Tongue Extension - Deployment was [Rhodes22-list] Trailer Jac ks

[Richard and Sherry Day]

Joe,
  I have an older trailer that has a permanent ball hitch tongue and an
extendable tongue positioned next to it.  I too, leave my boat on the
trailer with aprox. same distance to ramp.  I have always used the extension
tongue to proceed to ramp.  Creeping along slowly I feel comfortable with it
holding up in it's stretched out position.  Richard Day

I've been waiting for this discussion.  There must be a way to drive the
extension out.  I like Alex's stop idea.  I keep Whisper on her trailer
about 100 yards from the ramp.  When I get there, I hitch her up and head to
the ramp.  Now in line, I have to take the time to disconnect the hitch,
pull out the tongue and re-connect the hitch.

Roger, can the trailer handle the stress of moving 100 yards with the tongue
extended?  It sure would make the ramp go much quicker.
