Is there a telescopic/collapsible ski pole for a 2015 Hurricane SS 188?

I just purchased a 2015 Hurricane SS 188 that is equipped with a ski pole. The boat is being stored in my garage. The ski pole has to be removed each time I put the boat in the garage due to the low ceiling. Instead of removing it every time, is anyone aware of some type of telescopic or collapsible ski pole that doesn't need to be removed each time. Thanks in advance!

You could try a Turbo Swing.  They look pretty easy to install, and would not need to be removed as they are behind the outboard motor.   I am thinking of getting one next season for my SS 188.  They are much more versatile than a ski pole as they can also be used for tubes.

My 2015 SS 203 has a collapsible ski bar, it was a factory option, I love it, just drops down out of the way, here's the only pic I could find of it, I don't use it for tubing but had it hooked to it here in the no wake zone and had the Bimini dropped for a low bridge.

Thanks for the idea Garrett! I'll check them out.

How did you remove the pole (I have the same issue on my 2015 118 OB)? I couldn't figure out how remove the pole to get it in my garage.

I removed mine to fit in the garage as well.  Remove the rear seat, then the access cover, it's accessible easily through there. I don't use the pole so I mounted a piece of PVC pipe (with a cap on it) in the hole/mount of the pole so there's not an empty hole.
