2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
• Slowly stand the tower back up, keeping an eye on the wires and
ensuring they don’t get pinched.
• Make sure that both tower feet/hooks are all the way to the back
of the groove. If they are not, the hand knob threads won’t be
aligned.
• Get one hand knob started and threaded most of the way in.
Note: If the threads don’t start easily, it could be that the tower
is in a slight bind. Back off the hand knob or lightly bump the
tower/foot to free the bind before continuing to tighten.
• If you have two (2) people, starting and tightening together
is easiest.
• Start the second hand knob and tighten until it is snug.
• On the other (original side), put a moderate amount of forward
pressure on the tower header while torquing the hand knob
tight.
• Repeat the previous step on the second side. Note: These last
two steps are important to ensure that the tower does not come
loose during operation.
• A small push or bump with the palm of your hand should be
enough to fully disengage the locking clip
• Be careful not to push/strike the tower hard enough that it falls
on you. Very light pressure with your other hand on the upright
should prevent this from happening. Too much pressure will
possibly prevent the clip/foot from sliding and disengaging.
• Repeat on the other side.
• Remove tower from the boat.
If desired, the locking hook can be stowed in the tower mounting
base.
• Push the hook forward in its groove, until it will fold sideways
towards it stowed position.
• Collapse the locking clip in order to completely stow.
Installation is essentially the reversal of the removal, assuming
the hook is stowed:
• Collapse locking clip and rotate out of the stowed position.
• Spring load will push the hook to the back of its groove. Note:
Take care that you don’t pinch your fingers!
• Place tower in front of the hooks in the upright position.
• Pull each tower foot back into the hook.
• Rotate tower back to hook up navigation light.
• Connect the light wires.
• Feed all of the excess wires and connectors below the deck
through the access hole.
• The remaining wire should be straight.
