Well, here it is, my new rig... well the boat is a year old this month
and the Highlander is almost 3 months old.



I have it on a fairly level spot to measure how level the trailer is
with a 2" drop receiver.

D'oh... I need to reverse the draw bar so the hitch is 3/4 inches high.

I'm struggling with that because I don't have a 1 & 9/16" or 1 & 5/8ths
wrench to hold the ball steady while I remove the big 1.5" nut and it's
locking washer.



I tried my water pump pliers with duct take over the jaws to protect the
chrome but it's too slippery.



Guess I'm off to Princess Auto to buy a big cheap Chinese adjustable
wrench.





Nice boat. What holds the cover on when you are towing? I can't see any

straps...snaps, maybe?

Snaps and a snug fit, but I don't like the way the wind affects it.
Legend claim it can be towed at highway speed but local boat cover maker
says he wouldn't trust it.
I could get him to sew straps on.
He also warned me that the little poles that fit into the round plastic
vents can shake loose and puncture the material.

That does not look like a towing cover. My boat has a towing cover, but
does not cover the windshield.
