Stowing the ski pylon when not in use

Post by RobT »

Boat is a 2009 242. I'm looking to see what others have done to stow the sky pylon when not in use. In my previous 282, there was a fitting under the port side aft seat that the pylon would lock into (it appeared to be made of starboard or a similar material). My 242 doesn't have such a means to stow it and otherwise will roll around in the locker or under the port side seat.

Has anyone fabricated a means to secure the pylon, and if so, what did you use for it? I'm leaning towards using a router on a block of coosa or starboard, but curious what other ideas are out there. TIA.
