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..

Excellent/light-weight mount & ball. Fit is perfect on my new Jeep Cherokee with OEM receiver. Easily removed for storage in trunk; however, safe/secure to leave in place with self-locking mechanism.

Stainless steel hitch balls are the best to use in the Gulf Coast area. Salt water, and the salty air are corrosive on these items. I have been using these stainless steel hitch balls for years now. These are good for under 7500 # trailers.

I got tired of the rusted mass of ball mount and ball sticking out the back of my brand new cat and ordered an Aluminum ball mount and this stainless ball. The new combinatino looks much better and should not rust like the old one.
Everything is as advertised and etrailer did a great job of getting it to me.

The hitch looks brand new after a full year on the vehicle. Be sure to spend the extra $ to get the stainless ball as well. You won't be disappointed with the accessoires.

Perfect fit in my new hitch, not a bit of flex and appears solid. Very curious to see how many years I can get out of this stainless ball, since all the others I've ever had only last about 6-10 years before the mount rusts to hell and back.

Very nice SS version of a 2 inch ball. I really like the polished finish vs. some of the other matte SS finishes. It matches a polished aluminum ball mount nicely. This is one of the only 7,500 lb rated 2 inch ball/1 inch shaft balls I could find. The only knock is that it is made in China, not the U.S., but you can't always get what you want. Etrailer was prompt with shipping. Please note the overall shaft length is 2 1/2 inches, which provides ample length even for 1 inch thick mounts typically found on aluminum mounts. This fact was not clear from the description, although it was buried in the Q and A. I will follow up once I've had a chance to put the product in service, which will be shortly.

TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I AM NOT VERY HAPPY THAT I SPENT THE EXTRA MONEY ON A STAINLESS STEEL BALL AND THE NUT AND WASHER SUPPLIED IS ZINC AND NOT STAINLESS! IT IS RUSTING VERY BAD, NOT HAPPY AT ALL AND IT MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!!!

The ball worked perfectly! I love it...! I needed one that had a smaller base so my trailer hitch would not get hung up on the old style large base. This ball fit perfectly! I love etrailer because they carry such a wide variety of parts...they’re my go too site for trailering stuff!!!!

The products bought were exactly what I expected with regards to quality. But what I appreciated most was the short amount of time it took to receive the items - very quick turn around from placing the order to receiving all of the items. I had emailed etrailer a couple of times, once to get the tracking number and another just to acknowledge receiving it and both times customer service replied right away - so kudos to George J and the customer service team.

My new Canyon Diesel Crew Cab Long Bed has a higher tow rating than my previous vehicle, so I needed to upgrade the hitch mount and ball to support heavier loads. I chose this because it is rated for the higher loads and made of stainless. Living in the rust belt, no one wants to look at rusty balls.

See what our Experts say about this Brophy Trailer Hitch Ball
- Does the Brophy Stainless Steel Hitch Ball SC23-C Come with Stainless Steel Nut and WasherI 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.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting a Hitch Ball that is not Securing When Lowering a Trailer CouplerThere 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...
view full answer... - Hitch Adapter to Tow Trailer and use Bike RackThere 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...
view full answer... - What Hitch Ball Size For 2023 Lance 1475 Travel TrailerHey 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,...
view full answer... - Torque Rating For 2" Hitch Ball SC23-CHello Eugene, thanks for reaching out. The correct torque rating for the nut on the 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C is 250 ft/lbs.
view full answer... - Is Aluminum Ball Mount Compatible With Stainless Steel Hitch Ball For 2 Inch HitchYes, 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...
view full answer... - What Is Overall Shank Length Of Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball SC23-CI went to the warehouse and measured the Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball, part # SC23-C. The length of the shank from the underside of the platform that sits on the ball mount is 2-1/2 inches. The threaded portion of the shank measures 2-1/8 inch. I have attached a photo of the ball with th edimensions shown.

- Corrosion Resistant 2 Inch Hitch Ball and Lock for Curt Aluminum Ball Mount With 2 Inch DropThere 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. For a hitch ball you can't go wrong with stainless steel to resist corrosion so the best option is the stainless 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C. Then for a stainless steel hitch lock I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # C23519. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out...

This trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. This is important so I have included a link on how to determine tongue weight for you. The gross trailer weight capacity...
view full answer... - Hitch & Ball Mount for 2002 Jeep Wrangler to Clear Spare TireYou 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...

- Where is Brophy 2 Inch Stainless Steel Hitch Ball MadeBrophy hitch ball # SC23-C is made overseas. For a stainless steel option that is made in the US you would have to go to an interchangeable set, # 903B. I have linked a video review of this set for you.
view full answer... - Size Wrench Used to Install Brophy Hitch Ball # SC23-CBrophy recommends using two large crescent wrenches to install the # SC23-C. Or at least one crescent wrench on top of the ball and a 1-7/8 inch wrench on the bottom.
view full answer... - Will Zinc Coated Nut Interact with Stainless Steel Brophy Hitch BallHonestly I don't have a good answer for that but it seems that as long as you won't be in saltwater you'll be fine. Galvanized steel and stainless steel normally won't become problematic together but if there's salt water you will see some corrosion develop. We haven't had any people come back and say the nut and washer created problems with the shank and ball of the # SC23-C either.
view full answer... - What Size Hitch Ball Shank Normall Fits Ball Mounts for 1-1/4 inch HitchThe standard ball hole diameter for ball mounts that fit 1-1/4 inch hitches is 1 inch like the 2 inch hitch ball part # SC23-C.
view full answer... - Best Ball Mount for 5 Inch Rise in 2 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe best ball mount that will give you 5 inches of rise is the Brophy Ball Mount # EA60. This ball mount is made from solid aluminum, which means no welded-on parts that can create weak spots, and also means it isn't going to corrode like steel can. 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. Then to secure the # EA60 to your hitch,...
view full answer... - Correct Torque to Install Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball SC23-C on Alumistinger Ball Mount AM3505To install the Brophy 2-Inch Hitch Ball # SC23-C on Fulton Ball Mount # F47CR you will use a suitable torque wrench (one like # ALL944001) to apply 250-ft-lbs of torque on the nut. I confirmed this with my contact at Brophy Machine Works.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Trailer Hitch Ball Size Needed for Travel TrailerI can tell you how to determine which trailer hitch ball you need for your 2012 Sportsmen Classic Series M-19BH travel trailer, and it seems likely it is a 2" hitch ball, though there would be no way we could have this type of information available. To determine the correct hitch ball you need to know what size ball the trailer's coupler will accept so that's the first detail you will need to acquire. Like I mentioned, for a trailer this size it is likely a 2" ball but you will need to...
view full answer... - Recommended 2 Inch Trailer Ball for Andersen Alumistinger Ball MountThe Curt 2 inch Trailer Ball, part # 40038 would be a good choice for you. The ball has a 1 inch diameter shank with a 12,000 lb capacity. It would work just fine with the Andersen Alumistinger Ball Mount you mentioned. Keep in mind that the towing capacity will be limited to the capacity of the lowest rated component, be it the ball, hitch, ball mount or the vehicle itself. The CR Brophy ball you mentioned would also work well, but it has a lower capacity at 7500 lbs.
view full answer... - Is the Brophy 2 Inch Hitch Ball Made Entirely of Stainless SteelThe 2" Hitch Ball part # SC23-C is constructed entirely of stainless steel and has a polished finished. It works with ball mounts that accept a 1" diameter shank and trailer couplers that accept a 2" diameter hitch ball. I have attached a review video of the above hitch ball for you as well.
view full answer... - Stainless 2 inch Hitch Ball Recommendation for a Brophy Ball Mount EA40For a 2 inch diameter stainless steel hitch ball to use with the Ball Mount part # EA40 that you referenced the Brophy ball part # SC23-C would work great. This ball has 2-1/8 inch long shank that is 1 inch in diameter so it would fit the # EA40 well.
view full answer... - 2-Inch Ball Mount with 6-Inches of Drop for Towing Car TrailerRoadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-6 is intended for use along with a Roadmaster tow bar like their BlackHawk 2 # RM-422 but is not rated for trailer towing, as you noted. Instead you'll want to use a ball mount with the same 6-inches of drop, such as 8K-rated aluminum ball mount # EA60 from Brophy. Be sure to use a hitch ball rated for the trailer's weight, such as 2-inch 7.5K ball # SC23-C. Please refer to the linked article and ball mount page.
view full answer... - Height of Brophy 2" Hitch BallFrom the base to the top of the 2" Hitch Ball # SC23-C measures about 3-1/2", and the overall length of the hitch ball with the shank is about 6". I have attached a diagram and a review video for you to check out.

- Which Wiring Harness, Ball Mount, Hitch Ball and Lock Should be Used for Salt Water TowingFor 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. I assume you have a 2 inch hitch receiver, so I would use part # e98882. It is a stainless steel hitch lock with a limited lifetime warranty. The drawbar and ball you need will depend on...
