Tow hitch thingys

[Linda]

My surf has nothing at the front to attach a tow rope to.. I think is likely to be a problem as I fully expect to get stuck in the mud some time soon Anyone have any idea where I can get a hook or something and how to attach it? I think they are usually welded on, but can you bolt them on???

Any help or advise appreciated...

Hi Linda

Thanks guys - yes I have found the bolt holes.

Only question now is - where can I get the tow rings or hooks to go on there??? Any ideas??

Linda,
I have same model, If you can wait a few weeks we can compare and maybe find the bits you need. (Of course there is lots of mud to play in between times but you could just curb you adventurous side until then!)
