At this site http://tinyurl.com/aqufy which is sponsored by the state of Illinois they recommend 7 to 10 %. There are also some other interesting towing tips.

  What I find most interesting about this is the trailer tag which states 3150 lb capacity and 200 lb tongue load -- normal rule of thumb is tongue weight = 10% of loaded trailer weight. Even old trailering literature I've read uses the 10% rule, but obviusly Johnson never did....I wonder why? Do any of you who have the Johnson trailers have troubles with fishtailing?
