4.2.6.1.1 Depressor Installation
The depressor wing attaches directly to your ARC Explorer tow fish. The depressor wing will
replace your existing tow rail. The wing can be easily removed, if needed, and the depressor wing's
tow rail can be used without reinstalling the factory tow rail. The depressor wing's tow rail maintains
the full function of the forward handle and the variable-angle adjustments when the wing is removed.
