My 16 year old son installed it in about 30-45 minutes.
Great product, I can now store my boat in our smaller size garage with room to spare,

Instuctions shows to mount and weld it with the four small pinning lobes on the swing away tongue part rather then the aft trailer tongue. The safety sticker shows it's installed with the two large pinning lobes on the swing away arm. I installed mine to follow the safety sticker rather than the instructions. My hole towing load will be under 1000lbs so I wouldn't think it would matter either way due to the 4 ft swing away is rated 2600 lbs. I can't see any reason why it would change the towing load being mounted either way. Otherwise really happy with the pruduct.
The Fold-Away coupler Hinge worked great on my boat trailer. In a matter of minutes, it was welded on and now my trailer fits perfect in the garage. Ordering service was easy, fast and efficient, receiving my order within 3 business days of placing it.
Good stout looking product wish the tolerance was a little tighter for the bolt and pin it has a small amount of end play. The trailer it is going on will typically be under 3000 lbs so shouldn’t have any issues. Thank you etrailer always great doing business with you folks.
Works well. Nice to be able to have the extra room around the boat when it’s stored for the winter.
I bought the 2x3 weld on tongue hinge for my boat trailer 2 weeks ago as my boat trailer was about 6 inches too long for my garage. I ordered on Wednesday by regular shipping and received it on Friday. The service was great and the price was the best I could find.
Perfect fit. Easy installation. Very pl eased.
The hinge fit the 2x3 tubing perfectly. It is very substantial and more than adequate for my boat trailer. My trailer is too long to fit in my garage and this allows me to fold the tongue so it will fit. The unit arrived on time without damage.
I HAVE BEEN WELDING FOR FOURTY YEARS. THIS IS ONE WELL MADE ADAPTER. GOOD PRICE ALSO.
I just had the hinge installed. From what I can tell it will allow me to use a smaller garage freeing up my other larger garage. To me it's all about quality and functionally. Both appear to come with this hinge.
Exactly what I ordered, good quality product, extremely quick delivery of products
The product is very useful now I can fold my trailer put in the garage
Well constructed product and directions
Worth the money! Heavy duty product!
Very good service. I received my tonge in 2 days from the date I order it.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanky ou!
Excellent value, product very high quality, great shipping and follow up!
nice part.
Review from a similar Fold-Away Hinge Kit in Folding Trailer Tongue
It was extremely easy to install on my 5x8 utility trailer after watching the installation video. My only suggestion is new or quality drill bits. I tried sneaking up on the hole with progressively larger bits but broke two in the process. I ended up using a high quality 1/2" bit. My install did not allow for placing the tongue jack behind the hinge because I wanted maximum swing so I installed the stabilizer jack that etrailer sells to support the trailer when the tongue is swung away. I can now store the trailer more easily in a smaller spot.

This Fulton swing away tongue fit perfectly once I got all the parts. The package was missing the shoulder bolts because the box was damaged in shipping. etrailer got me the bolts quickly. I am pleased with this order.
Review from a similar Fold-Away Hinge Kit in Folding Trailer Tongue
Pretty easy to install if you have the right tools. Boat now fits in garage without needing to be at an angle and in the perfect spot. Picture is before I got the new safety chains and wiring installed. Make sure to get loom to protect the wire at the joint and possibly upgrade wire quality. I went with Wesbar 787268 and a braided wrap.
