imbalance the boat or allow the tow rope to come into
contact with passengers.
DO NOT use the tow pylon for towing parasails, kites or
other watercraft.
DO NOT tow more than one person at a time or exceed a
load of 300 lbs (136 kg).
DO NOT allow passengers to sit behind the tow pylon when
it is in use.
Check that the tow pylon is secure before every use.
The tow pylon is designed for towing a wakeboard
or a ski device only.
Misuse of the tow-point can cause death or serious injury.
The pylon was designed for water sports only. DO NOT use
the parasailing, kite flying, towing other watercraft and/or
using pylon extensions. DO NOT sit behind (aft) the pylon
when tow pylon is in use.
The water sports tow pylon is manufactured from high-
strength aluminum alloy, engineered for durability. The tow
pylon is rated to tow one person and not to exceed the
weight of 300 lbs (136 kg). If the load limit is exceeded or
becomes loose when towing, the tow pylon could separate
from the boat. If the pylon separates from the boat and
because of its mass, it could become a missile hazard and
strike someone, causing death or serious injury.
Make sure the tow pylon is secured to the boat before
each use. Tow pylons can loosen over time, and must be
inspected and tightened before every use. If the tow pylon

is loose when towing, it could separate from the boat.
Although pylon extensions and barefoot booms have
become popular additions to many tournament inboards,
most boat manufacturers object and oppose the use of
any pylon extension, whether up or to the side of any of
their products. The use of pylon extensions can alter the
handling characteristics of the boat, possibly resulting in
dangerous instability, which can lead to loss of control or
a situation which can cause death or serious injury to the
boat driver, passengers, skiers and anyone else who might
be in the vicinity.
Pull-out Cleats
The pull-out cleats allow the cleats to be stowed into the
boat’s exterior when they are not in use. Pull the cleats out
when they are to be used and return them when they are
not in use. DO NOT use the cleats for towing or tying as an
anchoring point.
Lockdown Boat Cover – Optional
The lockdown boat cover is designed to protect your boat
during trailering and short-term storage.
Start by installing the cover from the stern of the boat and
unfold the cover as you move it fore. The cover has a label
