Ski Pole (Optional); Canvas (Optional) - Quicksilver Activ 675 Open Owner's Manual

Quicksilver 675OP — System & Component Overview and Operation

17. Ski Pole (optional)

Your boat may come equipped with an optional ski pole for water skiing. To use, remove the ski pole
deck plate, located on centerline in front of the motorwell. The ski pylon slides into the deck plate and
connects to the ski tow base, located in the bilge.
The ski tow deck plate has rubber O-ring gaskets to minimize the amount of water that could
potentially enter the bilge. Quicksilver® suggests that prior to installing or removing the ski pylon,
spray water on the ski pole to help slide it through the deck plate.
When the ski pole is not in use, Quicksilver® recommends that you store the pole in the aft bench
seat, and screw down the deck plate.
The ski pylon is only used for water skiing or wakeboarding. If you are tubing or engaging in other
recreational towing, Quicksilver® recommends that you attach the tow rope to the stern eyes at the
transom of your boat.
Ski Pole
The deck plate is a downflooding point. When the ski pole is
not in use, verify that the deck plate is properly installed.
Failure to do so may result in injury or death.
Only tow water skis or wakeboards. Do not tow parasails,
kits, or other boats. Do not tow more than two persons at
one time. Use caution with skier in tow as rope may snap
back into cockpit when released. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in injury or death.

18. Canvas (optional)

The optional canvas consists of a bimini with frame.
Bimini
When not in use, the bimini can be stored in an aft position where it does not interfere with the use of
the boat. In this position, always make sure that the bimini is secured in the canvas boot. To use the
bimini, remove the canvas boot and rotate the two bimini frames forward and secure the bimini
straps to the deck trail. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR BOAT WITHOUT THE BIMINI STRAPS ATTACHED TO
THE DECK.
Remove the ski pylon from the base before raising engine to
trailer mode to avoid any damage to the engine cowl.
