The towers are designed with practicality, aesthetics, and the consumer in mind. 2-3/8 in. tubing is used to provide additional strength and stability to enhance the performance and functionality of the tower. The larger diameter tubing also allows for the possibility of four wakeboard/surfboard racks to be mounted (two on port side, two on starboard side).
Page 64 The tower must be supported when Roll-Locs are released, or the tower can fall into the boat injuring passengers or damaging the boat. Rotate the driver’s seat to avoid damage from lowering the tower. AISE OWER Lift the tower and rotate handles toward the back to lock into place.

Page 76 ATTERY PTION OOKUP Skier’s Choice installs a 4-position battery switch on any boat equipped with dual batteries. It is recommended that both batteries be fully charged between each use to insure they can deliver the electrical demands required for each outing. The purpose of our recommendation is to utilize one primary battery for all operational needs, and have the other as a backup if the primary battery discharges.
Page 77 Be aware that if position “1&2” is selected, both batteries will drain power at the same time and could leave you stranded due to weak batteries. NOTE: It is recommended that you fully recharge your batteries using a battery charger periodically or after a period of high discharge (running many accessories for an extended period of time).
