- Welcome To HSU! Today's class is how to make your trailer fit in the garage by installing a trailer tongue hinge or swing. The 3x3 Swingaway bolt on hinge is rated for 6500 lbs and is currently being engineered as a FULTON Fold-Away competitor. Stay tuned for the update I give after a few trips! Post your questions and thoughts on the install in the comments.#Fulton #Fold-Away #HowTo
Excellent job. Very Professional 💯💪🏾
Thank you bro! Glad you enjoyed 🤙🏾
Good job.. Need to do this for a Pop-up Camper
Thanks! Glad you could see how it's done!
Loved it! Great job!!
Heck yea bro! Thanks 🤙🏾🎣
THEM WIRES DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE, thanks for sharing!
🤣🤣🤣 they were sacrificed for the greater good 😅🤙🏾🎣
Well done!
Thanks bro!
Started off a little rocky there but way to finish strong 😹😹
Lol!!! This is to show everyone that things don’t always go as planned but the end result is all that matters 🤣🤙🏾🙌🏾
What length is your garage? I have a 16ft Carolina Skiff and I’m thinking about doing my tongue like this. My garage measures 20ft perfectly. I think your boat is longer than mine.
My garage is around 20-21 feet. Motor is straight up and down. Most important factor in this install is the trailer setup and tongue length. Our boat is 16.5’
@@AdVentureBro my boat is 16’2 and I swear your lay out looks way more spacious. I have more casting deck space. Where did you order the coupler?
I ordered it from Ken who runs HitchShops.com
Tell him you saw my installation video!
Good video to show an install, sorta. But jeez. Why wouldn’t you clean down and throughly prime/ cold galvanize the bare steel where you drilled and cut it! No anti seize on bolts either… and one coat on this bare steel hinge… give it a minimum of 3!!!
This is a recipe for rusting, corrosion and galvanic reaction between metal types. Not exactly what you want at the most critical weak point on a trailer.
It never rusted years later
@@AdVentureBro I see. You have admitted it could do with a re-coat so it’s obviously looking shabby already… have you removed the bolts to check them / where the coupling is in contact with the trailer frame? Unlikely.
I’ve never seen a boat trailer used around salt water that doesn’t corrode. There’s good reason they hot dip galvanize trailers and or use aluminum framing to avoid corrosion. Moving forward, I would hope you could agree, for anyone watching, it would have been best practice to coat it at least twice with a primer/ undercoat and top coat. And clean and coat all the exposed raw metal where it’s cut and drilled.
People do rush jobs like this and then sell their problems on 5 years later. A can of spray paint would be $5, anti seize/duralac costs nothing. I’ve worked in mobile equipment for a chunk of my life, sorry to critical, but this sort of DIY shortcut, gives me the shits (worse when it’s made into a “tutorial”.) It’s not an issue until it is. (Especially for people who have their boat stored outside, or closer to the ocean/ salt spray/ use their boat very regularly)… Ultimately, people eventually upgrade and sell their poor workmanship onto others.
To be blunt, there is nowhere in the marine/ automotive/ trailer/ steel fabrication world, that would find cutting the protective coating off piece of steel and leaving it bare acceptable.
Sorry to be a dick. This is just a comment for others looking to replicate the install. Do it right so your trailer doesn’t fall off in 9 years time and hit someone on the highway.
Bro, loved it. Howbisnit holding up corrosion wise? This is almost how most things go. Gonna do this soon on galvanized trailer as well. I have used Diablo blades for steel and they quick. Thanks again.
It’s holding up pretty well surprisingly. Should prolly recoat it but it’s not bad at all 🤙🏾
Im glad you enjoyed 🎣
