Bryant fish Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Whatever tow bar suits your car and is weight rated for the load plug to match your trailer plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Almost every trailer is the flat type these dates, haven't seen the round ones for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Most standard boat trailers only require a 7 pin plug. https://www.narva.com.au/products/82042bl/7-pin-flat---39-quickfit--39--trailer-socket If you are towing other larger things that could require an extra trailer break booster or the thing being towed(such as a caravan) might need other power then you would probably go for a 12 pin. https://www.narva.com.au/products/82072bl/12-pin-flat-trailer-socket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hayman Reece towbars are the go. You can buy a bolt on tongue or a heavy duty slide out. If you buy a slide out, buy a lock for it as people steal them. 7 pin plug is the go as people have suggested. A tow bar fitter will advise you which tow bar to buy. Cheers.
