  • Page 2 IMPORTANT NOTES FOR INSTALLING YOUR BIG AIR TOWER • The Fusion Tower is designed to fit a hull between 58” and 103” wide. Please measure your intended mounting locations to make sure they fall within this range. • ALWAYS apply a layer of grease to all bolts before attaching to the joining connection (some connections will call out blue Loctite).
  • Page 3 Thank you for purchasing Big Air’s Fusion Tower. Installation of the tower is relatively simple and should take two people 3 to 6 hours. You will need someone to help you measure and assemble the tower. No special tools are needed other than those listed below.

Decide where to locate your tower • The Fusion can face either direction based on your preference. • You can mount your tower anywhere along the boat’s hull where there is access under the gunnel to install the backing hardware.
  • Page 6 • Level the floor of your boat. (typically done using your trailer jack) • Typically it’s best to mark the location for the rear leg mount on the side of the gunnel and wait on the front leg locations. • We suggest you use masking tape to cover the area where you will be placing the mounts.

  • Page 8 Step #5: Assemble Tower Structure (Careful, don’t slide the legs in too far or you may damage the finish of pipe that will be exposed when installation is finished.) • We recommend that you mark each corner with a sharpie marker showing the distance from the end to the corner.

  • Page 11 We recommend that you secure the center of the H-member to the front of the • boat with a rope or strap to help ensure that stays in place and movement is minimal. The marks on the corners you made with the marker will help you keep the H-member centered.
  • Page 12 To lay the tower down 1. Remove the front leg quick release knobs. 2. Lay the tower backwards. 3. Release the set screws on the front leg connections. 4. Remove the socket head bolts connecting the struts. 5. Pull the front legs free. 6.

  • Page 13: Trouble Shoots

    Trouble Shoots: 1. Apply a thin later of grease to all bolts to prevent galling. 2. Use mineral spirits to remove tape residue after install. 3. If screws become loose, use a thread locker such as loctite on the threads to help prevent the bolts from vibrating loose (note: when using thread locker, you should not use grease).
  • Page 14 Drilling Fiberglass Drilling holes in fiberglass bodies and accessories can be very tricky business. If not done properly, you can chip off significant pieces of gel-coated surface or cause spider web cracks. Trying to cut through gel-coat with the shallow rake angle of a drill bit is what actually causes the chipping.

  • Page 15: Wiring Tips

    Most customers choose to drill a hole through their hull to allow the wires to pass through. We recommend using the expandable sleeving through this opening also. Quick release outdoor wiring quick disconnects to pass through your hull can be purchased directly from Big Air.
