Curious about the recommended height of the trailer hitch ball on a 17 Sabre FTD single axle trailer. I have generally run it at 19″, but it seemed the trailer was nose high. I dropped it a notch (I have a Razor adjustable hitch) and its now about 17.5 or so. Seems the trailer is a bit more level at that setting.What does BCB recommend?2017 Sabre FTD AE DC2017 Yamaha 175 SHOMK Fortrex 80Helix 10 Mega SI in consoleHelix 7 GPS SI GN2 on bow

Not BCB but I had a 2017 sabre ltd for about 6 months and mine was 17.5 to the top of ball. I now run the same on p2.single

Thanks…Im right on the money then. I was getting a bit of swaying at 19″ when making a sudden lane change or something like that. Seems more stable and tracking better now. 2017 Sabre FTD AE DC2017 Yamaha 175 SHOMK Fortrex 80Helix 10 Mega SI in consoleHelix 7 GPS SI GN2 on bow

Recommended height for a BCB trailer today is 20″ to top of the ball.

I just assume you are talking top of the ball at the loaded (boat on the hitch) time, as I suspect most hitches lower as the tongue weight is applied?

20” dry vehicle no load on tongue.
