Towbar Safety Sock

When preparing to trailer your boat, you're making sure that everything is securely attached to the trailer hitch, but after hitching up, you probably won't think about it much further.

When preparing to trailer your boat, you're making sure that everything is securely attached to the trailer hitch, but after hitching up, you probably won't think about it much further. But if the trailer hitch rubs against the back of a pickup truck or SUV during use, it can leave scratches or marks behind. Intromark Inc. has created the Towbar Safety Sock™, a soft neoprene cover for standard truck and SUV trailer hitches that prevents them from rusting or getting dirty while towing or pulling. It slips right over the hitch, just like a sock, leaving the towball exposed. It also helps to protect a person's shins, legs and other body parts from accidents caused by an exposed hitch. The Towbar Safety Sock is available in various colors, and different sizes to fit any hitch, and retails for $14.95.  (800) 851-6030, www.intromarkstore.com.
