Installing a Reese Towpower 2 Inch Trailer Coupler on the 1996 Winner Boat

[@gradyrm237]

I can do all of it but the welding. Genuine artiste IMO

[@Doyle907]

Great job...that long eye bolt didn't stand a chance ...fun to watch thx

[@dietrichcusseaux2756]

Excellent watch fabulous commentary!👍🏽

[@livinginmooresvillenc]

I have a hitch like your old one and hate how it moves up and down. What do they call that kind of coupler?

[@ronayles9050]

I love your commentary, great video..

[@BC_Hunter]

What’s size bolts were those?

[@pork_chop13]

So if the blue squad part of the tongue is 2 1/2 inch square pipe what size coupler do I use. It’s a 1 7/8 ball now and I want a 2 inch ball.

I have almost exactly the same project to do...thank you...decent video and reassures me that I am on the right track.

[@SUBJECTISOLDMOVEON]

[@vivienscotsonpatreon]

[@vv6292]

I have installed many surge and electric systems an will always prefer the surge but the electric is far more serviceable. I like the eye bolts but use hard washers and stover nuts but still put in some linear welds ,and never go all the way across the top as it sets up a fail line depending on what load you will be pulling but an inch in the center is fine.(I am an inspector)as you do, , , well for that extra bit. GR.5 just never seems to be enough so I use GR 8.Nice clean job my friend. I hope your tow vehicle is heavy enough to warrant no trailer brakes bud. Good job fella ! Very clean !

Great to hear the feedback. There was some discussion about electric brakes, pretty simple to install i hear. in this case, the brakes haven't worked for 15 years. I only tow to the river, which is about 15 minutes. The surge system introduced inches play and made it difficult to hook up and drop. The play is now gone. The RAM has the electric brake system built in. Ill do another video when the electric brakes arrive. - Cheers

[@TomokosEnterprize]

You bet bud. Just change out the backing plates and wire em up.

[@brittatel]

Do you always have to weld it? Or could it be just fine with the bolts?

[@Imwright720]

El Padrino Has to be welded.

Very good video, I had the same kind of need almost and it just fit in right. Thanks

[@MilanDupal]

For what reason welding the new coupler???

[@DonBrandt]

The surge system introduced inches play and made it difficult to hook up and drop. The play is now gone.

[@MetrologyEngineer]

You really needed something to keep those nuts in. But welding it also prevents them from coming out.

[@brewferg]

Very nice video. I need to do the same - much appreciated!!

[@brentbradley6711]

It was fine until you ruined it by welding it. Did you think it was going to fly off.?..……..lol
