I always have to fold the tongue back so I can fit the boat in my garage but make sure the wires are clear of the hole before inserting the pin. Ive learned to wait until the trailer is on my hitch before inserting the center pin also as itll just fall right in and I know that the wires are clear. If its just supported by the jack the center pin is harder to get in. I make sure to avoid severing the wires with the pin.
