Krash handle pole question

[Jeffo]

Hey I just got through my first tank of fuel on a 50 cal. Love this boat!!! So I saw a video of some guy tightening his handle pole up. Since there is no spring I thought it makes sense to do that.
I've been riding mine that way but getting serious arm fatigue. Anyone have experience with skis that have these types of handle poles? I see many of aftermarket poles that are similar.

There should be a spring. Its still a monster heavy pole. the spring mounts in the middle on a standing tab with the opposing side set in the pole's end-cap.

Thanks I'll check it out. I would like it if it would tighten way up and pretty much stay in a position until I move it.

Yeah I found the springs. They aren't too strong or the pole is super heavy. I'm gonna try it loose. I'm sure that will be better.

You will get used to the ski and the pole and you wont even think twice about it.

I loosened it up and all I have to say is why would anyone want it tight? I'm glad I did it because now I know I will never need to try that again.

Its like ice cream. I like it loose and zero grav. But alot of people like it tight for a few reasons including plain preference and no handed tricks. If the pole goes all over on its own its a bitch to find it and grab on before you eat surf. lol

I am not saying one way is the right way, I'm just saying it's cool we got options.
