Unlike surface-mounted hardware, this stud-style design passes through the transom itself, distributing towing loads across the mounting surface rather than relying on screws alone, making it a solid choice for pulling skiers, tubes, and wakeboarders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is formed from AISI 316 stainless steel rod, a grade chosen for its resistance to corrosion in saltwater and freshwater marine environments, so it holds up to repeated exposure without rusting or pitting over time. The tow features a 3\/8\"-16 NC thread and compact overall dimensions of 2-1\/2 inches by 2-1\/4 inches by 2-3\/16 inches, keeping it low-profile against the transom while still providing a secure attachment point for tow ropes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a standalone stud-style ski tow and does not require the additional flush-mount hole cutting that Sea-Dog's flush mount ski tow designs call for, making it straightforward to install on transoms that can accommodate through-bolting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 371631-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transom Mount Ski Tow, Stud Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formed 316 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8\"-16 NC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension B:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension C:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension D:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stud style, bolts through transom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514371032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a universal transom-mount ski tow and is not restricted to a specific boat make, model, or engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 371631-1 ski tow made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is formed from AISI 316 stainless steel rod, a corrosion-resistant grade suited to saltwater and freshwater marine use, which is what the Sea-Dog Transom Mount Ski Tow (371631-1) is constructed from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this ski tow mount to the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 371631-1 is a stud-style ski tow that bolts through the transom, which provides maximum holding strength compared to a surface-only mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread size does the 371631-1 ski tow use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses a 3\/8\"-16 NC thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Sea-Dog 371631-1 ski tow?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 371631-1 measures 2-1\/2 inches by 2-1\/4 inches by 2-3\/16 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this ski tow weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog Transom Mount Ski Tow, part number 371631-1, weighs 0.58 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this ski tow suitable for towing skiers and wakeboarders?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the stud-style design of the 371631-1 is intended for towing skiers, tubes, and wakeboarders from a transom-mounted tow point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this ski tow rust over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, because it is made of formed 316 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant grade, the 371631-1 ski tow resists rust in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 371631-1 ski tow require cutting a hole in the transom?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a through-transom, stud-style mount, so installation involves bolting through the transom rather than the hole-cutting required for Sea-Dog's flush mount ski tow style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sea-Dog 371631-1 the same as the flush mount ski tow?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 371631-1 is the stud-style transom mount version;
