The only problem is the holes don't quite line up. (Probably why it wasn't in those holes in the first place) I think by backing the hitch in 8 more inches I could reduce the tongue weight a bit, and my turning radius as well. (I'll attach a driveway pic and you'll see how long the tongue is.) However, I'd have to hog out a hole with a dremel or drill. Will this remove the galvanised surface and lead to rust? I'd like to avoid that. I know of an O'day 19 that's rusty trailer causes it's owner nightmares! Thanks to this board in advance for any assistance! Mitch
