TYPICAL POWER TOWER SHOWN IN FULL FWD.
TILTED POSITION
SUNSHADES
ZIPPED IN BOOTS
Remember that the width (beam) of this vessel is normally
too wide for highway towing. Check your state laws and
regulations before attemping to tow this vessel. Special
permits and equipment may be needed.
For highway towing the power tower shall be in the
complete forward position and all canvas shall be in their
dedicated boots. All attached canvas bow hardware shall
be checked for tightness before and after towing. Cockpit
carpet shall be rolled up and stored in a dedicated cockpit
locker.
Located at the starboard fi rewall bulkhead (bow end of
bilge) is the power tower actuator control box. The pur-
pose of this device is to provide overload protection for
the port and starboard actuators that move the power
tower forward and aft (see the illustration).
In addition, the control breaker protects the up and down
wiring circuit to the dash for the power tower circuit.
If a breaker “pops” be sure to determine the cause of the
malfunction before resetting the device.
