The tongue weight rating does not include the weight of the hitch. The weight of the hitch will be part of the total amount of weight on the back of the vehicle.

The tongue of the trailer presses down on the trailer hitch, and that is tongue weight. How hard it presses down is a function of the weight in front of the trailer wheels, and how much of the weight is not offset by the weight behind the wheels. If the tongue weight is too great, the rear of the towing vehicle goes down. Too light, and the boat trailer will swing side to side.

Too little tongue weight can lead to an out of control swaying condition causing the tow vehicle and trailer to fishtail, leave the road, overturn, or hit other vehicles on the road. The ideal tongue weight is 9 to 15 percent of the gross weight of the entire trailer.

Between 9 and 15%. The tongue weight should also not exceed the tow vehicle's tongue weight rating - excessive tongue weight creates a very unstable and dangerous combination. Ever see vehicles with trailers in tow which have the rear end leaning way down towards the road? Most people are clueless as to how dangerous those are.

As a cavity, the mouth has no true weight, though the jaw/skull and tissue would have some weight. But to separate that from the weight of the skull itself would be difficult if not impossible!

Fuel has weight. Depending on the location of the tanks, it can shift the balance of weight, increasing or decreasing how hard the tongue of the trailer presses on the hitch. Too far in either direction could make it unsafe to tow the boat/trailer.

The owner's manual says the maximun trailer and tow weight should not exceed 1,000 lbs, and the tongue weight (weight put on the trailer ball) should be 10% or less of the total tow weight. So if you are towing 500lbs, you should not have more than 50lbs put on the towing tongue.

If the trailer is properly balanced, the tongue weight should be 10% of the combined total weight.
Most boat trailers are not properly balanced. You have to check the balance. If you know the total weight, you can lay the trailer tongue onto a bathroom scale. You will likely find you need to shift the contents of the boat to get close to 10%. There are alternate techniques for boats too heavy for the bathroom scale (boats / trailers over 3,000 pounds).
