It sounds like you are referring to the security bolt which is part 21b in the attached diagram. The security bolt was designed to keep the Trailer Valet part # STC-V211 in place when the device is rotated to the stow position, and as an extra safety precaution to prevent theft. It does not inhibit the device from being used properly. If you plan to remove the Trailer Valet after every use then you have the option of not installing the bolt and keeping it somewhere safe. Should you choose to install the safety bolt you will want to take a look at the 3:00 mark in the attached video.

You would have to mount the Trailer Valet #STC-V211 as far forward on the trailer tongue to be able to turn the jack handle without hitting the boat. Since the trailer valet sticks out further than a traditional jack you should not have a problem.

The pin that is used on the swivel for the clamp-on bracket is 5/8 inch diameter. I spoke with my contact at Trailer Valet, and they said that they could not recommend altering the way it is mounted for use.

What you need is a little bit of momentum to get the boat trailer over the lip of your garage floor. If you can get the trailer moving at a decent speed (while still maintaining control), the momentum of the trailer will carry it over the lip.
