What if the dog bites it?C Buchs wrote:After reading through the advice on this thread, here is what I purchased:

I attached it like this.
I don't like that the latch on the hook doesn't close. I need to mess with that. I didn't want to attach to plastic the rudder cleats, but using them as a guide to keep the line off the radar pole starboard side and the light on the port side worked well.

Re: Towing a tube
I ended up selling the X in July 2016 and keeping the S. Bought a Stingray 200lx with the 5.0 V8 in May of 2016. I added a wakeboard tower to it for this summer 2018. What I found was regardless of prop I used on the X I would not be able to get on plane on a kneeboard which meant wakeboarding was out of the question. Clearly others have done it, but they generally use a motor twice the power of my 50hp mercury. Since I keep both boats and the skis at the lake it is almost as convenient as having one boat.
