OK, I have corresponded with two other P15 owners with Garges trailers,
and they both have indicated that moving the winch mast back from the
"stock" position will reduce the tongue weight to a more reasonable
70-80lbs. My winch mast is in the "stock" position right now, which is
almost exactly 8" from the rear edge of the coupler to the leading edge
of the winch mast where it attaches to the tongue. So, I need to move
it back at least 13" from where it is now. Any other Garges gang
members who can affirm this?
