ski pylon...where to attach a rope for tubing?

JohnnyBravo · **Posted:** Tue Apr 14, 2015 11:35 am

I was looking over the Axis brochure and it listed ski pylon under miscellaneous.

I'm confused, does that mean the ski pylon to tow tubes or skiers is an addon for additional charge or is just listed under misc but its standard equipment?

You save $170.00 if you take it off. If you take it off they replace it with two cup holders. i just hated to take it off so mine is coming with one.

So if I'm ever forced by my family to pull a tube then I'd have to order a ski pylon.... :cry:

What about the grab handle?

Ski pylon has a cup holder on each side. If you opt out of the ski pylon there's 3 cup holders.

Ski pylon is an option. This is a wake boat...not a ski boat so it's not standard as it would be in a DD boat

I've been told to use the ski pylon only but I know some use the grab handle. I'm not sure what Axis would say. I remember a discussion on the Malibu site and everyone argued back and forth on where to attach a rope for a tube.

I'm gonna ask dealer tonight and see what he says.

Could always get a tow harness and use the transom tie downs. They lift the boat with those tie downs at the factory.

thats an interesting thought.

I see they even have a self centering so the stress is on both transom:
