The CURT RockerBall™ Starter Kit with a 3″ Drop is designed to enhance your marine towing experience by providing superior comfort and control. Engineered specifically for boating enthusiasts, this shock-absorbing hitch accessory minimizes vibrations and noise, ensuring a smoother and more reliable journey on the water.
Enhanced Towing Performance for Marine Applications
The RockerBall™ cushion hitch utilizes our innovative ShockDrop™ technology to deliver unparalleled towing stability. Whether you’re navigating through choppy waters or cruising over uneven boat ramps, the integrated cushion isolator effectively dampens jerks and jolts, transforming the standard ball mount into a resilient cushion hitch with anti-rattle capabilities.
Key Benefits
- Absorbs erratic movements and vibrations at the coupling point for a smoother ride
- Increases control over both the tow vehicle and the boat trailer
- Reduces stress on critical towing components, including the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and receiver hitch
- Minimizes noise and discomfort caused by traditional metal-on-metal hitch connections
- Extends the longevity of your towing system by mitigating shock loads during sudden maneuvers
Durable and Low-Maintenance Design
Constructed from forged steel, the RockerBall™ hitch ball ensures exceptional strength and reliability. The robust base and ball mount are finished with a durable black powder coat, while the ball itself boasts chrome plating for outstanding weather resistance—ideal for the harsh marine environment. Unlike other torsion and cushion hitch options, the RockerBall™ requires minimal maintenance. Simply apply grease to the integrated zerk fitting as needed to maintain continuous lubrication and smooth operation.
