Ski Pylon Extensions/ Towers TOP
The use of any ski pylon extension, vertical or horizontal, is not recommended by
Gekko Sports on any Gekko product. Be aware that the use of pylon extensions could
create excessive stress on your boat and subjectively cause damages not covered by
the warranty.
CAUTION !
Failure to adhere to these precautions may result in severe injury or death to you
and/or others.
• Ski Pylons are not designed for vertical extensions. Modifications to the Pylon or its
mountings may result in damage to the boat and injury to the user.
• Boats equipped with a Tower may strike low objects. Check clearance height around
docks, shore, overhanging objects, bridges and power lines.
• DO NOT pull past 45 degrees of the centerline of the boat. Failure to follow this rule
could result in the boat capsizing.
