If you are towing your boat, this is the correct stabilizer to use.

  The Gen-Y anti-rattle device you mentioned part # 325-GH-033 does have a reputation as fitting really tightly. Some people report that using a hammer works for them, but I personally wouldn't want to mess with all of that. A U-bolt style anti-rattle like the part # RSCP would be an easier option that would be just as effective.

  There are 3 places of possible movement for Curt adjustable ball mount # C45902: the 2 pins that hold the ball to the shank and between the shank and the hitch itself.

• Fixing Thule Parkway 4 bike Rack That's Rattling In Vehicle Hitch
  Where exactly is the rattling occurring? If the looseness is between the 1-1/4 inch shank and the 2 inch adapter sleeve, make sure the Allen head screw that secures the sleeve onto the shank is fully tightened. You can try a wrap or two of electrical tape around the 1-1/4 inch shank to act as a shim and hopefully tighten things up a bit. If the rattle is between the 2 inch sleeve and the inside of your receiver tube, you'll need to snug up the hitch bolt a little bit so it fits more tightly....

• Can an Anti-Rattle Device Be Used in Upper Receiver of MaxxTow Dual Hitch Extender # MT70070
  I'm assuming you're speaking of an anti-rattle device. Many anti-rattle devices depend on the receiver tube to have a lip around it. The Roadmaster # RM-061 or the Brophy # RSCP are examples of this type. An anti-rattle device like the # 63232 doesn't depend on the receiver tube having a lip in order to work. Keep in mind that a dual-hitch adapter like the MaxxTow # MT70070 will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch its used in by 50 percent.
