Default Installing a ski pylon

I am considering installing a ski pylon in my 19 foot bow rider that is
outfitted with a 115HP outboard. The pylon would have a center pole and

two
supporting poles. Are these difficult to install?


If you can get access to the spot where you need to install it, no, it
should be easy.


On most of the boats I have owned, however, it would have been a real pain
in the ass. Figure out where the mounts go, then see if you can manage to
reach up behind that spot to put a backing plate on and thread a nut onto a
bolt. You may need to get a wrench in there too.

Sometimes it is handy to be (or know) a really skinny contortionist.
