Shame i missed this thread, i like to design things aswell.

I have these if they are any good to you for more movement all around .

i go them for a car i was building years ago for the top strut adjustment.

no use to me i dont think now.

Many thanks for the kind offer but It is all finished now and I am quite pleased with the end result

Here it is all finished. It is important to make the ball that is used when stored for motoring adjustable as it needs to be so to get it spot on so the hitch fits over it well.

If I were going on a long journey and did not need the extension bar at the other end because I knew the slip it can be removed by undoing just one bolt.

I think the first couple of times I use it I will have a safety rope between the boat trailer and car just in case something lets go

That's not a bad idea anyway, done 24/7 at our park and ride, one for the boat and one for the trailer

Works well

I tried the tow bar extension for the first time today (been using other boats) and I am quite pleased launched and recovered all ok on my own. In the pic the jockey wheel is down but it was up in use

You have reminded me..when I had this set jp from SBS a sudden change in slope can mean the boat-trailer suddenly over balances backwards...anyway..after that I only used it on a constant slope...!!
