Watersports for boats without a ski pylon

Accon Marine 198 Ski-Tow

Nov 14, 2023

For owners who want to use their boats for watersports but don’t have a dedicated pylon, the 198 Ski Tow from Accon Marine is ideal. Flush-mounted on the transom, it provides a secure spot to attach a tow rope and is a far better solution than putting strain on a cleat or chock.

The 198 Ski Tow is designed to accommodate all standard tow rope diameters, without having any part of the fitting protrude and create a snag point. Solidly constructed, the patented four-piece assembly includes the polished main body, a backing plate, sealing cup and a gasket.

Measuring 3.5″ L x 3.5″ W x 1.25″ D, the 198 Ski Tow is simple to install with common household tools. Owners simply drill a 2-1/2″ and four pilot holes in the transom and attach the hardware with 1/4″ screws. Originator of the Pop-Up® Cleat, Accon Marine manufactures a full line of innovative flush-mounted deck hardware, lifting cleats and navigation lights. www.acconmarine.com.
