 Topic: 1978 Ski Nautique Pylon/RingPosted: November-08-2011 at 7:30pm |

Hi everyone,
I'm in the market for a sky pylon and/or ring for my 78 Ski Nautique. The previous owner cut the ring off with a hack saw for their fly high. If anyone knows of a pylon that's from a '77 - '83-ish SN, I think it might work for me. If anyone has an extra ring, I would be very interested in taking that off your hands as well. The brass insert from the previous ring is exposed, so I may be able to boar out the soft bronze from the pylon, tap out the pins on the pylon and insert the new ring. I realize that replacing pylons is a difficult and arduous job because of how the different metals bond with each other, but if anyone could lend a hand, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!! John |

Tap the plug now while it's in there so you can get a fastener in there to remove it after you punch out the pins. Good luck finding an affordable replacement ring/finger.
N3 makes a replacement knob style insert, like the newer pylons that allows an extended pylon to slip over. Search ebay or craigslist for a used extended pylon, they're all over. |

Thank you for the info. Helpful advice, so I appreciate the reply.
I would love to get a ring/finger on there, to keep as original as possible. The know style insert on N3 would be great, but I would prefer the nostalgic look. |

Thanks. Just sent you a text. Hopefully I can verify that it will work/fit on a 78 SN

Like I just posted in the other thread, a Barefoot Nautique pylon with the flange will not bolt cleanly into a Ski Nautique... the bilge is much deeper on the BFN due to the deep vee hull.
I did propose a trade with Karen (and John) though, as I wouldnt mind that BFN pylon for our '79... I have a Ski Nautique pylon that I could give up for it. |

Hey cajunnautique,
Great to talk to you last night. I think I will take the pylon and the boom off your hands. But first, if you could send pictures to johnpambianchi@gmail.com, I would appreciate it. I will give you a call tonight to discuss in more detail. |
