Any advice on where to purchase a slalom ski rack for a 2015 Mojo with the standard aviator tower?

Check Only Inboards in their accessory area.

When I was thinking about buying one, I found that I needed one with forks that were far enough apart to stretch from the toe of my front binding to the heel of my rear. My bindings basically butt up to each other heel/toe so that I couldn't get a fork in between them. I found a LOT of the ebay slalom racks weren't long enough to accommodate my ski, and I've got TINY feet!

The one that I liked the best was by Monster as it had a quick release just like their tower mirror mount. I thought that was pretty slick. That's the one I'd buy if I had the money.

I had the one from Monster that Trayson is speaking of. It worked great and I would recommend it. Mine went with the Supra when I traded it in. Wish I still had it.

I've got a 2014 LSV with the OZ HD tower, and I opted for a pair of the Skylon fixed ski racks that I mounted above my lower OEM swivel board racks. I believe Skylon makes the OEM racks for Moomba, and I've been very happy with them (I can fit 2 slalom skis on each rack and still not hit the board in the lower rack)

I have a Skylon rack for 14 years and it is the same as the Airboom shown. I had to replace the O ring rubber once as it got mashed down over time.

I appreciate all the feedback. I'm going to call our dealer to see if they have theses racks and tower mounts in Stock.
Thanks again.

Paul, does the aviator tower have the fixed tower mount? Assuming this is for the top?

If so, check out the Roswell Elite Waterski Rack at Overton's

I had a Samson Ski rack on my last boat and sold it to a member a couple years ago. Great Rack and had the old oval Rad-a-cage tower bracket.
On new boat I went with Skylon due to a quick release knob and matching my board racks. Both are great products and stoutly built. However I don't store my slalom ski in them as I usually have it in a bag in the observers compartment and use the racks for the wife's skiis :)

Yes, the aviator tower has the fixed tower mount. The Roswell Elite Waterski Rack should work. I'm going to call overtones to confirm it will work with my tower.
Thanks.

I ask because that was the route I went on my fixed wake/surf racks vs the $950 + tax they were going to run

I called Overton's to determine if the Roswell Elite Waterski Rack would bolt onto the OZ HD tower. Unfortunately, I don't think it will work as the Roswell rack has a 4 bolt configuration, while the tower three bolts.
I also called Skylon and they are sold out until October. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Thanks.

This was the Skylon I have been using since 2002. it appears to be under another manufacturer name. Not sure of the mounting on your boat. It has a pin to remove the rack and a set screw to keep it tight.

Skylon is out of stock. Onlyinboards drop ships from the manufacturer - no inventory.

Wakemakers carry's skylon.

Wakemakers sold out of Skylon. Perhaps old school slalom skiing is making a comeback. I'll call Roswell Marine tomorrow because Overtones' rep might have given me bad advice.

Yeah, I didn't realize you had the OZ HD.
