Features to know about

Rust-Free Durability: Stainless Steel Construction

Tired of hitch balls that rust over time, especially in moist environments? Meet the Brophy 2" Hitch Ball, crafted entirely from polished stainless steel. It not only resists rust and corrosion but also maintains an attractive, polished appearance that stands out. It's perfect for saltwater applications and ensures your towing setup stays looking sharp.

Perfect Fit for Smooth Towing: 1-Inch Diameter Shank

Finding the right fit for your hitch can be a puzzle, but the Brophy hitch ball simplifies this with its 1-inch diameter shank. This size is standard for numerous ball mounts, making it a versatile addition to your towing gear. Rest assured, it provides a snug fit for solid, secure connections every time.

Handle the Load with Confidence: 7,500 lbs Capacity

Worried about hitch ball strength for your trailer's weight? This hitch ball comes with a reliable 7,500 lbs gross towing weight (GTW) capacity. It's built to handle robust towing needs, providing peace of mind on the road whether you're towing a boat, camper, or utility trailer.

Effortless and Secure Installation: Wrench Flats for Easy Mounting

Struggling with tricky installations? The wrench flats on the hitch ball shank make holding it in place a breeze during installation. This feature ensures that you can securely fasten the ball without the hassle, using just a couple of crescent wrenches.

Stable Connections with Precision Threads: Fine Thread Pitch

Concerned about maintaining a tight grip? The Brophy hitch ball features fine threads at 14 threads per inch. This precision thread pitch delivers a tight, robust grip that minimizes the risk of loosened connections over time—ideal for frequent towing needs.

Advanced Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-Plated Nut and Washer

While the nut and washer aren't stainless, they come zinc-plated to ward off corrosion effectively. This detail is crucial for those who want their towing accessories to perform well without worry over time. Just be aware if you're in saltwater environments—additional care might be needed to prevent any potential interactions.

Video Transcript for Hands-On with the 2" Hitch Ball-SC23-C

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Brophy Chrome-Plated Two Inch Hitch Ball. Our two inch ball here, looks nice and sharp, and also we have a one inch shank hole, so the diameter of the shank will fit perfectly on this Brophy hitch mount. We also have a shank length of 2-1/8 inches. Now it is chrome, so it is gonna resist that elements of towing and the rust and corrosion that can build up. Now, if you want to put a little grease over here, that's just gonna add a little bit more protection, keeping this chrome nice and shiny. And this is gonna work great with any ball mount that has a one inch diameter shank opening.

Now, I really do like the way this looks with the aluminum Brophy. Having them kind of matching, just kind of gives it that little extra nice look to it. Installation is gonna be extremely easy. We can simply remove the nut. We have a lock washer there, and we'll just put that in place.

And you can actually, you have spots here to put your wrench on top, and then when you tighten this down, you're gonna want to use a 1/2 inch torque wrench and adjust that torque to the specifications in the manufacturer's recommendations. Now, the only thing left to do is hook up to your trailer, cross up your safety chains here, plug in your wiring, and you can drop it in place and hit the road. You should have no problem pulling a boat or even a large camper, assuming that your coupler is two inch ball rated. And that was a look at the Brophy two inch hitch ball..

  • Does the Brophy Stainless Steel Hitch Ball SC23-C Come with Stainless Steel Nut and Washer
    I spoke with my contact over at Brophy about stainless steel hitch ball # SC23-C and found out that the included nut and washer are not stainless steel but do have a zinc plating. This is common for stainless steel balls. The hardware used to secure the ball isn't stainless.

  • Troubleshooting a Hitch Ball that is not Securing When Lowering a Trailer Coupler
    There could be a couple reasons this could be happening. One being the hitch ball could be over-sized but I seem to think tightening the lock nut under the wedge will eliminate the need for you to manipulate your hitch ball into the secured position. To tighten the lock nut, make sure hitch ball is removed, and then push the wedge into the coupler and tighten the lock nut as needed. You may do this a few times until you get to your specifications. You could certainly get the hitch ball...

  • Hitch Adapter to Tow Trailer and use Bike Rack
    There is an option for you, though the part you asked about is not for use with trailers. Instead, I recommend the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210. This will give you a ball mount for use when towing your trailer, and a receiver above it which you can use for your bike rack. You can secure it to your Sienna's hitch with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 or Pin and Clip # PC3. For a hitch ball, depending on the size...

  • Is Aluminum Ball Mount Compatible With Stainless Steel Hitch Ball For 2 Inch Hitch
    Yes, you can absolutely use an aluminum ball mount with a stainless steel hitch ball without worry of the ball mount corroding. In fact, there are no aluminum hitch balls so manufacturers suggest the use of stainless steel as it is going to be the best option work in conjunction with an aluminum ball mount. So what you will need depends on the rise or drop your trailer requires: - 1" Rise, 2" Drop: Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # C74WR - 3" Rise, 4" Drop: Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches...

    There are a couple of really good options for a 2" hitch ball and hitch lock to resist corrosion with the 8,000 lb capacity Andersen Alumistinger Ball Mount for 2" Hitch - 1" Rise, 2" Drop # AM3503.

  • Hitch & Ball Mount for 2002 Jeep Wrangler to Clear Spare Tire
    You can avoid clearance issues between your 2002 Jeep Wrangler's rear-mounted spare tire and your towing ball mount by using a ball mount long enough that will extend past the rear edge of the tire. The 2-inch hitch I suggest for your 2002 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is Curt # 13408. This is a no-drill bolt-on installation. When we installed a Class III hitch on your vehicle we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole to the rear of the spare tire was 6-1/4-inches. Once it is installed...

  • What Hitch Ball Size For 2023 Lance 1475 Travel Trailer
    Hey Mike, The hitch ball size should match the trailer's coupler, and per Lance, your 2023 Lance 1475 travel trailer uses a 2" hitch ball. So you'll just want to match the diameter of the hitch ball's shank to that of your ball mount. For example, if your ball mount has a 1-1/4" diameter hitch ball hole you could use the 2" Hitch Ball # CB26C, or if it has a 1" diameter hole you could use the 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C. You could also use a ball mount that has a 2" ball already installed,...

This mount has an 8,000 lb capacity which is more than enough for the large majority of towing needs. For a hitch ball you will need either the 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C or 2-5/16" Hitch Ball # SC30-C.

    For a 2010 Honda Pilot, you would use T-One Wiring harness, part # 118491. There is no cutting or splicing involved, it just connects to the factory tail light connectors. With exposure to salt-water, I would stick with aluminum or stainless steel for your other products as they will hold up the best.
