Towing 4 Tubes

don

20i should be just fine.

its not necessarily the normal towing that is the problem. Its when you whip someone out of the tube and the tube flips over and starts plowing water. Its like sticking a huge "water brake" in the water.

When that happens just make the mistake I did yesterday. Throw the boat in Reverse. I only did that because my 6 year old nice and her dad were on the tube it flipped over on them and she was stuck in the tube up side down in the water. By throwing the boat in reverse it left the tube close enough to her dad to swim to it quickly and get here out and it took the boat and tube out of motion. Luckily it did not hurt the boat this time and I hope I never have to to that again. That was SCARY for all of us. Tubes have always scared me. As for my nice, well she thought it was funny and fun even though she could'nt breath under water.

haha, damn kids. They laugh, and the rest of us have a heart-attack.

At least she laughed about it. If that were my youngest, she would never go in the water again.

Do i have the panzy one also, It looks like its mounted onto the tracking fins.

Moffat, whatever you do don't get the harness that slides from one side to the other. This contraption completely defeats the purpose of tubing which is to whip the living daylights out of the passengers. I can't remember the name of it but it was made by airhead.

Agree

What about us who have the tow hooks on them?

Someone questioned the strength of the '06 grab handle. Did not mean to imply all.

[MRMoffat1]

What is the reason for NOT pulling multiple tubes from the center pylon? We pull 3 and 4 tubes at a time from pylon for years now. I just found out that my tower isn't safe what is wrong w/ my ski pylon.

I pulled 4 tubes for years on the pylon with my '99 2100V Limited. They have a warning sign on '06 pylons to only tow one skier or (I think) 1 tube.

Or, you could go like this...

2) Don't trust grab handle with anything but pulling yourself out of the water.

Look at the way the grab bar is installed on your Tige.
On my Tige it is held in with 4 bolts and a mounting plat across the back.
My grab bar is as strong if not stronger then the tie down rings.

Thanks, that is nice to know. I was disappointed in the tower. I know I will have to replace it now.
Thanks

A couple mid-air pics in the middle of this string. One of the guys in our group was throwing rolls and 3's over it.
