[QUOTE="FishinsMyLife, post: 267334, member: 95"] I have a 1542 SeaArk with a 25 Mercury 4 stroke on a 5.5" setback jackplate on the transom. When I got the motor mounted and was sitting on the back bench, the boat (trailer and all) started to tip back. I ran to the front of the boat and kept the motor from meeting concrete. I had a battery sitting on the front deck today right after I just put a full fuel tank in the back. I wasn't taking the battery to the river with me, but when I lifted that off the boat (while standing outside of it) the boat started tipping back again. I grabbed it and latched it to my trailer hitch and all was well.. Anyone encountered this situation? Short of setting a cinder block on the trailer tongue when the trailer is unhitched, is there much I can do? [/QUOTE]
