I would guess less than 10 maybe 8. You don't have to move it very far to slap the dog to clutch. But if you're needing to know I can put an angle finder on it for you and let you know the exact movement.

Thought about a small lock, but if someone really wants to take the time to remove the hitch pin and mess with it.... then I probably got bigger problems. Plus I lose keys; and I like the convenience of everything accessible up front and ready for service, kind of a no frills deal.... just business.
