Re: Need a help
A new member makes a thread asking if his tower is strong enough to tow people. They use BBP backing his tower into his garage as a point of reference. And the best Cobalt Chat can come up with is rational responses about how the tower can tow wake-boarders but not tubers?

Re: Need help - wakeboard tower rope attachment
Yes they got the answer in 1 post then we decided to back boats into garages and barn door's and pull tubers from a tower and crack in a aluminum tower. 1 rule no fishing from tower. It can not be used to hold a green stick.

Honestly when I first read the post, I thought Kasey was just an existing forum member throwing bait out...fishing for a reaction using a new username as a disguise.

Not oil, YT... use turn signal fluid. You can use left TSF or right TSF, doesn't matter.
Be sure and fill it from the bottom.

And be sure to pick up a bottle of prop wash to help get any bugs off of it.

Hey A7 can I just use dicing agent instead of winterizing and shrink wrapping my boat.

Re: Need help - wakeboard tower rope attachment
I’ve had four 200 pounders (conservative) on a 25 pound 4-person tube. That’s 825 pounds. Now submarine that baby...at speed...with a side load. An increased submarining force estimated at 2,000 pounds against the tower is conservative imho. It’s also a reason they use a 4,000 pound breaking strength on a heavy duty towable rope...(to not break —even under a worst case scenario).
