Yes it was a little difficult only because I am very anal and there is alot of adjustments but the tower is very sturdy and am very happy with it. My only addvice to you is to take your time and measure before you tighten every thing up and put only one piece on at a time with two people. you will love the finished product.

    That looks great, I have a 1999 Z202 Shebah. Do you know if your tower would work on my boat and would I be able to raise the bimini?

    The tower should work on your boat. As for the bimini it to should fit underneath it. If you would like just measure how high your bimini sits above the floor and I will measure the height of my tower and tell you if it fits. If you still have questions on wether the tower will fit or not just call H2O Wharehouse and they can tell you if it will fit, they have a list of all the boats and can tell you what will work. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions

    That's allright I will get with them but I appreciate the offer. I have been researching them quite a bit and I really like the style of yours but I am concerned about there only being 1 bolt holding each arm down. I have seen others that have 2 bolts per bracket. I do want to get one but don't want to mess up the boat. Thanks for responding and again your boat looks great. I am also thinking about addind graphics. More research...Have a Great week and be safe out there.

    Have you had any problems with your tower shaking in choppy water? I have the same tower and can not figure out how to stop it. I spoke with the tech at Aerial after I sent him some pictures and he thought everything looked correct????? I used plywood for a backing on mine similar in size to your plastic board backing plates. Thanks

    Yes at first I had some shaking but that was before I put the backing on. When I put my backing on the inside I took a grinder and ground down the edges and center so the backing plate would mold to the inside of the boat. I also used two tubes of 5200 before securing the backing plate. What the 5200 does is fill any voids that I might not of gotten when grinding the backing plate. I lightly snug everything together to allow the 5200 to setup and then go back and really tighten everything all together and check all the other set screws. You have to check all the set screws constantly for the first few times that you use the tower,and by then the set screws will have completely seated into position and the towers should be completely secured. Good luck and let me know if this helps.

    The tower looks awesome! I'm a little biased though. It's the same tower I put on our 97 Talari 209. Also thanks for the better backing ideas. Sad to see the season end!

    Does the Aerial wakeboard tower fold down do you can get it in the garage? If so sign me up, I'll get one in a heartbeat.

    The tower does fold down with just a little effort but I have never folded it down as my boat sits outside and under a cover so I havent a need to fold it down
