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.
The MPG550-TH Bunks MegaSport™ trailer package is bundled with two sets of 84" bunks (for two boats), 15' straps, spare tire kit, sliding storage drawer, 2nd tier load bars and a wet gear basket.
The MPG550-TU Saddle Up Pro MegaSport trailer package is bundled with SaddleUp carriers, spare tire kit, sliding storage drawer, 2nd tier load bars and a wet gear basket.
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 you add anything, which is higher than the smaller Malone trailers and worth checking against your hitch.
What maintenance does it need?
Before every trip check lights, coupler and pin, crossed safety chains, lug nuts, condition of all three tires including the spare, drawer and basket security, and all straps. Service the wheel bearings on the schedule set out in your documentation. Rinse the frame, wheels, carriers, drawer rollers and basket with fresh water after salt water launches or road salt, and re-check the mounting hardware on the tier and accessories 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.
