Waterski Pylon Pros and Cons
What is a Waterski Pylon?
Everyone who has bought a boat envisages themselves doing water sports and teaching the family to ski and having weekends full of fun. Lots of specifically designed towing boats will already have a tower or a pylon for high towing because that is the main use of that type of boat. But most people, especially if this is your first boat, can’t afford a tournament ski boat or want to see how they find the experience before investing a large amount of money on a boat.
A waterski pylon is a fantastic yet cheap way to make the most out of your boats skiing capability; As well as making getting out of the water from the skiers perspective much easier.
A waterski pylon is an essential addition to your boat(as well as a Wakeboard tower). These pylons offer a high towing point not only for waterskiing but for towable tubes and wakeboarding, whatever takes your fancy. Our waterski pylons are very simple to fit and offer an adjustable height range to suit your needs.
What benefits do I get from a Waterski Pylon?
A waterski pylon can offer you a lot of advantages over towing a skier or a tuber from another point.
- Firstly the higher towing point creates less drag for the boat meaning that performance and turning will be improved considerably, which will also use less fuel as an added bonus.
- The high towing point on the pylon also makes getting out of the water on a pair of waterskis or a wakeboard much easier for all ages.
- A ski pylon will facilitate jumps for a good wakeboarder giving you some real air time. So, this piece of kit can offer you some good progression from beginner to adept.
- This pylon is also great for keeping the rope away from your propeller, an essential safety feature. There is no need for a tow bridle with this set up as the rope will clear your outboard with ease.

Hello, I have a 2001 sea Ray 210 and do not want to invest in a wakeboard tower but would very much like to gain the height for playing with toys on the water. Do you have a wakeboard pole that would work for me?
Hi John, yes we have an Adjustable Water Ski Pylon which might work for you https://boatworld.co.uk/xcite-adjustable-water-ski-pylon
I have an old 1992 Winn Sundowner 195 and want to ski and wakeboard behind the boat. Do you have a pole that works? We have a 200hp outboard.
