The top of the trailer hitch ball should be aprox 18 to 20 inches off the ground.
The tongue weight of a trailer should typically be around 10-15% of the total weight of the boat and trailer combined. This ensures proper stability and handling during towing, reducing the risk of swaying or fishtailing. Proper tongue weight helps maintain safe towing dynamics and prevents excessive wear on the towing vehicle and trailer. Always refer to the trailer manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.

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.
