[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 386236, member: 6937"] +1 to that. Make a tow bridle and connect it to the 2 stern eyes. This will equalize the pull of the skier, and keep the boat tracking straighter. If I only connect to one side of the transom of my jet boat (160 HP) when I slalom ski and cut out as far as I can, I'm actually pulling the stern of the boat around, and my driver has to counter-steer for that, as well. Also because it's a jet drive, it doesn't have a lower unit to act like a rudder, so, that makes its handling with a skier behind it much different than an outboard. [/QUOTE]
