Today were going to review part number EBMK4, this is the Etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2-inch hitch receivers. This ball mount kit will include one ball mount, it will include a pin and a clip; it will include Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball System that comes with a 1 7/8-inch hitch ball head and a 2-inch hitch ball head. It will also the Etrailer.com ball mount bag.This kit will be nice to use when youre going to be towing multiple trailers that might have a different coupler size on them.Im going to start with the ball mount. Basically the part number is 2753. And this ball mount will have a 2 -inch rise or a 4-inch drop depending on how you use it. What Im going to do is measure it for you and give you an idea.
This is in the drop position so the measurement would be here to here; the top of this to the top of where the ball sits. So if we put a tape on that, it would measure 4-inch drop. Now if we put a tape on that, it would measure 4-inch drop. Now if you put it in the other way, that will give you a 2 -inch rise which is measured from here to here. So if we measure that it would be 2 of an inch.
Now this ball mount does have a gross towing weight capacity of 6,000 and has a tongue weight capacity of 600 pounds. It also comes with part number PC3 which is a 5/8-inch diameter pin and the clip that would be used to attach the ball mount to the hitch receiver. This would slide into your hitch receiver, you line the holes up, run your pin through, put the clip on; that will keep your ball mount inserted into your hitch receiver.Next item is the converti-ball interchangeable ball system and what that would be is this would mount onto the ball mount using the included washer and nut. The size of this nut is 1 inches. That would tighten down to your ball mount and notice theres a hole through it, you would slide the cotter in through that hole, spread it apart and that would be a safety feature in case that nut happen to back off and keep it from falling off the shank.
Now this shank with the ball attached will have a gross tongue weight capacity of 10,000 pounds. And Im going to give you a few dimensions on the shank. The diameter of the shank which is right here will 1 inch. The length which is from here to here will measure 2 inches. And then this would be, its stamped on top, is the 1 7/8 hitch ball diameter size and this stamped on top would be 2-inch diameter hitch ball size.
And basically the way this would be installed, this has an integrated pin in the ball which what you would do is find the side that has a dimple on it and just push that side and it will allow you to pull this pin all the way out and what youll do is line it up to the shank the hole in the shank push your pin all the way through until its flush and then youll have a 1 7/8-inch hitch ball on your shank. Now if you end up having to tow a different trailer with a larger hitch ball size like a 2-inch, you just remove that, take the 2-inch one, push on the side with the dimple, line it up with the hole, push it all the way until its flush, now you have a 2-inch hitch ball. So in a few seconds you went from a 1 7/8 to a 2-inch.Now the last item I want to talk about is the Etrailer.com Ball Mount Bag part number ETBMB. This durable bag will work great not only for ball mounts but for all your towing equipments such as tie down straps, pins, clips, locks. It has a strong handle, makes it easy to carry and it has a large zipper opening that runs the length of the bag which makes it easier to insert the ball mounts and other large items into the bag. It is made of a durable nylon construction which will provide many years of use. The zipper is a no-hassle zipper closure. It has the handle for transportation and Ill give you a few dimensions on the bag. The overall length will be 16 inches. The height on this bag would be 5 inches and the width on the bag would be 4 inches. And that should do it for part number EBMK4.
