Dinghy, Part Deux


SUCCESS!

I finally got everything set up and was able to tow the Subaru! Here is what everything looks like when it is attached. Setting it up and connecting it all is quite the chore, however. I confess that the first time I hooked it up at the storage lot it was lucky that I was parked on gravel. As I drove away and glanced in the rear view mirror, I saw a 10ft long furrow behind the wheels of the dinghy. Note to self, be sure the emergency brake is off before driving away. Well since then I have made two successful short trips with the dinghy in tow. Nothing has come detached and all the lights work and the car drives fine after being towed. So, I am declaring success!!! Next step: the bike rack!
