Answer:

The answer to the question: TP-5 boat trailers with too little tongue weight tend to do, what?, would be, that they tend to fishtail, or swing side-to-side, when there is too little tongue weight.

Explanation:

The tongue weight is defined as the pressure, or the weight, that is placed on the towing hitch by the combined weights of the vessel that is being toad and the loaded trailer that is being used to transport the vessel itself. In essence, the correct tongue weight should be about 10% of the total weight between the vessel and the trailer, and when this pressure is too small, trailers, and their cargo, tend to swing side to side, or what is known as, fishtail. This is why owners need to ensure that the tongue weight is always right, to prevent accidents.
