    I think most trailer setups are similar regardless of the type of boat your towing. You want a certain percentage of weight on the tongue depending on the trailer/tow vehicle setup.

    This link has some examples.

    The trailer balance is just a job of moving the axles backward or forward. A lor of trailers mount the springs on angle iron so that the balance can be adjusted.

    Cats are no different than any other boat in that area.
