Abstract
The tow bar and trailer hitch comprise a bracket having an attachment plate and a cylindrical sleeve which are mounted on the deck of the personal watercraft and a generally triangular rigid tow bar which has a first pin at its apex which is inserted into the sleeve to provide pivoting capability between the bracket and the front of the tow bar. A second pin or bolt is inserted through each of the legs extending from the corners of the base of the triangle and into corresponding attachment points on the underside of the trailer. The second pins also allow vertical pivoting movement between the tow bar and the trailer.
