Use my boat in saltwater only. Used to tow with a Ford 1 ton Club Wagon which worked very well. Hitch and connector were located up high. Now tow with a 2004 Ford Excusrion (V10) and factory tow package. Factory hitch and wiring connector are located very low, under the rear bumper. This puts trailer connector very close to the water. I was considering relocating the connector up higher and installing it in the bumper. This would require drilling / cutting holes in the bumper. Question(s). Anyone have any ideas as to how hard the bumper material is??? Can a hand electric drill do this kind of job, or do I need something more professional. ???? Would drilling through the chrome expose the bumper base material to easier saltwater corrosion??
Thanks
