ABSTRACT:
A water ski tow assembly is provided which incorporates a two-way communication system between the skier and the operator of a towing boat. The communication system includes a first microphone/speaker unit mounted in the towing boat and electrically coupled to an electronic amplifier, and a second microphone/speaker unit mounted on the tow line. Appropriate wire leads are threaded through the tow line electrically to interconnect the second microphone/speaker unit with the amplifier. The second microphone/speaker unit is mounted at the junction of the hand lines with the tow line to be held in position in front of the skier while the skier is being towed by the towing boat, so that without further effort the skier can communicate with the operator and vice versa. The second microphone/speaker unit is mounted in a floatation housing, so that in the event of a spill, the second microphone/speaker unit will float in an upright operative position so that the skier and the operator can still communicate with one another.
