    Resurrecting this thread.....finally bought an old stand up Kawasaki jet ski and want to do this mod, but I have to get the hitch first.

    So it is certain that I need the Uhaul/Curt hitch right?

    I have always liked the cleaner look of Tone's and also thought the Uhaul got in the way of off roading a little with less of an angle.

    However I do plan to lift mine another inch here soon.

    And what is the anti rattle/wobble device?

    Hi,
    The anti-rattle hitch pin I use is this one:

    It's amazing! I'm surprised that it hasn't caught on more. Once you have one, you'll never NOT own one if you tow or hitch anything.

    What Kawasaki ski did you get!? I sold my 550s (x5) and now just have one 650sx that I'm building from the profits of the sales.
    If you aren't a member of the forum www.pwctoday.com already, JOIN! Best source of info and parts I've ever seen. Also, if you have stuff to sell... it WILL sell there. I'm Silverbullet75 on that site too... go figure.

    Also, definitely do the Curt/Uhaul/Dylan hitch if you're planning the rear jet ski mount. Let me know if you need some help with the rack!

    When it says it doesn't require a 2nd hole, does that mean this pin doesn't go through the hole on the other side of the receiver, OR does it mean you don't need to drill a new set of holes in the receiver? Reason I'm asking is cuz I can't get my "regular" locking pin on with my new rear skid because the notched area on the skid is not wide enough. If this pin is shorter, maybe it would fit or at least require less cutting to fit?

    No idea what they mean by second hole... weird.

    It just replaces your current hitch pin.
    Here's a great description of how it works:

    If you would like, I could send you mine for fitting purposes before you buy Sue.
    I don't need it for a few more weeks.
    Just pay shipping... Let me know.
