SKI TOW

[dingelbarries]

I am looking for suggestions on how to install a ski tow rigging on my Tri-Mate II without having to blast any holes in the fiberglass. I dont have a problem with putting holes in the floor plywood for the mast but how should I install the supporting posts? Does anyone have any suggestions or pictures of their set ups? I would really appreciate any input. Thanks, Barry

I installed a tri-pod set up on mine. 3 holes is all thats needed. The pole and leg's are removable when not in use. I looked at the mast type that mounts into the floor. i looked at this before I installed the new floor. I can to the conclusion there just is not enough depth in the floor to support the forces of pulling a tube or skier. So I mounted it to the deck. I have pictures on the home computer that I can send ya.

Here are some pictures of the boat with the pole installed. Had some during the first install when the boat was in primer. Just don't know where I saved them.

I installed mine the same way and I'm wondering what you put to line the hole behind the splashwell. I can't find anything that works well.

The support braces on mine are adjustable, There are 3 raised sections on both sides of the rear. They are the ones painted black. I just measured to the center of and a set distance from the back. Worked well.
