Abstract
An automatic ski rope rewinding device is presented used to rewind a ski rope when the rope is not pulling a skier. The invention utilizes a standard rope or cord rewinding mechanism which is mounted by L-shaped brackets to the body of the boat. The rewinding mechanism and rope are encased by an outer, waterproof casing. A water removing gasket facilitates removal of water from a rope being rewound and a loop near the attached end of the ski rope is used to directly attach the ski rope to the boat cleat when pulling a skier.
