Hello Everyone , last summer season I bought a Scarab 165 G and love the boat however I have an issue while pulling tubers they are getting sprayed in the face pretty bad and makes it almost not enjoyable , looked into adding a wake tower but from reading some discussions doesn’t seem the best idea , I currently have a booster ball but that hasn’t helped much , getting frustrated and looking for some advice

Thinking maybe I get this harness , it should add another 10-12ft rope but any ideas will help greatly thank you!

Sadly, jet boats/PWCs are not great for this. Solutions that can help are the booster ball, longer rope with the booster ball, and another interesting one is to tie a large matt to the stern of the boat that covers the jet wash.

Generally people go with the longer rope and possibly a booster ball when it gets that long.

Towers are NOT meant for tubers. There's a lot more force than skiiers and it can break. There many warnings about this in manuals and online everywhere. So keep the tower for skiiers/wakeboarders.
