Ice fishing setup

[atvman]

What hitch system is everyone using to haul around their ice sleds? I see yamaha has a light duty hitch. But cannot find any information about how it mounts or anything. Any info appreciated

I have the hitch i believe you are looking at, it slides over your rear bumper and two bolts clamp it down, i have this hitch on booth my sleds incase of having to tow somebody.

So it just slides over your rear bumper no drilling required?

My sled is a 141" XTX LE and I have also had the BOP tunnel support brackets that would help with strengthening the rear section of the tunnel.
