Tips for lowering '05 tower solo
We're looking at a house w/ a 3-car garage that the boat could fit in. I tried lowering the tower on my '05 LSV to measure the height, and it was a serious chore for me to do by myself. My previous boat had a Monster tower that folded to the back of the boat, and that was much easier.
Does anyone who owns a pre-'06 LSV or pre-'09 Outback have any tips that make this easier? The problem is that at the peak, the top of the tower is so high, there's just really no good way to support it to keep it from crashing down.
I also have a problem with my tower mirror. It's mounted in a spot so that the tower can't lower all the way on the front of the boat. Anyone have theirs mounted in a place that's out of the way? Or do you just have to remove it each time when folding the tower down? I hope not.
