Ski Pole Mounting on Montauk 17

The only way there seems to be able to mount these is horizontally through the hull. Can anyone who has installed one please advise the best mounting points? Thanks Frankhttp://www.overtons.com/modperl/produ...amp;r=view

I have a 1998 and the mounting bracket that goes on the floor might have the screws go into the tube. It would depend on the spacing of the screws for the floor plate.

Consider a post that will mount the face of the splashwell. Many owners use a short bridle from the existing two stern eyes.

This way you do not screw hardware through the rig tunnel. You will need to mount the round base plate of the pole to the square plate, using flush head bolts facing up, with nut and washer. Mount the horizontal supports right next to the stern interior eyelets. As background, Boston Whaler used a mounting plate installed on the floor with the optional ski pylon that was available on the Super Sport Limited 17 model. I personally would not install the kit you chose because it is designed for installation using backing plates. The kit also has structural limitations and will reduce your stern area use on your Montauk. A bridle attached to the exterior stern tow eyelets is the best way to go on a Montauk 17.
