Can someone please help me with this question.
The pin that holds the swing tongue to the boat is rising up all the way where the keeper pin is against the trailer.
I had one of the pins snap into and had to replace.
Ranger dealer wasn’t concerned - happens all the time - that why we have replacement pins.
Appreciate your thoughts - I may be worrying too much !
Thanks

Never owned a Ranger trailer but I have had many with a swing or detachable tongue and that sure doesn't sound right ( I've never experienced it).
If the replacement pin is the correct diameter then it sounds to me like the pin hole may be elongated from wear or possibly it was drilled to the wrong size from MFG.
