Ski/towable pole for CVZ19?
« on: December 10, 2018, 02:44:38 PM »
Hi everyone,

I am getting to the point on my CVZ 19 that I need to start shopping for the little details.  My boat does not have a ski pole.  What kind would you recommend?  I like the looks of the single pole but don't know which one I should get or whether they are strong enough for towing.  I ski slalom and am a big guy (6'2" 225.) 

I haven't measured the height of the motor above the back part of the boat.  Some of the pics I've seen looks like the ski pole to only be about 12" coming out of the back deck.  I have a Mercury Black Max 175.  Anyone with a CVZ or CVX outboard have a suggestion?  Thanks!!!

Well, that is what I want.  Too bad the add is so old and these kinds of things are not available anymore.  Thanks for sending anyway.  It's always great to look at the "stuff!"

It's from the "Carlson Parts Catalog"

I’d bet the cv23’s (at least mid 80’s and newer) have the same pole. Might be able to find one on a parts boat.

That catalog is really cool.  And yes, the parts boats idea is a good one.  I will look and see.
Thanks,
Chip

Just for reference here how the bar attaches on a CV23.

With an outboard you need a pylon that is tall enough for the rope to clear the motor. I would look at one of these adjustable height pylons so that you can have all the height that you need without any extra.

I have a Swivl Ease pylon in my CVX-17. It's mounted thru the rear deck, to the floor behind the bench seat. I remove the two support arms when not pulling skiers. Mine is a fixed height model and I think it's 45" tall. It just clears the V6 Merc outboard. The rear support arms mount to the deck.

Thanks for the info guys.  Basically I will need to but all the gas tank and other stuff back in place behind the back seat to find out where I can mount one of these if I'm going to cut a hole in the boat.  My Baja 16ss has a tri-pod ski pole that the previous owner had manufactured just for that specific boat that works great. Maybe I need to look into that also.  Either way.... Thanks!
