue is galvanized, be sure to install it in a well ventilated area as welding on galvanized metal can give off toxic fumes. I've linked you to a product description video for the # FHDPB340301 fold-away hinge.

• How To Make Boat Trailer Tongue Shorter To Fit In A Garage
  I would be happy to help! Personally I would go with the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 4" Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 7,000 lbs # FHDPB340301 since you are only adding 12" of pivot length. At that length you will still have the full weight rating of the coupler so it will be plenty strong for your trailer, but will also allow you to make the trailer as short as possible to fit in your garage or any other tight places. While using the Brophy Ball Mount # BM20 and installing...
