A restraining device, such as a bolt, pin, or latch, removably secures a connector sleeve to a U-bolt, such as a tow-rope-eyelet on the bow of a boat hull. The connector sleeve is machined with an internal cavity having surfaces and dimension that correspond to outer surfaces of the U-bolt. The sleeve contains holes through which the restraining device passes after the sleeve has been slid over the U-bolt such that the restraining device, while installed, prevents the sleeve from sliding back off of the U-bolt. The sleeve also includes accessory mount holes to receive restraining devices that attach an accessory, such as a ladder, to the sleeve and thus to the boat via the sleeve that has been secured thereto. The sleeve may provide for set screws to snug the sleeve to the U-bolt if clearance exists between surfaces of the cavity and the U-bolt.
