kfennell Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Jsut an FYI to everyone because of something I saw at the masters. Please DON'T put both loops on the pylon, pull the longer loop out of the way and just have it so the shorter loop is touching the pylon. f you have the longer length in behind the shorter, then when the skiier loads the line the rope will move out of the way and you can feel a little snap in the line. Just a thought for next time you are a boat judge or a passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfennell Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Its making me so mad to see it every time they show the rope on the live video, someone talk to the boat judge!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted May 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2015 Knotless ropes for the win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 You can still screw it up with a knotless rope, the new intow is pretty hard to get wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted May 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2015 How can you screw up with a knotless rope? There is only one way you could put my Radar rope on a pylon.

kfennell Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Yeah with that kind you can't, I was thinking of the first Masterline knotless that still had a big loop, on both ends, that one is the same as the intow that I said you can't get wrong.

Baller Marco Posted May 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2015 @oldjeep - I use that type of rope as well. One thing we do is slide the loop that is just inside the boat (the one attached to the loop on the pylon) to the side, so when the rope is under load, the load is not on the end of the loop in the boat. By sliding it to the side when you put it on, you will save wear and tear on the loop in the boat. Hard to explain, but easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted May 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2015 Honestly mine is only ever used at a full 60ft, but good advice if I ever get closer to the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted May 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2015 absolutely true! I have been on the handle end of that before and it really throws you off when you think the rope is about to break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted May 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2015 @oldjeep one screws up by putting it on just exactly the way you see in your photo. With the pylon going through and the longer section at the front and touching the pylon. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
