I would like to purchase a "video tracking attachement" for my cam corder which mounts on the PYLON. It's not clear if it will fit on a NAUTIQUE 1992. Could someone give me their opinion on this product and if it will fit?

I run a 92 Nautique in UK and purchased a P3 Video Trakker last year.
I does fit the pylon but I have foud the following problems when in use.
As the arm tracks across the engine box you have to take great care that the bottom of the 'U' that the rope slots into passes well clear of the engine box cover, or you will find as I did that after one pass you develop a wear line that in a very short space of time will rip the vinyl.
The bracket that attached to the pylon could do with being longer as it only just fits below the rope, this would also raise the tracking arm away from the engine box.
apart from that when it works it gives a great picture, just ensure you have a wide lense option on your video or you may loss the skier at the turns.
Hope this helps
