How to Use Ski Tow Hooks

The tow hook is a component found on the back of most water skiing boats. The tow hook often features a durable stainless steel construction that easily can support the weight of the skier. You can fasten a skiing rope to the tow hook for endless hours of water skiing fun. The simplistic design of the tow hook can hold numerous types of ropes, including those used for tubing and wakeboarding. Water skiing ropes feature a built-in loop for easy installation.
