I have a 2003 22v and my pylon is mounted to beefy steel brackets, the brackets are bolted to the same stringers as the engine. I think the new pylon mounts started in 2004, unless Tige started it in late 2003.

On the newer boats the ski pylon is for looks only.
Use it and loose it. Might as well use one of the window brackets for towing.
It's merely bolted through fiberglass!
Mine will be removed and hole glassed over.

Ok, looks like I'll try the transom rings for the tubes. If you don't use a self-centering sliding harness and you're just attaching it to one of the rings (like xpjim1), what's the best way to attach the rope so you don't have to pull the whole rope all the way through the end loop every time? Is there a simple connector with a clip for the transom ring?
Thanks.

Did I upset you. My kids are 17 and 19. They love to board and tube. Tubing is fun. We will be surfing next trip out.
I was trying to eliminate buying 2 surfboards as kids are quite a bit smaller than me. Guy in boardshop basically told me i would not be surfing.
We will see what happensLet it be!!!

Its Thursday, Nicky is always grumpy on Thursday.....its not the weekend yet.
Tubing rocks.....we have a ride the bull contest every weekend. He who lasts the longest takes the trophy. Yes there is a real trophy, but it is never in my possession!"I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are just details"

Naaa, just stirring the pot. I am anti tube though.
1) Dangerous.
2) No skill needed.
3) Destroys the water for everyone else.
4) You have a Tige. Come on.
I should say that I do own a tube. It hasn't seen the light of day in three seasons.
I'm completely out of line coming on here and bashing tubes and tubers. Everyone is well within their rights to enjoy tubes. I have put some huge smiles on faces with tube rides. I have also put some people in serious pain with tube rides. For that reason most of all, my tube sits in a corner gathering dust.
I'm stepping off my soapbox now.You'll get your chance, smart guy.

1) Dangerous - you haven't seen me on a wakeboard!
2) No Skill needed - don't tell my daughter, she is the tube riding champion
3) Destroys the water for everyone else. No one is left on the lake, they cant handle the whitecaps from the wind.
4) I have a Tige -- That is why I can tube. It handles rough water better than any other boat. I want to be on the water, not on land!
Its all in fun. The main thing is that we all enjoy our Tige's.
We will not tube around good water. If good water is around, we will be boarding!!
I ussually have grumpy Wednesday. Its hard being back at work after 10 days at the lake.Let it be!!!
