Pop up tow hook on speedster 150

[hancop]

Anyone afraid that this might bend ?
I was pulling a 3 person tube on the weekend and would only allow 2 kids in it at a time as I was afraid the pop up tow bar might bend. Tubes have a lot of drag so not sure if the pop up tow bar can handle it. Has anyone done a lot of pulling of 3 person tubes behind their speedster with this bar ? I used to pull 3 people with by RXT-X 255hp from the tow eye on the back and never had any issues but am having a really hard time trusting the pop up tow bar.

Thanks

I am not sure what the breaking strength of the ski pylons are, but I understand your concern. I have never pulled more than 3 people with mine. There have been some threads in the past about this, and some have made stronger replacements for this very reason out of thicker and some solid stainless steel tubing. You might consider buying a stronger replacement.

Search the threads for 'ski pylon' and you will find lots of threads on this. Here are a couple that you might find interesting:

I have pulled a three person tube with mine and haven't had any issues.

I have towed 3 younger kids (total weight around 240 lbs) many times without issue. I pulled one adult and 2 kids over w-end (total weight around 300-320 lbs) and did not have any issues.
