Question:
which anti-rattle device is recommended for towing a boat trailer?
asked by: harvey
Expert Reply:
There are several anti-rattle devices that would be good to use when towing a boat trailer. The construction of your ball mount will determine the best choice for your application.
If your ball mount is hollow, and you have a 2 inch receiver hitch, then I would recommend the
Softride Anti-Rattle Device and Lock for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, item # SR25219. This anti rattle device also includes a lock to secure the ball mount to the vehicle.
If your ball mount is solid, and you have a 2 inch receiver hitch, I would recommend the RoadMaster Quiet Hitch Anti-Rattle Device for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, item # RM-061. This is slid onto the ball mount before installation into the hitch and then is tightened to the hitch eliminating rattle. Also see the Malone # MPG908.
This wedge device installs around the hitch pin and the wedge is tightened between the hitch and the ball mount.
