DHM Trailer Part Needed

It is definitely set up this way from the factory as it's all still factory paint.

That looks the same as mine except without the modification.  Looks like someone came up with an interesting idea.  I doubt it came from DHM like that.

That is an interesting concept....

The DHM for my '99 has the same as what Mark described for the brake line.  It also has a bolt/pin through the main tube that when removed allows you to slide the entire tongue assembly out.

I see this is a pretty old thread but maybe a few of you DHM trailer owners are still on the forum.  I have a '99 SN with a DHM trailer and the tongue looks like it should be removable or swing to a side.  However, I do not see a quick release for the brake line and I would not think you would have to remove the large bolt pictured.  Anyone have any experience with a similar DHM trailer that might know how/if the tongue removes or swings? Any help or clarification most appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

I repaired mine, it is not perfect but insurance paid $400-$500 to fix the trailer and I used that to offset my $1,000 deductible on the boat damage.
I would prefer the swing away front also but I don't think the part you are missing is part of the slide in.
BTW: I tired of the rattles caused by the tilting boat stop so mine is now solid mount and no longer rattles loudly while trailering.
If you need specs to build yours I could do some measurements. It is not technical at all.

Thanks for the replies. I already tried California Trailer Works and their number is disconnected. I'm sure a welding shop could make the same part, or I could fab it myself. I was just hoping for something easier/faster. BKHallpass, I'll try those spots you recommended. Otherwise, I'll start calling welding shops.

If you can't fabricate one yourself, this sure would be the route to go.

Well, I was going to refer you to California Trailer Works. I'm 90% sure that they are the guys who bought all the equipment from DHM. They did some nice work on my trailer axles a few years back. Unfortunately, it looks like they declared bankruptcy.   I think they may have ceased operations.

You might try Shipwreck Marine, in Rancho Cordova, a salvage outfit.
Marine Engine Salvage in Stockton - also has trailers and parts
Once upon a time I knew of three boat/trailer salvage yards in Sac area, but can't recall name and don't know if they are still there.
