Watersports Tow Point (211 only)
The watersports tow-point (pylon) is manufactured from high
strength aluminum alloy, engineered for durability. It is “hard coat
anodized” and impregnated with a PTFE (teflon) material. If the
pylon becomes loose, stop using the pylon and take the boat to your
Nautique dealer for service.
Although pylon extensions and barefoot
booms have become popular additions to many
tournament inboards, Correct Craft strongly objects and
opposes the use of any pylon extension, whether up or
to the side of any of its products. The use of pylon
extensions can alter the handling characteristics of the
boat, possibly resulting in dangerous instability, which
could then lead to loss of control, a situation which
could cause serious or fatal injury to the boat driver,
passengers, skiers and anyone else who might be in the
vicinity of such a mishap.
CAUTION
Misuse of the tow-point can cause death
or serious injury. The pylon was designed for water
skiing only. DO NOT use for parasailing, kite flying,
towing other boats and / or using pylon extensions, sit
behind (aft) the pylon when towing skiers.
