Airhead Tow Demon Tow Harness, 1 Rider, 12 ft Steel Cable, 1500 lb Break Strength (AHTH-7)
The Airhead Tow Demon (AHTH-7) is a 1-rider tow harness built around a vinyl-jacketed steel cable, designed to give recreational boaters a quick, centered attachment point for towing water skis, wakeboards, kneeboards, and 1-rider towable tubes. A high-impact molded plastic float and pulley system rides along the cable, letting the tow rope slide freely to keep the pull centered behind the boat rather than fixed to one point. Ski ropes, wakeboard ropes, and tube ropes attach easily to the pulley, and the whole harness connects to the boat's tow points using two large, corrosion-resistant snap hooks with a 7/16 inch opening width. This 12 ft steel cable version offers reach for a wide range of recreational boats, and the coated cable construction resists abrasion and corrosion from repeated exposure to water and sun. It is rated for 1500 lb break strength, matched to 1-rider towing applications, and is intended for recreational water skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and towing 1-rider tubes behind outboard and stern drive boats. The Tow Demon is a simple, durable upgrade over fixed single-point tow ropes, reducing wear on the rope and giving the rider a more consistent pull.
