[QUOTE="Tim Murphy, post: 275431, member: 9229"] Dear River, I considered drilling the hole out, but a drill bit to do the job was going to cost way more than I paid for the hitch adapter. Since I wasn't going to be hauling the boat and trailer over the road with the lawn tractor I figured just going with a smaller diameter bolt and paying attention to how tightly it was mounted when I was moving the boat around it would work just fine. It turns out with a flat washer on the bottom of the bolt the bolt is just about perfectly centered in the mounting tab on the rear plate. With the drawbar and ball mounted in the adapter the hitch extends behind the rear tires so I have plenty of room to swing the trailer anywhere it needs to go. Regards, Tim Murphy :-) [/QUOTE]
