See full version: Ski Tow Bar
@timhannan. Thanks for sharing this. The most important part of this experience is the girls were ok. Hopefully others will come across this post and realize the importance of NOT using the ski pylon for anything BUT skiing/wakeboarding and pulling towables on the stern eyes. [links]
Again, a valuable lesson learned and the most important is those girls are unharmed as I've seen other examples where the riders on the towable weren't as fortunate.
I ski at an amateur tournament level (best run I have had is 5 balls at 38 off) and put some good flex on a towbar and broken my share of ropes. [links]
The label on my 2012 FD196 is very inconspicuous. And the tow hook is so convenient. I confess to pulling a tube with the tow bar before I read the warnings on this forum. I was lucky. Lots of incidents occurring. Seems like the label could be more prominent.
Lesson learned. I hope the repair bill isn't too much. I was hoping like a snowball in **** that they would take some faulty safety ownership of this and help me out with the repair bill. The whole thing let go from about 12-18" below the mount on the stern deck. The plywood ripped out. the weld where the pylon meets the bracket broke. The pylon is bent at the stern surface mount. It was bent when I bought it but thought it was part of a design and hard to tell until the whole pole is out of the boat. I hope this helps. [links]
Is the pylon solid steel throughout or is it a hollow tube?
