There was a post sometime ago about the availability of a Ski Tow Pylon. It needs to be the 1.77 size with a short 3/4" pin. If any one has one they do not need please let me know.
Thanks for the use of the board!

I just posted one if it works for you. Mike
Friend has one from his 191. I'll see if he wants to get rid of it.

Might have one brand new in box.
I'm not sure which exact ski pole brand/model you're looking for.
FYI: my ski pole (ordered in mid 90s) has warning label - do not use with permanently attached equipment tied to rope. failure to do so may cause injury or damage.
Just a heads-up if you were planning on pulling kids on tubes or similar.

I have read several times that you should never tube with a ski pylon. Something to do with stress on equipment. Instead, for tubing, use a harness with a small float in the middle fastened to the tie down thingies on the back of the boat. Pylon is intended for skiing, not tubing, the articles said.
Just in case….
Do not pull a tube on that pylon at all... they are meant to be pull on the rear tie down u-bolts with a harness. Even in the SX boats will rip the mount out of the deck, too much drag and there is no need for the elevated tow point.
Pulled tubers with my Champion’s for many years 20 plus!!! ALL with pylons never one issue!! I pull a BIG MABLE with multiple riders.The elevated tow point keeps the tow rope out of the wake. Transom eyes are to hold her down while towing!!! JMHO and experience!!!
Going by what the factory said…
