Can a 220's ski pole be converted to a pop up?

RE: another pic

Did our project die?

[sjames]

Any life in this idea?

doesn't seem to be enough momentum to get a machinist/fabricator interested.

Glad to see this thread is still alive!

I'll work on getting some 3-D CAD images of the design out to whoever is interested & we'll see if there is enough of a demand to support a first run of them!

It sounds like the target price is under $300. I will see what I can do!

As a note, I have a few Super Deluxe Barefoot Boom / Extended Pylon Mounts in stock & ready to ship!

Hit my head again

Yes still alive love to see some cad I can even send you my pylon if you want to mess with it as a proto?

[sjames]

Any luck with the 3-D cad or further ideas?

Revive this thread?

Anyone out there have any luck? I tried looking into the Nautique original pop ups but I don't think they retrofit well to the 220's

Slammed my head yesterday on mine which is why I brought this back up

I'd be interested for my 2004 SAN 210

I'm also tracking with this thread for a popup pylon for my 2004 210 SAN! Would love it if we could do a group buy!

I'm in at around this price range for my 2007 SANTE 220.

Ok let's breath life into this. We are all tired of our poles(that sounds wrong) anyway who has the desire to craft something up. The Malibu design is simple but we need to get an oversized tube to place the stock one in and make some cuts to a bolt that can slide once we twist and lift.

A possible suggestion is to see if you can find the rear lifting ring of the new 200 Sport (not sure if it's on anything else). It recesses like you're asking and pops up and has an appropriate rope 'ring' for skiing off of. Don't know if it'd work but I think it'd be worth a look instead of fabricating something from scratch.

Ok pole is out of the boat now...... 8" diameter. Need to find a larger ID pipe and see if I can get a channel cut in it for a bolt to slide, thread a hole on the current pole put a SST bolt in, cut off 6" and see if it works. Stay tuned............

[sjames]

Made progress today got the sleeve installed and the original pole cut down more to come......

[GoBig]

I'm really interested to see how this turns out, especially as a DIY project. This is something I've thought about doing for awhile...

[sjames]

slot's cut by local machine shop and cut off pole tapped..... more to come
