RE: TRAILER TOUNGE WEIGHT
Your trailer tongue weight should be between 10% and 15% of your gross trailer weight, including boat trailer and gear. Any lighter you get trailer sway which can get you killed, any more you are over exerting your trailer tongue, jack and tow vehicle attachment points. You don't want you trailer bunks sticking out past the transom, you just break off tranducers an damage trim tabs when not paying attention.
PS your transducer should be mounted atleast 3" past the outer edge of your propeller.
