We did get the new perfect pass so hopefully that works out good!

love the room up front in an mxz, awesome for kids.

towing tubes from the tower will get some strong opinions -- if you have little kids, i'd say fine.  but if you put a few adults on and really go wild, that's some large forces applied on a long lever arm so you're tower will be stressing the frame quite a bit.  have i done it and been fine on my A24? yes.  did a couple jerky motions make me nervous? yes.  

besides stress on the tower, one of the reasons i actually stopped using the tower for tubing is that between runs the rope is slack and dangling down into the cabin and every once in a while it would get awfully close to wrapping around a foot/hand/bodypart as i'm pulling it taught.  never had any real dangerous/close calls, but it became stressful as the driver to always be policing/monitoring the rope with lots of 1x/yr newbie visiting kids/parents who sit/move all over the place despite repeated instruction (especially wanting to kneel on the back bench looking backwards to yell with their friends and having the rope right between them).

the stern tow point @Shammy mentions is probably better for bigger people who can lean back on the start, and while low tow points may cause the rope may drag through the water, some ropes have that inflatable buoy thing to keep it up.

They just don't make boats that sexy anymore.

Malibu's heyday, in my opinion.

Congrats!

Hum confusing for sure. The gray ones i got  from amazon where correct for many of the gray dongles on my harness the black ones as noted needed to be different and the b is for thermal interlock and water rating the key is black for those differences from what I read in the industry docs... but I could be wrong.
 

the only reason I am point out the confusion is I ordered dt04-pb and got black non b keyed "" connectors... From what I can tell the style **** dictates the inener lock out groves or other mods and a b keyed item is a style of black keyed connector.... type of key can very in the style, as I said I actually bought b  that came with the wrong lock out groves location and had to re order pb with a new sub style.

This link will get you to the b "" keyed in the Same key as the one on the stereo harness you will need two 8 and two 12

Thanks again for the clarity and help. Not sure why some b have groves in one location and others have what people call b keyed and have as noted the location needed for our black connectors.

The Blackfire product looks interesting. Did you use the standard pro, or the Black Edition? Thanks!

I used the black edition
