I have this Gen-Y Gooseneck Adapter on my Brinkley 3610. Should I be greasing the gooseneck ball or coupler on this adapter and, if so, with what?

Hey Travis, thanks for reaching out!
You'll definitely want to apply grease to the gooseneck hitch ball whether you're towing a gooseneck trailer or your 5th wheel with the Gen-Y Adapter Box # GY72SB.
I spoke with Gen-Y and they said they recommend marine grease so you can use something like the LubriMatic # L74FR for this. You'll want to apply more grease when you see the previous grease wear off.
How often do you tow?
