    My shorelander trailer was jack knifed, the tongue is bent slightly, enough that the boat doesn’t want track straight on trailer to the front latch. I can pull and tug on strap and make it work, my question is who can straighten the frame? I live in Maple Grove. It also make me think it’s not tracking true when towing down the road.?

    You can check with Kramer Spring in Inver Grove Heights. They are off of Hwy 110 by the car dealers. If they can’t do anything check with a car frame straightening shop.

    Insurance job for a new trailer is what I would try for. By the time you pay to get it fix you could us that $ towards the deductible and have a new trailer.

    I’ll 2nd this recommendation. They fixed up my trailer brakes for me last summer. They’re likely very busy, though. It took me 6-7 weeks to get in last summer.

    What’s the model # of your trailer, most of the Shoreland’r units have bolted-on tongues, so replacement is pretty easy.
