Weld-on mounting creates a clean look, and the unique offset design guarantees superior performance.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. 175974
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. 22253
Works well. Nice to be able to have the extra room around the boat when it’s stored for the winter. 856894
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. 672389

Very easy to install, I bought my boat in 1990, I wish I had installed the unit 20 years ago. 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, 5-***** 367666

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. 69287

Review from a similar Fold-Away Hinge Kit in Folding Trailer Tongue
The Fulton Fold-Away Hinge Kit Folding Tongue which I purchased for my pontoon boat trailer was recommended by a local trailer supplier. My trailer tongue was three feet too long to fit into the storage unit I used for the trailer and I needed a way to shorten the trailer without making major changes. The Hinge Kit was the answer and the only difficult part was cutting the steel trailer tongue so that I could attach the hinge. I was very impressed with the kit and the way the instructions led me step by step with the installation. The job took about four hours and the finished product allowed me to fold back the tongue once the trailer was in the storage unit without any difficulty. 693140

My son purchased this product which I installed on my EZ Loader trailer. Took a few hours but I like a project. Its been great, allowing me to easily park my boat in the garage with room to spare. Just wish I had installed it earlier. When I installed, I also replaced my brakes (the entire brake plate, etc), bled the brake line and installed the flex line needed for the swing. Got all the accessories from etrailer. Great service and just recently ordered some lights as well. 521277

Good solid product for people who need it.. To bad you lose almost half the carry capacity by shorting the tongue... 639771
Review from a similar Fold-Away Hinge Kit in Folding Trailer Tongue
This is the second Fulton swing tongue I have installed on a boat trailer. I installed one on a 3x3 tongue about 10 yrs ago and have towed that boat between MI and FL each year with no issues. Installed the 3x5 model on a new boat trailer 2 days ago. This trailer tongue was much thicker steel and was more difficult to cut and drill. The only issue encountered was the corners of the interior channel of tongue were slightly rounded. The holes for the bolts were close to sides of tongue and nuts with built in washers did not want to seat flat against steel due to that. This was fixed by grinding off the washer part of nut on one side and putting that part against the tongue sidewall. It was just a little more work. They tongue hinges are great to enable you to put your boat on the garage and still walk around it. Highly recommended! 558541
Review from a similar Fold-Away Hinge Kit in Folding Trailer Tongue
This is a great product! Very well made, easy to install, and the convenience of folding the tongue out of the way is by far it’s greatest selling point. The hinge was designed to be stronger than the tube itself, and it truly is. I have absolutely no fear of it failing. My only regret is that I don’t own the patent on this product. 572113
