Pole Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Hitches
Question:
All the weight dist hitches Ive seen look like they attach to utility trailers with an A frame style braces coming off the hitch. Can a WDH work with a boat trailer that has a long single beam coming off the hitch before splitting off and going back to the wheels? Im looking to pull a 24 boat that weighs ~6500 lbs and the tongue of the trailer is a strait beam of several feet long before splitting.

You will need to use a pole tongue adapter, like # RP58393 that you have referenced. A pole tongue adapter which will allow you to hook up a weight distribution system to your trailer like Reese Steadi-Flex, # RP66560. I have included a link to the installation details below.
