How Does The Curt Tri-Ball Coupler Work When I Am Towing My Boat

Question:

The lock works fine for storing my boat trailer but how would it work while I am towing my trailer and boat? How do I keep the three balls from flapping in the wind, etc??

When the pin of the Curt Tri-Ball Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Ball Couplers, part # C48CR, goes through the ball coupler you cannot open the coupler to disconnect your trailer from the tow vehicle. That is how it will work when you are towing your trailer and boat. I do not know if you can do anything to keep the balls from flapping in the wind, but it might not be as windy as you think between your 2003 Toyota Sequoia and your boat trailer. You might try using a simple bungee cord to keep them out of the way. Something as simple as an Erickson Flat Bungee Cord w/ S-Hooks - 12" Long, part # EM06912, would work.

I have included a product description link and a video demo link below.
