An adjustable heel assembly for a water ski binder in which the component parts of the heel assembly are united in functional relationship relative to one another without the aid of additional mechanical fasteners. An elastomeric heel member is cooperatively interlocked to a base member which is slidably and adjustably disposed between a pair of side rails. The base member is adjustably connected to the side rails by a selectively operated lock mechanism carried by the base member. The heel assembly and the side rails are spaced from the ski so as to allow fluid to flow between the components of the heel assembly and the surface of the ski and thereby prevent the buildup of debris therein.

A heel assembly for a water ski binder comprising a pair of opposed side rails having elongated grooves therein, a base member slidably received within said grooves of said opposed side rails, said base member being generally bifurcated having two elongated channel members with opposing slots formed therein, wall means uniting said channel members and defining an opening therebetween in said base member, at least one lug means integrally formed with said base member and extending therefrom adjacent to said opening in said base member, first locking means carried by said base member for selectively locking said base member to said side rails, a heel member having a heel-engaging portion and edge portions, said edge portions being slidably received within said open channel members of said base member so that said heel-engaging portion extends outwardly through said slots, means formed integrally with said heel member for engaging said lug means on said base member, and second locking means on each of said edge portions for interlocking with said channel members, whereby said heel member is secured to said base member without additional fastening means.
