Waterskiing/ Towing mount for Whaler

We do lots of waterskiing and other watersports on it, but we also encounter the problem that the rope is held to close to the water. The harness clips onto 2 metal loops on either side of the engine on the transom. We've been looking desperately for a mount or other way to lift the rope out of the water further. We have seen other people with whalers using some kind of mount that keeps the rope out of the water. Does anyone here know of any solution to this? If there is a mount or something I can buy where can I buy it? Thanks for the help. Edited by Joe Kriz on 07/13/10 - 5:24 PM

This is only example as you need one for your model. http://www.premiumpowersports.com/Swi...p-143.html And by the way, you have a Montauk 170, not a Montauk 17.... http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...lbum_id=34 The Montauk 170 was made from 2002 to present...
