All this talk of trailer hitches brings up a longstanding complaint of mine: Why don't boats have trailer hitches?
If our boat had a trailer hitch, I could use our trailer hitch bicycle rack, plug it in to the 2" receiver at the stern, and haul five bikes along.
.....
Good point. If your boat had a trailer hitch, stupid stinkpotters would be less inclined to run up your tail at anchor.
Hey, it works on my car...

I'm going to adapt one to fit the BBQ mount, and I don't see why I can't use it when the boat's movin'.
There's a scene in Master & Commander rounding Cape Horn in a storm and there's a whitehaired old salt doing his necessary while seated on the Cathead, that's Seamanship!
You would definitely want to have the keys to the truck in your pocket when using it, way too tempting! This has YouTube written all over it, I'm laughing already.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Eeeew! Slippery when wet?
I guess that is what happens when you can't see it because it is 'camo' and using it while moving is just asking for trouble.
Who needs a holding tank? I'll mount one of those on the stern rail and hope that it all holds up to 'adult activities' while removing the head and plumbing.
YMMV.
