• Route the wires through the bottom hole provided in the swing
hinge plate and out the rear of the tongue. Place the wires
through the hole provided in the tongue cap.
• Reconnect the tongue harness to the frame harnesses. Push
the excess wire back into the tongue.
• Align the hole in the rear of the tongue, the tongue channel and
the tongue cover. Secure with the ½” x 1 ½” hex bolt and flange
lock nut removed earlier. Tighten the bolt just installed plus the
cross bolt installed earlier.
• Re-attach the safety chains using the hardware removed from
the old tongue.
• Place the coupler on the new swing tongue, align the holes and
secure with the bolts and flange lock nuts removed from the old
tongue.
• Tighten all of the bolts not tightened at this time.
• Assembly is complete.
• Position the winch post assembly on the new swing tongue so
it matches the distance from the frame tongue channel it was
mounted on the old tongue. Secure in place using the bolts re-
moved earlier.
• Place the boat on the trailer. Winch the boat into the winch post
bow roller and check for proper winch post adjustment.
• If satisfactory, assembly is complete.
CAUTION:
Always check the tongue wire harness as you swing the
tongue back into the towing position to prevent the wires
from getting pinched and/or cut in the hinge area.
