    2017 Triton Trailer - Need Plastic Cap on Trailer Tongue

    Were the 2017 TRX trailers mfg by Marine Master? Not sure of the correct name for this plastic cap on the breakaway tongue but it came off somewhere this weekend, probably prompted from me stepping on to winch the boat. Need to get a replacement.

    I got a brand new Marine Master Trailer, I'm sure the cap would fit perfect, but when they spray the gatorhyde on the trailer, it makes the hole smaller, so it does not sit flush like it should.

    Luckily mine has not fallen out yet.

    On my last trailer, I use to take black electrical tape and go completely around the tongue and cap a couple of times, never fell out, The tape comes right off with no problem when its time to check the brake fluid level.

    After I lost my third one, I bought a metal one. Haven't lost that one but I have to have a pair of pliers to take it off. That is a little bit of a hassle but better than having to buy a new one every other week, (or so it seemed). The metal one locks on and will not come off unless you take it off.

    Fine fit but it was tight. They pretty liberal putting that road armour on there.
