Wakeboard Tower Maintenance
•
It's a good idea to regularly break out the tool set and retorque the tower and make sure
everything is tight and secure. As previously mentioned, wakeboarders transfer a lot of energy
and movement to the tower which can loosen fittings over time. This is true for any wakeboard
tower even a factory installed one. Quick debunking: You may have seen videos online of
wakeboard tower "shake tests" where the tower looks very wobbley- it's the result of improper
maintenance or an improper installation to begin with. For some of the videos, we would even
go as far as stating that some were filmed and anonymously posted by a specific manufacturer
trying to hurt the reputation of others. They all show a lot of excessive movement at the heim
joint, leg joints, top section that can only result from purposely loosening bolts.

Planning on installing
Make sure you have all the wiring you need. For the cleanest looking installation, you will want
to run all the wires through the inside of the tower. Planning and executing this step now while
the tower is unassailable is ideal. To keep water out of the tower's tubing, many customers use
rubber grommets available at any home improvement store. For more great tips on how to wire
your tower, feel free to give us a call.
Factory Folding Biminis
•
If you are hoping to use your existing folding bimini with your tower, be aware that depending
on the tower you choose, where the bimini is installed, the bimini dimensions, and where and
how you install the tower, it might not work. Most customer can use their old bimini no
problem. Many, opt to upgrade to an
folding bimini, we can't give you a guarantee but you may have options that could give you
enough extra width or height to allow your bimini to clear the tower frame. Since our towers
have an adjustable width and the mounting feet swivel, your bimini might still work. It just
requires a little more planning and measuring.
