Unless you are teaching someone a deep water start, use the lower pull point.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that is a tow point on the back step. I believe what you are referring to on the the back step is a retractable lifting ring.

My 2011 210 didn't have a low tow point.

My 230 has a retractable tow point on the rear step.

Remember the 230 was originally a 236 and was designed as a do it all crossover. Turned out if you added weight you could get one of the best wakeboard wakes of that era and thus the 230 was born.

My 2011 210 didn't have a low tow point.

I thought it doubled as both?

Maybe I shouldn't have compared the 210 to the 230 because it may be completely different.

Having said that, I have towed a tube from the rear lifting ring on my 2011 210 but it wasn't ideal. The sharper edges of the lifting ring definitely caused premature wear on the tow rope.

I love having the low tow point on my GS20. I can't believe it's an option and doesn't come standard on a cross over boat.

This is what my rear lifting ring looked like in the retracted position. Not the best tow point for sure. Sorry for all the pics. Fat fingered my phone.
