Rad-A-Cage Tower and Towing
Howdy
2009 LSV with the Rad-A-Cage tower that folds rearward.
Folded the tower for the first time today.
Wondering if it is ok to trailer the boat with the tower folded at highway speeds?
I can't find anything in my manual that states for or against?
I can see that I would need to protect a few spots with foam and secure the short brace portions.
I usually wrap the tower/board racks and have the speaker socks, but it is still a pain in the ass to clean up after a long road trip.
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

I would think that it would bounce too much and would cause much more probs than just cleaning the tower after road trips.

I was told by the dealer we bought our first boat from to NEVER tow it with the tower down.

There's nothing in the boat you can fasten it to in order to tie it down. You'd have to wrap across the tower and around the trailer or parts of it. But, I think if you could keep the whole thing properly tied down it would be OK. I might look into this. My 40 min. tow is right through a swamp that is full of bugs on the way home. Makes a mess to clean off the tower every time. Might start lowering it and looking at where to tie down. If I figure out a good method I'll post it.

supported and tied down and cross tied to keep centered and should be no reason not to.
