Exterior Equipment
To use the ski tow pylon, insert it into the base and
push down firmly to seat the pylon all the way into
the base. When skiing or wakeboarding operations
are completed, remove and properly stow the pylon.
The tow pylon is 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 tow fitting on the top of
the pylon using the attachment loops and never tied
to the pylon or to any type of metal hook. Tied ski
ropes are very difficult to remove and metal hooks
will damage the pylon and could damage the engine
cowlings. 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 on the pylon
and pull the handle side of the rope to tighten the
loop around the fitting. This procedure will attach
the rope securely to the pylon, 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.
CAUTION
THE ENGINE COWLINGS WILL HIT THE TOW PYLON IF THE
PYLON IS NOT REMOVED BEFORE TILTING THE ENGINES.
THIS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COWLINGS
AND PYLON. ALWAYS REMOVE THE PYLON WHEN WATER
SPORTS ACTIVITIES ARE COMPLETE AND BEFORE TILTING
THE ENGINES.
Trim Tabs
The trim actuators and planes are mounted to the
hull at the transom and controlled by a switch panel
at the helm. Refer to the Helm Control Systems
chapter for additional information on the trim tabs.
Docking Lights
Located in the hull sides on each side of the bow.
These lights provide lighting forward of the bow
while docking or maneuvering in tight quarters at
night. They are activated by the Docking Lights
switch in the helm switch panel and should only be
used during docking, mooring or anchoring situa-
tions. Never use docking lights while cruising. They
are not legal for night navigation and may obstruct

the visibility of the bow navigation lights to oncom-
ing vessels.
Underwater Lights (Optional)
LED underwater lights are mounted in the transom,
below the water line. The lights are activated by the
Underwater Lights switch at the helm and should
only be used when the boat is in the water with the
lights submerged.
Bow Eye and Bow Plate
The bow eye assembly includes a stainless steel bow
plate that protects the hull from scuffs and scratches
from the trailer bow roller. Whenever possible, the
trailer bow roller should be adjusted so that it is
positioned on the plate, just below the bow eye.
