Exterior Equipment
Using the Ski Tow Fitting or Pylon
The tow fitting or pylon are designed for pulling
one or two averaged sized skiers or wakeboarders.
Always use high quality tow ropes with attachment
loops when pulling wakeboarders or skiers. The
tow rope should always be attached to the ski tow
using the attachment loops and never tied to the
ski tow or to any type of metal hook. Tied ski
ropes are very difficult to remove and metal hooks
will damage the ski tow and the fiberglass around
it. Additionally, metal hooks can cause injury to
your skiers if the metal hook 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 fitting
and pull the handle side of the rope to tighten the
loop around the tow fitting. 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.
Stern Storage Compartment
(264FS/264FSX/264FSC)
There is a large storage compartment located
on the port side of the transom forward of the
swim platform. A 12 volt light activated by the
Cockpit Light switch at the helm illuminates the
compartment in some models. There are straps
that hold ski ropes or mooring lines on the side
of the compartment.
The compartment drains to the bilge and is
equipped with “dry deck” padding to allow for
better drainage and air circulation in the com-
partment. A drain rail around the hatch channels
water away from the compartment and overboard
through a fitting in the hull side or to the swim
platform.
A gas spring holds the hatch in the open position
and a push to close latch holds it closed. Always
make sure the hatch is closed and latched before
operating the boat above idle speed.
