We don't have a video showing the install of the Curt # 31650 on a 2010 Mercury Mariner, but we can still provide assistance. The installation is pretty straightforward, with the only twist being the need to use the included bolt leaders to pull some of the installation hardware into the frame.
I can link you to the installation instructions, as well as to a video that shows how to use a bolt leader to pull the installation hardware into the frame members. To install the hitch, you'll... view full answer...
Valley hitches have been out of business for so long we don't have a way to look up what their part numbers fit so the best solution have for a trailer hitch that fits your 2010 Mercury Mariner would be the Draw Tite part # 75751 which is a 2 inch hitch with plenty of capacity and installs easily as well!
I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar 2009 Mariner as yours as well. view full answer...
For your 2008 Mercury Mariner, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75751 with its 675 lb tongue weight will work very well with the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp for 2" Hitch - 76" Long - Steel - 500 lbs Item # e98873 to carry your 500 lb motorcycle. With the carrier weighing around 58 lbs, that will give you 117 pounds to spare on the hitch, but no room to spare on the motorcycle. view full answer...

I have a solution for you, but the Valley Wiring harness part 30130 has been discontinued. For a very similar wiring harness confirmed to fit your 2006 Mercury Mariner I would recommend the Tow Ready Harness part # 118551. This harness is available and would work well. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. view full answer...

If your vehicle is equipped with a 4-Way connector, the Curt Universal Installation Kit # C57186 that you referenced includes everything needed to convert it to a fully-functional 7-Way. This includes the needed 10 gauge wire that you will connect to the vehicle's positive battery post via the included 40 amp breaker to activate the 12V pin on the 7-Way. This is the terminal you will use to charge the battery on your trailer while you are towing.

The Hidden Hitch Class III Round Tube Receiver hitch offered for your 2007 Mariner is part 87626. The T-1 wiring harness would be part # C59236. This wiring harness would plug inline with the factory connectors behind the tail light assemblies. One wire would then be run to the positive battery terminal.
Both the hitch and the wiring harness include all necessary installation hardware.
I will provide links to the hitch and the wiring harness, as well as the installation instructions for... view full answer...
Your 2008 Mercury Mariner can be equipped with either a 1-1/4-inch Class II or a 2-inch Class III trailer hitch. There are many towing-type bike racks available for use with 2-inch hitches however there are no towing racks offered for use with Class II hitches that have a 1-1/4-inch receiver.
This is because the lighter-duty Class II hitches do not have the capacity required to handle the forces applied to the ball mount from an attached bike carrier.
Your options are then to either replace... view full answer...
The Malone Low Max trailer has a removable hub, so you'll be able to pull it to access and remove the bearings; we've actually done a helpful video that walks through the process of removing, inspecting and re-packing your bearings. This is recommended once per year or every 12,000-miles; whichever comes first.
I've also linked our helpful article on the process that gives some helpful links to replacement parts that you might need if you need to replace the bearings or don't have a Bearing... view full answer...
The Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack Platform Rack, part # TH69TX, will fit on a Class III 2-inch hitch. If you have a 2-inch hitch on your 2010 Mercury Mariner, this bike rack will work with no extra parts needed. It can be set up to hold 2 or 4 bikes as needed.
If your Mariner has a factory 1-1/4 inch hitch you can use the Thule T2 Classic 2 Bike Platform Rack, part # TH9045, which is the same style bike rack for 2 bikes, but will fit the 1-1/4 inch hitch size.

2 inch trailer hitches have the best weight capacities and the most hitch accessories made for them so whenever available this is the hitch size to go with. So for your 2007 Mercury Mariner you'd want the part # 13650 for if you do not have a factory hitch currently or # C13651 for if you do have a factory 1-1/4 inch hitch.
For trailer wiring then you'd want the Tekonsha part # 118551 as it installs the easiest and also has the most reliable converter box. view full answer...
I am looking at the install pictures and if I am reading things correctly, the steel hanger welded to the exhaust pipe is touching the hitch. This in turn sends exhaust vibrations into the vehicle and that is what you are hearing. You have a few options of how this can be corrected.
The first is what we do here in our shops, and that is simply re-bending the hanger so that things do not make contact. The hangers are not always welded on the same way at the factory and some times they warp... view full answer...
We offer a security strap to help deter theft of trunk-mount bike racks like the Hollywood Racks # HRF2 and # HRF2-3. That item is # TH533. If you want something more secure you could use a cable lock like # e98891 to lock the rack to a rear tow hook for example. You can also use the cable lock to secure the bikes to the carrier when they are loaded for travel. view full answer...
It depends on the type of freshwater system you have in your RV or trailer. There is likely a specific procedure outlined in the literature for the RV/trailer that you will need to follow. If there isn't then you can follow the procedure below.
Basically when you are sanitizing the tank you aren't just cleaning that tank. You will be cleaning out the whole system so the water and sanitizing solution you use will run through the whole system.

Yes, If your 2008 Mercury Mariner has the factory cross bars that run from side to side on the top of the vehicle, the SportRack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier - Roof Mount, item # SR5511, will work on your vehicle. The J-Stacker will work on factory cross bars up to 3-1/2 inches diameter.
If your vehicle has factory side rails that run front to back, without cross bars, you will need cross bars. I would recommend the Thule Roof Rack For 2008 Mariner by Mercury, which consists of part # TH712100... view full answer...
The Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 13650, will fit your 2011 Mercury Mariner. This hitch has a gross towing weight capacity of 3,500 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs, but you will want to check your owners manual to find out what the maximum towing capacity will be for your Mariner.

If your 2005 Mercury Mariner has side curtain air bags then you will want to install tracks # THTP54 further in (towards the middle) on the vehicle roof to avoid interference. The wiring for things like the dome light are more or less in the center of the vehicle so you would not worry about that unless you wanted to put tracks in the middle of the roof.
To avoid drilling you could use a custom roof rack using the following parts:
CrossBars # INB137
Feet # INSUT

The extra wire on a 4 Pole to 5 Pole adapter like part # 20036, will connect to one of the two wires running to the reverse light bulb. You can use either the passenger or the driver side, it makes no difference.
In order to determine which wire you need to splice into, you will either need to use a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, or since there is only two wires you can just go by trial and error. You need to find the wire that goes hot or active when you put the Mariner into reverse.... view full answer...
I reviewed the installation instructions for Curt Class III Hitch, part 13650, and spare tire removal is not mentioned. You should be able to retain the factory spare in the original location on a 2005-2010 Mariner.
