The Draw-Tite Hitch # 75560 you were looking at is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Subaru Legacy. To tow a wave runner you will need a ball mount, ball, and wiring. The wiring for your Subaru is # C59496.
To determine which ball mount and ball you will need will be dependent on your waverunner's trailer. I have linked a Help Article on how to determine which ball mount you will need for your setup. The ball you will need will likely be a 1-7/8 inch like # 19260 or a 2 inch diameter like # 63845. The size coupler on your trailer will tell you. You will also want to make sure that the shank diameter of the ball matches the ball mount. We do offer a ball mount kit # EBMK4 that include the typical ball and ball mounted needed to tow.
You will want to check your owner's manual for any limitations your vehicle may have while towing, because you will be limited to your lowest capacity item which may end up being your vehicle.
I have linked all the recommended products to this page for your convenience as well as an installation video of the Draw-Tite Hitch being installed on a 2008 Subaru Legacy.
