What is a turbo swing and what do I use it for?
A turbo swing is a specially designed tow point that you mount around your boat's outboard motor. It provides a sturdy and smoothly rotating suspension point for a tow line, making towing a fun tube, wakeboarder, or water skier much easier and safer.
Thanks to the rounded shape and roller system, the line moves freely with every turn your boat makes, giving you more control as a driver and a more stable and enjoyable experience for the athlete behind the boat.
A turbo swing behind your boat is mainly used by water sports enthusiasts who regularly go tubing,wakeboardingor water skiing behind a RIB, console boat, or other boat with an outboard motor. It's the ideal solution when standard mounting points aren't strong enough or the motor is a nuisance.
