ABSTRACT:
Ski tow assembly for being secured to the transom of a boat. The ski tow fixture has an elongated vertically aligned body. Legs at the opposed ends of the fixture body secure the fixture to the transom. The body is further formed so as to define an elongated generally elliptically shaped opening through which a tow line is inserted. The tow line is coupled over a finger that extends diagonally upwards toward the transom from a small tap attached to a lower part of the fixture and that projects inwardly toward the transom. The assembly includes opposed rails that are mounted to the transom that are coupled to the opposed ends of the fixture by ears that extend outward from the ends of the fixture.
