Hello,
New Bennington owner here. 2015 22' SSRX tri-toon (with express tube) and Mercury 115. I've read a couple different threads on here about pulling tubers and I've seen different opinions as to where to tie off. I have the ski-bar on the back deck but I'm not sure I can pull a tube from it. At the boat show a few weeks ago I saw several other manufacturers with these bars and some even had labels on them stating NOT to pull tubes. When I asked why I was told that if the tube went under it could put too much strain on the bar and bend or even break it. Now my bar has no such warning label and I've even seen on this forum where Bennington says it's OK to pull a tube from there. But at the same time I've seen recommendations NOT to tie off a tube there...but rather use the attached U-bolts on the rear (not even sure if mine has them but I'll check). I would like to hear the opinions and experiences of the Bennington owners on this forum. Where do you guys attach your tubers? I only plan to use a 1-person towable...nothing to big.
Thanks,
Marc
