Wakeboard Tower and Accessory Installation
WAKEBOARD TOWER CARE & MAINTENANCE
Check to be certain all bolts on the wakeboard tower and any racks or accessories are tight and in place before each use. Do not use the tower if bolts are loose, missing, or the tower shows cracks or other signs of stress.
Inspect welds for cracks. Do not use the wakeboard tower if welds are cracked. Contact the dealer or manufacturer that sold you the tower for what to do with cracked welds.
Repaint welds periodically with matching metallic paint.
Apply Anti-Seize to all removable bolts such as handle bolts to maintain ease of removal for folding the tower.
Apply a small amount of baby oil with a soft cloth to add shine to the tower.
When folding the wakeboard tower, be sure to have help from at least another person as accessories, especially speakers, greatly increase the tower's weight.
When the wakeboard tower is folded, you may want to use a cushion or towel under the ski tow/tow spool or any speakers to protect your boat's gelcoat or upholstery.
PROPER WAKEBOARD TOWER USE
A wakeboard tower should be used to tow a wakeboarder or skier only. Not for use with inflatables or other towables.
Do not tow more than one (1) person at a time from a wakeboard tower.
Do not use a wakeboard tower for towing parasails, kites, tubes, inflatable towables or other watercraft.
Do not jump or dive off a wakeboard tower.
Do not climb on, hang on, or sit on top of the tower at any time.
Do not allow passengers to sit behind the rope attachment point when the wakeboard tower is in use.
Check to be certain all bolts are tight and in place before each use of the tower.
Accessories may increase the weight of the tower. Do not fold tower without assistance.
Do not use the wakeboard tower if bolts are loose, missing or the tower shows cracks or other signs of stress.
When using a wakeboard tower, watch for low bridges, overhanging tree limbs or power lines that may come in contact with the tower.
Use of a wakeboard tower may affect the boat driver’s vision and lines of sight.
Improper use may overstress the tower, imbalance the boat, or allow the tow rope to contact passengers which could cause injury.
INSTALLING YOUR UNIVERSAL WAKEBOARD TOWER
By its nature, a universal wakeboard tower is adjustable to fit various boat widths, lengths and windshield placements. Unlike other universal towers however, the XTP X-CHANGE and EDGE can accommodate more variances in width and length so you get a great fit.
General Wakeboard Tower Installation
Detailed and complete installations instructions for each universal wakeboard tower will accompany the tower when it is sent to you. With the help of a friend or two and some basic tools, you’ll soon be on the water enjoying your new wakeboard tower. If you are not comfortable with drilling into your boat, or just want some professional help, contact your local boat dealer. Use the search tool on the left menu to search for a dealer near you.
X-Change - With 3 ways to set up the X-CHANGE Universal Wakeboard Tower, you can find the best way to fit the tower for your boat. If your boat is wide, you can set up the legs for the widest clearance. If your boat is long, you can choose a configuration to ensure you create the appropriate height. With three options, you almost can’t set up this wakeboard tower incorrectly, making the installation worry free. We’ve thoroughly tested each configuration to ensure its structural stability and strength.
Edge - The EDGE also has an adjustable fit but through a different header design than the X-CHANGE and with only one configuration. The basic measuring and installation is similar. |
INSTALLING WAKEBOARD RACKS
No drilling is required for wakeboard rack installation. Just determine where you want the racks to be on you wakeboard tower and use a hex wrench to secure the bolts. Racks can be repositioned after attachment to your tower. XTP wakeboard racks will include installation instructions.
INSTALLING WAKEBOARD TOWER SPEAKERS
When you add speakers to your wakeboard tower you can choose to run the wires through the tower leg and out an exit hole, or you can just zip tie your wires to the outside of the tower leg. With the latter, the wires could be ripped or pulled unintentionally during normal tower use. Therefore, with your XTP tower speakers, we will send instructions as to how to accomplish a bit of magic by pulling the wires through the tower leg.
