Hello ~ I have a 2018 Freedom 307. Being away from the boat right now, does anyone know the diameter of the OEM Ski Pylon? Thanks in advance

Aren't they tapered? What part are you wanting measured, not that I have one? I see you have 3 posts here on GW, so welcome aboard. You probably didn't see the posts a year or so ago, where a couple of guys were unable to remove their ski pylons, despite extreme measures, and ended up sawing them off. My advice to anyone having one would be to remove it if you still can, coat the threaded end with an appropriate anti-seize, and screw it back in. You may still have time on a 2018.

Thanks for the reply ~ The top is tapered leading up to the top (ball). I’m looking for the main shaft diameter as I’m wanting to clamp on a rod holder on it . I’ve had it removed before, I just never measured it. Not a big deal as I’m heading back to FL later this week and can measure it then.
