For many years been thinking the what if? including 2 pics, 1st is what everybody has, and had to replace a few over the years, < Due to the Ball frog get's Bent over time. and even tho they are plenty new even Walmart. Mine is welded on, went thru 4 new ones , to find a match of the frog .. They change innards ever so often apparently, just for sake of a change I guess.... With that being said , when I totally replace the Boat trailer coupler wil require having welds cut off and cleaned up to put a total new coupler back on . specifically replaced 2 on a ski boat trailer and once on a bass boat trailer. the 2nd pic is what's on my Horse trailer and only had to replace the steel pin, that holds the slide out ball lock on side.. other than that never any issues with the horse trailer coupler.. So wonder why the boat trailer MFG never use the pic #2 style?? and I was thinking of changing to that style on bass boat trailer. Lets hear the thoughts
< pic #1 /pic#2> pic #3 this is actual what Horse trailer has now, due to the a FRAME AND Crank down Jack and know it's not made for Boat & Utility style trailer fames It they where ya bet I'd put a RV electric crank on the Bass Trailer
