REMOVABLE TONGUE
The removable tongue option was made available for those with limited
storage space for their boat and trailer. Its design uses 2 hitch pins to
secure the coupler slide assembly to the receiver. Do not, under any
circumstances, tow your trailer without both pins inserted completely
through the slide and receiver.
If your trailer is equipped with brakes, the hydraulic connection is made
behind the winch stand support bar. (Refer to Figure 17 below.) Failure to
make this connection will result in no braking action and could lead to the
brakes locking up due to heat buildup in the closed system. The wiring
harness connection is also made in this area. To remove the coupler,
support the trailer on the swing away jack stand. Disconnect the wire
harness and brake line (if so equipped). Remove the two hitch pins and
slide the coupler forward and out of the receiver.

When installing the coupler, be sure to
install both hitch pins and connect the
brake line and/or the wire harness before towing. Failure to do so could
lead to an accident resulting in injury or death.
