The MegaSport is designed to meet the needs of the serious kayak angler. Proudly made in the USA, this premium marine grade trailer is the largest and most accessorized trailer we offer. From top to bottom, this trailer is a beast. It can be customized with options to provide wet or dry gear management, overhead storage, lighting / power options and electronic recharging. Tows so perfectly straight that you will hardly know it's back there.

What hitch hardware does it need?
The trailer coupler requires a 2-inch-diameter hitch ball, and the top of that ball should sit 16 inches from the ground so the trailer tows level. That is the trailer's side of the connection. The electrical connection is a standard 4-pin connector.
Your vehicle needs a hitch with a receiver, a ball mount that fits that receiver, and a 2-inch ball fitted to the ball mount. A receiver does not take a ball directly, and receiver size is a separate matter from ball diameter — a 2-inch ball does not mean you need a 2-inch receiver. Hitch, receiver, ball mount, ball and tow vehicle must each be rated for the loaded trailer, and the lowest rating in that chain governs.
Unloaded tongue weight is 63 pounds before any gear goes on, and a fully loaded Ultimate Angler is a substantial tow.
What maintenance does it need?
Pre-trip: lights, coupler and pin, crossed safety chains, lug nuts, condition of all three tires including the spare, drawer and cage latches, and every strap. Service the wheel bearings on the schedule in your documentation. Rinse frame, wheels, carriers, drawer rollers, basket and cage with fresh water after salt water or road salt, and re-check accessory mounting hardware periodically.
Inflate to the Malone-recommended cold pressure for this trailer, 35 to 40 PSI, checked before towing while the tires are cold, and follow the trailer documentation and current manufacturer specification. A sidewall maximum is not the recommended operating pressure — read the sidewall for tire size, load range and maximum limits, not for the figure to inflate to.
