ABSTRACT:
A ski bar hold down assembly including a post is rotatably and slideably mounted to a ski bar for use in mounting the ski bar to a trailer. The assembly includes a stop on a lower end of the post engaged with a lower surface of the trailer. The assembly further includes a releasable clamp mounted to an upper end of the post and engaged with a top of the ski bar. The clamp selectively mounts the ski bar to the trailer so as to mount snowmobile skis of a snowmobile between the ski bar and the trailer. If desired, the hold down assembly can also be mounted to the trailer even if no snowmobile is present. A method of mounting the ski bar is provided including the steps of inserting a post of a hold down assembly into a passage in the platform of the trailer, rotating the post 90.degree., then moving a clamp on the assembly to clamp the ski bar to the trailer.
