How much weight can my Wake Pro 215 ski pylon pull?

[TaxDude]

I just purchased a 2009 Wake Pro 215 with the pop-up ski pylon. I know I can pull my kids on a wakeboard, but I'm interested in pulling them on a tube...which is heavier with three kids on it than pulling 1 kid on a wakeboard. Does anyone know the weight limit for pulling something using the pop-up ski pylon.

As an aside, I'm looking to pull kids weighing, in total, about 300 pounds plus a Big Mable tube (about 35 pounds?).

Thanks!

The pylon doesn't need to be up to pull a tube...in fact....I've only pulled tubes with the eye hook.

Be careful with the big mable, I have one and my brother in law was pulling it behind his fish/ski with a very well built sky pylon, and he tossed me and his kid off the Big Mable and then when he went to whip a 180 to come and get us, the rope got slack and the tube was upside down, well the rope got tight again it pulled the tube under water and broke his ski pylon in two and threw everyone on the boat forward. I can promise you it would tear it off on the jet ski as well. It should never be a problem if you keep the rope tight, but be careful.

I have broke 2 ski pilons and had them replaced. Now when I pull tubes I pull the pilon up halfway and pull the rope under the black handle behind the pilon then go over the pilon handle and slide it so it's over the aluminum outer shaft and pull from there. I have pulled a 6 man tube with 6 people on with no issue.
