There are many things that can make a trailer sway,
Too lower tow hitch on the vehicle,weight distribution on the trailer,tyre preasures,axle alignment and a whole host of other things
Put up a pic of your boat and car hooked together

Probably not enough weight on the tow ball.

It's normally caused by having too much weight at the ass end of the trailer, did this recently with a dingo and not fun. Had to stop and reposition it on trailer
