Attach all bases to the legs using the M12 x 35 bolt and the Quick Release
Knob. Run bolt and knob through the Heim Joint into the Swivels. Hand tighten.
Bases will now pivot and swivel on the Heim Joints. Loosen the jam nut on the
Heim Joint so the base will pivot along side of the boat (parallel to the boat center).
IMPORTANT: Large portion of Bases should face toward the front of the boat to
ensur
e that the legs do not contact the bases when tower is folded.
The base swivel can be mounted with the M12 x 35 bolt either toward the inside
or outside of the boa
t. For easiest access, we recommend mounting the bolt head
toward the outside. Position the tower “Face Up” over the taped area on the deck. Pivot the tower upright to determine if the
location is to your liking. Adjust location if needed. You may want to try a few mounting spots to make sure you have the best
possible location for the tower when folded down. For example you may want the tower to rest on the sun deck or the back of the
rear seat. It is important to look under the deck where all four bases will mount to make sure there are no wires or other
obstructions, and to make sure there is a at surface for the base plates. Many boats have foam oatation under the deck that must
be removed to mount the Below Deck plates. Also, avoid stringers and wiring channels when determining base locations.

With the tower upright position, position the BACK BASES to have maximum contact with the deck. Hand tighten the
swivel to the bases and the jam nut on the Heim so the footing remains stable on the deck. Adjust the width of the legs at the top
section to achieve maximum contact. After you are sure of the location of the BACK BASES, mark the locations on the tape.
IMPORTANT: Double check the distance from the back of each base to the rear of the boat (or other reference point) to make sure
they are positioned in the same location on each side of the boat. This assures the tower will pivot smoothly front to back.
Locate the bases on the deck.
7B
Attach the BACK BASES to the boat.
Detach the Back bases from the legs and take them apart for mounting. IMPORTANT: To assure correct distance between front and
back bases, you will rst attach only the Back bases to the boat. Make sure the large end of the base is toward the boat’s FRONT.
Go to the section - “Attaching Bases to the Deck of the Boat”.
8B
Locate and Attach the Back Legs to the deck.
After bolting back bases to the
deck, re-assemble both back
swivels on bases. Using the
M12 x 85 bolt, washers and
Nylock Nut. Using M12x35
attach the swivel to the
Heim on the tower. Hand
tighten so the swivels stay
in position.

Check Front Bases & Quick Release Knob
Front bases should still be attached
from step 5B. Pivot tower upright
so the base contacts the boat.
Position the base to sit at as
possibleon the boat. Hand
tighten the swivels. Mark
the location on the tape.
10B
Double check Location and Attach both Front Bases to the boat.
Return from “Attaching Bases to the Deck of the Boat”
11B
Re-assemble both Front Bases to the boat.
After bolting the Front bases onto the boat, re-assemble FRONT bases as shown in step 9B. Pivot the tower upright and secure the
tower by using the Quick Release Knob. Run it through the Heim into the swivel. The tower now stands by itself.
Go to step 12 - “IMPORTANT -Final Adjustments and Locking”.
Pivot the tower a few times making sure the Front bases have good contact with the deck. Mark any
location dierences and adjust as necessary. Detach only the Front bases from the swivels and take
Front base assemblies apart for mounting. Leave Back Bases attached. When attaching the bases, make
sure the large portion of the base is toward the front of the boat.
