Pintle hitch

[rockhound]

Has any put a pintle hitch on their MP?

I'm thinking of trying one as I don't like using a single pin type hitch in cold weather.

Do you have a link to the one you want to use? It would depend on how it mounts.

I think they sell one for the VK Pro, maybe that would work.

Found one from Yamaha that is made for the MP, they call it a tow hook. It works on the same principles as a pintle hitch. Same bolt pattern as the tag tow so it should be a simple conversion.

Thanks guys for your replies

I knew I saw one a while back, its listed on the VKPro accessories page part # 86D-77591-00-00. It even looks as though it has the same bolt pattern as our hitches so you could swap rather easily! Bring on the broken doos!

Plugging that number into Google, I found this pic on Youtube of all places. It's only at the beginning of the video and the rest of it doesn't even talk about it, just how to order parts not even related to it. Kinda weird. And it's not even that "BoatNJetski" place neither.

86D-77591-00-00 That is the number on Yamaha Canada's site under the RS venture as well. So yes it should be a case of changing 4 bolt. Bring on the Doo's

Here it is installed. Takes less than 5 minutes to replace.

Works awesome and it takes seconds to hook up and unhook.
