Re: Starcraft 21' Mariner That's no longer for sale
I just noticed in the vid that you are towing the skier using the cleats. As stated there are a lot of forces at work there. I'm guessing the reason you were looking at and using the cleats is because the current eyes are so low. They are in the what is probably the strongest area of the transom. The wings are the weakest part of the transom and very often are not one piece with the lower transom, but kind of added on. If you look through the threads where the original transom is pulled out, often it is in three parts. Most make a one piecer to go back in. I would look at a ski pole myself. My $0.02.
