Abstract: The invention includes an elongated frame member connectable to the eyebolt at the bow of a boat. A pair of brackets, are respectively connected to upper and lower ends of the frame member. One of the brackets supports a transversely extending rod receiving socket, and the other bracket supports a transversely oriented rod journal bearing, the socket and the journal bearing having the same longitudinal axis. An elongated rod member is slidably positioned in the journal bearing and has at the lower end thereof a locking element which is adapted to selectively co-act with either the journal bearing or the socket. A rod receiver member is connectable to the forward end of a trailer and includes a pair of spaced apart, longitudinally extending brackets defining therebetween a rod receiving pocket and having end portions flared in opposite senses to as to define a relatively wide rod receiving yoke.
