Ski Pylon

Recommended Posts

I am hoping to remove my permanently mounted ski pylon and replace it with some sort of telescoping or removable ski pylon.  I have a 2002 Malibu VLX similar to the boat in this picture.  Any suggestions? 2002-malibu-wakesetter-vlx-zsznsx.jpg

The Malibu v-drives made from 2005 & on have the retractable pylons on them. I'd start calling dealers & see if anyone has a new or used one on hand available.

There are also wrecked boats sold. You can find them by searching for terms like "salvage malibu boat auction".

Heres an 08 with a pylon that is scheduled to be sold soon.

Good luck.

I just removed mine and plugged the hole.  Any skiers on my boat (very rare) attach the rope.to the tower.

a rope on the tower? Would be fun to see if I could flip your boat;)

I have seen this... don't think I'd want to spend this much though.  I've seen a boat company, Bryant Boats, that makes a removable ski pylon but I can't find it for sale anywhere.
