Sport Tower
Your Manitou may be equipped
with a sport tower. The tower
should be in the raised position
most of the time, including during
towing. Some circumstances,
such as passing under a low
bridge while on the water or
fitting under a lift at a dock, may
require lowering the sport tower.
The tower is lowered and raised via the digital display. The top is
designed to be open when operating at speeds less than 45 MPH.
CAUTION
If a sport tower is present on your Manitou, note
the following:
• The tower must be in a raised position during
towing.
