Installation Guide
Operating under the theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of headaches, here is some useful information that will
prevent any scratching during the Wakeboard Tower assembly.
As you are taking the arms and top center section out of the box,
place masking tape strips around the top conjunction sections of the
tubes that slide inside. This allows you to move and adjust the tubes
without scratching the surface. But please use caution when sliding

Keep the masking tape in place through the final assembly step,
then, after drilling, remove the masking tape and your surface will be
perfect.
Note that this installation guide is only a guideline. Each boat is
different and improvisation is needed to mount your tower on your
boat. We advise you to have your tower mounted by a professional
