HITCH BALL AND TRAILER COUPLER
Most boat trailers have a coupler that
connects to a hitch ball attached to the
towing vehicle’s hitch. The trailer hitch
coupler must always match the size of the
hitch ball. The correct hitch ball diameter
for the coupler is usually marked on the
trailer coupler.
Control Hazard:
Never use a hitch ball size or rating
that does not match the trailer coupler
specifications. Using an improper size
or rated hitch ball can lead to loss of
control of the trailer and/or vehicle.
