Underwear and seat cover goes without saying. The freaky part was that the coupler was still latched closed and padlocked. Stripped it right off the ball. Boat, motor and trailer are 3500 lbs. Yikes
was the coupler nut loose?

It was never messed with and I've been towing it around since July 2013, but anything is possible. I bought a new coupler because I can't ever trust that one again, and the new one is adjusted very snuggly.
Be sure and use the heavy 8k lb rated 2" ball. There are smaller 2" balls with thinner flanges and are only rated for about what your boat weighs. Glad no one was hurt and it didnt trash too much.It was never messed with and I've been towing it around since July 2013, but anything is possible.
