Trailer hitch question

Post by Mr.J. »

A while back, earlier in the summer, I had a problem getting my trailer to sit on the ball. After some time we found out it was a washer that had slipped and was preventing the trailer to sit on the ball.

Now when I press down on the latch it is harder to press down than it was before. I like it because of a sense of security, tight means it should never accidently pop off.

But I am wondering if it is possible to be too tight.

Is it possible to have the hitch on the ball too tight?

doesn't sound right to me. maybe it's time to replace the hitch on your trailer. don't want to lose the boat on the highway
