Skeeter swing away tongue warning must read.

[Jamie]

Just some info about my trailer that I thought I should pass on. I bought a 2007 20i a couple months ago. Had the boat at the dealer fixing a couple small problems. Went today to pick the boat up and when I went to hook it up noticed the pin for the swing away tongue the one that stays in place with the grease fitting in it had fallen down. Apears the flat washer in the top part of the pin broke and the head of the pin is smaller than the hole that goes thru the trailer frame allowing it to fall thru the frame. Showed it to the guy at the dealership and we went around to several different trailers and some had the same pin(with flat washer) but some had a pin with a big head(no flat washer) on them. He replaced it with a new pin(no flat washer) that has a bigger head. So what I'm saying if you have a swing away tongue trailer and the pin that comes thru the trailer frame has a flat washer on the top part get that thing replaced with a different pin. I can only imagine what that thing would have done if I would have made it to the interstate before it came out.

The trailer company (not Skeeter) had a recall on this item. I received a replacement washer and pin earlier this summer to replace. I would have thought that everyone involved would have been taken care of by now.

I received a replacement bolt and washer from the trailer company in the summer

I believe the trailer company sent this recal to all registered I-Class owners that were affected. Call your dealer to be sure you are registered and I'm sure they can get what you need.

Mine came unsolicited in the summer as well. This is definitely a safety issue recall so you'd think they'd be more diligent about contacting everybody.

i received one in the mail i guess under a recall on my new 07, ZX200, a bigger pin and washer, and it noted the problems that has been occuring

Good to hear that there is a recall but my dealer didn't have a clue and several trailers on his yard still had the small pin in them. He said he was going to have them changed. Just thought that might save someone a problem down the road.
