Title: Jet ski question
Post by: davidpt40 on August 16, 2003, 10:09:38 AM

Anyone know what the usual size of the ball hitch is on jet-ski trailers?  Friend is renting a jet-ski and will save alot of time if I could figure out the ball hitch size.  Thanks.

Most boat trailers use 1-7/8" balls.

1 & 7/8" most likely, but 2" is common as well. You can pull a 2" hitch with a 1 & 7/8" ball (not totally safe to do)....but not vice versa.

(edit: DUH....should have thought of this in the first place, just call the place he's renting from and ask)

you can buy a great kit with interchangable balls at walmart for 15 bucks. i keep the spare one in my glove compartment.

they change by hand.
