Mounting Puke tank to Ski Tow...need suggestions
« on: April 25, 2008, 08:32:41 AM »
Thanks to Forked up for the ski tow for the BBC. If you see my build up page on my sig. I have a mount that I made to mount the puke tank. Well now I want to mount the ski tow and the puke tank mount is in the way. I am trying to figure out a way to mount the puke tank on the ski tow. I have some ideas but am looking for suggestions. I am not cutting the ski tow and welding it back together either. I will cut the mounts off the alum. tank and weld back on what ever clamping system I decide to attach it to the ski tow.
Thanks.
  T.J.

Is there a reason you can't use a through transom tow? They don't make an engine tow for me, so I used one of these.

Speedy,
 There is no room. The transome housing is in the way, plus I do not want any more holes in the boat than I have to.
  Thanks.

Hey Speedy, What does the back side of that look like and where did you get it?   Greg

I have one of those from Dana marine. Again, it will not fit. I will look at the back of it. I thing it is threaded for 5/16-18. I will look tomorrow when I am at my home/shop.

Here you go. This is mine. As you can see it will be in the way of my ski tow. I think I found an idea which won't take much work. I will cut off the bracket I made on the tank and then use line seperators from Billet Specialties. The B.S. hose seperators will mount to the ski tow and then I will have to TIG some .500" round stock to the tank. I will post pics when I get to it.
Thanks.
