This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
The contoured, low-profile design of the latch handle helps protect the coupler from damage by allowing any potential hazards - from debris on the road to your ball mount backing into the coupler - to simply slide over the top. This helps prevent anything from getting under the latch handle and releasing the ball, and it can also limit any damage to the coupler should an impact occur.
Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole through the handle latch, the eZ-Latch coupler features a hole through the side of the coupler itself. Inserting a coupler lock through this hole will keep the latch from lifting, preventing disconnect and theft.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this hydraulic trailer brake actuator features a durable zinc finish that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. Even the master cylinder is made of a corrosion-proof composite to further ensure durability for marine applications. The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is also constructed of a durable composite material that's corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

Today, we're going to take a look at the Demco EZ Latch Straight Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler to fit a two inch ball, has as a 7,000 pound weight capacity. Now this Straight Tongue Coupler is made of sturdy steel construction, has a nice zinc plating to offer corrosion resistance, it does meet 200 hour salt spray rating. This Channel Tongue Coupler, lets you hook up your trailer to your tow vehicle, provides the connection point right here for your two inch diameter hitch ball. And what's nice about this, it uses the EZ Latch Coupler and that mechanism will ensure a fast, simple, secure hookup and disconnect basically to let you hook up. When this latch in the closed position, just drop the coupler over the hitch ball and the latch will snap into place. Just to demonstrate that, I happen to pull a two inch diameter hitch ball with this coupler will fit on.
And you can see when you put it over it, and if you press down, you can see that automatically with this latch closed, you could hear it snap into place and connect to your hitch ball.To release it, it's very simple. You just pull up on this easy latch handle all the way, and remove it from the hitch ball. So again, with it closed it'll snap right into place. The handle on this, the EZ Latch handle is a corrosion proof polymer, nylon resin composite handle. It's very durable, impact resistant.
Now, if you want to lock this to your hitch ball, that is possible. You can see this hole right here, it's a five/16 diameter hole. You can get a five/16 diameter Coupler Pin Lock, that'll slide through there and on the other side, put your lock and then we'll lock it to the hitch ball so nobody can remove it. Now the minimum span you will need on the lock from here to here, is going to measure two and a half inches.Now this is a bolt on installation. You can see the three holes right here, it's designed to bolt into the trailer tongue.
Now the installation hardware to install, this is not included. This part is made in the USA. Again, the mounting on this is three inch wide straight channel tongues. So you can see if I measure the inside, it measure about three and one eight 00:01:59 inches. So it's designed to fit over the three inch wide channel tongue.
Hitch ball size again, it fits is two inch diameter and the weight capacity is 7,000 pounds, but that should do it for the review on the Demco EZ Latch Straight Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler for two inch ball.

Straight-tongue coupler is made of sturdy steel and has a corrosion-resistant zinc finish with a 200-hour salt spray rating. eZ-Latch ensures fast, easy, secure hookup and disconnect. Bolts onto your 3" wide trailer tongue. 3-Hole bolt-on case.Defintely works as advertised. I use this with a swivel lock hitch(no longer made) and it's so much easier to connect. My $.02 I do have some thoughts though-The spring and rod in the center aren't stainless steel (It sticks to a magnet). Even though this is good for a salt spray, it has never seen the corrosion of Midwest winters for snowmobiling. I sprayed the spring and rod with zrc cold galvanizing and coated with grease. The screw at the bottom is locktite, which is fine. However, I also added a stainless steel washer as extra insurance from loosening on bumpy salty roads. If you plan to take it apart, watch the video on etrailer how to dis/re-assemble. Watch your eyes, the spring flies out at light speed. Also, use 4 x 1/2 inch(or 4.5 if you use a support handle) Grade 8 bolts! That way you can get a nylock nuts and washers for extra support.

Don’t hesitate to buy this! I replaced a worn out coupler with this to speed up the time it takes to attach and it didn’t disappoint. The manager sat the marina even said he is going to recommend it to all of his customers going forward.
