Roy-This is not a Whaler-specific answer, although someone here may have one for you; it is also not an Outrage 17-specific answer, as my Whalers so far have been two Montauks and currently an Outrage 22. BUT, having lead off with that apology, I still think you might gain some useful knowledge from an Overton's catalog, or cruise over to their site on the web:
http://www.overtons.com
Overton's is a boating catalog that specializes in water skiing, while touching on a lot of other things for small boats and trailers, etc. I know I have seen water ski pylons and brackets there, don't know if what they have will work in your outrage or not.
Good luck,
Kingfish
