    pulling tow tube

    Hi,,all.
    Simple question.
    I heard that it will not be so good for the health of your motor if you pull one of those towable tube or ski with the bass boat.
    I see bigger and heavier ski boat with less motor do that all the time.
    Is it true? If so why?
    I have to explain this to my wife.
    She thinks that I'm just making excuses so I don't have to cut down on my fishing time

    Re: pulling tow tube (darider)

    I don't think pulling a tube will hurt your motor, as long as you use the proper pitched prop for the operating RPM of your motor. There is a good chance that it will be a different pitch (probably smaller) than your prop for fishing.

    You will need a better excuse than that, your DI motor will pull a tube all day long with no problems.
