1. There are channels in the lap joints for wires
2. These channels are designed for the speaker wires and navigation light wires to be ran through
them
3. Yes where the tube in the main frame steps down for the clamp it is hollow. At the very bottom
of the tower about 2 inches up you will drill a hole for the wires to exit the tower
4. There are couple ways of getting the wire through the tower:
First option is to use a wire fish, and fish the wires through.
Second is to use a vacuum and suck a light piece of string or rope through.
Then tape the wires to either the fish or the rope.
The Aerial wiring harness comes with a deck fitting for the wiring to pass through.
Tower Light
As of January 1st 2010 all towers must have a 360 navigation light at the tallest point, in this case we
have integrated an USCG 2 mile certified light.
The wires for this light will be ran down through the tower and tied into 360 navigation your boat
already has.
Important Tips and Considerations
The biggest tip we can give you is to "measure twice and cut once." There's no actual cutting involved,
but you get the idea. Before you drill the first pilot hole into your boat's hull, be 100% positive it's the
right spot and you've double checked with your tape measure. Second tip is to plan and execute the
EXACT same steps for drilling and installing port and starboard. This is especially important for
determining where you drill and mount the feet. Having offset mounting feet will result in a wakeboard
tower that is off-center and askew. When determining the final drilling spots, use existing features or
hardware on the boat to start your measurements(like the base of the windshield, rub rail line, etc.)
then repeat on the opposite side(assuming they are located in the same spot). Third, open the box(es)
your tower was shipped in and do an inventory to make sure no parts or hardware is missing. We take
extra care to make sure everything is packed in, but it's a good idea just in case- that way if a part is
missing of defective, you can contact us to send out a replacement before you begin. Put them all in a
safe and uncluttered spot where they won't be lost until you are ready to begin.
Here are some other things to consider for your wakeboard tower installation:
Have All Tools and Material at the Ready
•
Remember to create a list from the "tools needed" section and have them all ready before you
start. If you want to chamfer after your drilling, add that bit to the list. Have a set of socket
