Extended drawbars. What are you using for the hinge?

[Lovey80]

Funny you mention it, I have seen the transport guys writing tickets for the locals tractors and extended drawbars at waddy about 10 years ago. I have never bothered.

Just for backing into the surf to launch the boat without lights?

They had a sting on the beach. Got everybody. As you can imagine they were pretty popular. Guys drag their boats out of the exclusion zone to clean their catch up near ocean lakes camping area. Nobody puts their drawbars away. I'm as guilty as anybody. I've seen them at inskip a couple of times since but not up the island again.

Progress is being made. A big of extra bracing and it's done.

We've used the old style jockey wheel mounts before too. The removable style, not swing away. Just weld a bit of gal pipe on and a few beads of weld so it can't slide up or down in the bracket.

The beauty of a hinged one is that it stores the bar for you too.

Why hinge a drawbar?
Why not telescopic?
Can be pinned no differently to your hayman reece style towbars.

Old school break and tilt trailer. Telescopic means the break and tilt can't be used unless the extension is extended. With a hinged drawbar break and tilt works at all times.
