I would be happy to help you! The best hitch for your 2017 Subaru Legacy is going to be the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75673. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Legacy with included hardware. This hitch has the highest capacity for both towing weight 4,000 lbs and tongue weight 600 lbs out of the available hitches for your car. You will want to verify what your Subaru's towing capacity is and go off of that number. You should have no problem towing a jet ski trailer.
To control your trailer's lighting functions you will want the Tekonsha T-One Connector Assembly w/Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite HD Module item # 118671. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area on both the driver's side and the passenger's side. It will provide you with a 4-flat connector that will plug into your jet ski trailer.
To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
