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 Addict 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 in-
side. This allows you to move and adjust the tubes without scratching the surface. But please use caution when sliding the sections together.
Keep the masking tape in place through the nal 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 dierent and improvisation is needed to mount your Addict tower on your boat.
We advise you to have your tower mounted by a professional who has experience in boatconstructions and mounting other towers.
All hardware is to be hand tightened. Do not use air tools or electric drills to tighten hardware.
Tower is designed for one rider at a time. Do not tow tube riders or multiple riders with tower.

A friend to help
First decide if you want to do a top mount or a side mount.
Step 1
Cover the area where the mounting brackets (a) will be placed with masking tape. This should
be done at all points where the tower will contact and the near surrounding area. This will help
prevent scratches to your boat while adjusting and measuring your tower attachment points.
Step2
First assemble the mounting feet on the bottom bars. You will not be drilling any holes in the tower at this point.
TIP: You can use Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline®) to grease the rubbers of the tower leg joints to prevent the rubbers from drying and it helps to insert the tower
leg joints easely.
Always apply a thin lm of Anti-Seize lubricant on all the male threads of the stainless steel hardware. This prevents the stainless steel hardware from galling
and locking. Frequently check/tighten the screws regularly before use.
