Exterior Equipment
Ski Tow
The hardtop frame is equipped with a ski tow
designed for pulling one average sized skier or
wakeboarder. You should never tow more than
one skier or wakeboarder from the ski tow. Tow-
ing more than one skier will put too much strain
on the fabrication and could cause damage to the
hardtop, console or cockpit sole.
Always use high quality tow ropes with attach-
ment loops when pulling wakeboarders or skiers.
The tow rope should always be attached using
the attachment loops and never tied to the ski
tow or to any type of metal hook. Tied ski ropes
are very difcult to remove and metal hooks will
damage the ski tow and the powder coated alu-
minum around it. Additionally, a metal hook can
cause injury to your skier if it breaks under the
strain of the tow.
When attaching a tow rope using the attachment
loops, hold the attachment loop in one hand and
pull a length of rope on the handle side of the
loop through the loop, creating another 6” loop.
Slide the loop just created over the ski tow tting
and pull the handle side of the rope to tighten the
loop around the tow tting. This procedure will
attach the rope securely to the ski tow, be easy
to remove and will not come off if the skier or
wakeboarder falls.
Refer to Water Skiing in the Operation chapter
for safety information on operating the boat with
a skier.
