The MicroSport™ Off-Road Trailer is full submersible and offers a unique black powder coat over a pre-galvanzied steelframe creating one of the most rust-preventive coatings in the industry. Each kit is comprised of a sturdy steel tongue, a “plug-&-play” LED submersible lighting system that meets DOT standards, 78" steel load bars, and large oversized pontoon tires. With the use of common tools, assembly can be accomplished in around three to four hours. Backed by a Five-Year Limited Warranty and proudly crafted in the United States.

What hitch hardware does it need?
The trailer coupler requires a 2-inch-diameter hitch ball, and the top of that ball should sit 18 inches from the ground so the trailer tows level. That is the trailer's side of the connection. Lighting is a DOT-approved plug-and-play submersible LED kit, so confirm your vehicle's connector matches.
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.
Four boats present a large frontal area, so expect more crosswind sensitivity than the trailer shows empty.
What maintenance does it need?
Pre-trip: lights, coupler and pin, crossed safety chains, lug nuts, condition of all three tires including the spare, and every strap and carrier fastener. Service the wheel bearings on the schedule in your documentation — a submersible trailer used on wet, gritty ground earns that attention. Rinse frame, wheels, carriers and hardware after salt water, mud or road salt, check folding carrier pivots for grit, and inspect the powder coat for chips.
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.
