Question:

We live on the gulf of Mexico. Do you have any made with non corrosive material ? Thanks.

The ball and stick set # PTW1276 has a chrome finish but that would not last all that long in a salt water environment. None of the other options would fare much better in that environment. So you have a couple of options. First, the ball and sticks like this are not all that expensive so you could get one to see how long it lasts to determine if staying with it is a worthy investment.

Or second you could go with a backup camera/hitch aligner # HM50002 and not worry about salt water air corroding anything. I own this camera system and it has been working beautifully for a few years now. I have linked a video showing an installation for you.
