Can you not use shackles or carabiners?

Shackles are the ones with the bat through, carabiner has the eye in.
I've bought them off uk yacht rigging supplies on ebay, does a few boat bits.

hi, the bridle thing has them carabiners at the ends already and the eyelets are small and lower down as so i cannot fit them through or hook them on, i thought there might be something you buy to link it through somehow ...

If the eyelets are that small I'd be a bit wary of what load they can take.
An alternative would be fit some rope and tie/splice it off through the eyelets and then clip the carabiners through that.

Fruitbat,
Did you ever get a chance to try out the ringo? I'm figuring if you can tow one with 3.10 and 9.9hp, I should be ok with my rig. So how'd it go???
