But if you need to backup before the fix I think most models have a “Plug” or a kind of key made to put in place so the tongue does not compress when you back up.

But there are so many lakes large and small full of bass that you can find a lake to fish from Harris chain , Toho, stick marsh and just look at a map of all the smaller lakes! You will regret not bringing a boat!

I am with you! I don’t know about the 19″ to top, but while the vehicle and trailer is on a flat road make sure your trailer is at least level or slightly rising to the hitch. Past that, it is all about finding the sweet spot on the ramp depth.
