 Topic: center mount ski pylonPosted: January-14-2008 at 4:30pm |

I am going through the process of stringer replacement on my 62 Classic and I would like add a center mount ski pole but not sure how it mounts to the stringers. Does anyone have any pictures? Do I need a specific type of ski pole for this boat?
Thanks for your help Eric |

Eric, The pylon would mount to the keel and then to the fiberglass deck section between the cockpits. There is just a hole in the floor. There are several Classics in the diaries. I'll see if I can link you to a picture showing one. If you are at the stringer stage, don't worry at this time. Are you doing a original restoration?

This ring and finger I fabricated from stainless duplicating the original as close as possible. You may end up having to go that route. |

Brian,
Thanks for the pic's. I am not doing an original resto because I am missing about all the hardware and I have only 1 half a winshield. I emailed a member who had one broken a while back. I was hoping he would still have the half I needed. If not Taylor Made will do. I really would love to have a picture of how the pylon mounts to the keel. All the pictures I see just show it going through the center section. Thanks |

Eric, On your 62, I feel the arrangement is a 1" dia. main pylon shaft that goes into a short section of 1" pipe with a flange that is glassed to the keel. A cross drilled hole in both for a bolt to hold both together.
