Just wondering when you put your tower down for say the weekend do you lay a 2x4 across your bow to hold the tower up, this is so you can lower your canopy and raise the boat up? Also would a person be able to crawl under the canopy to get into the boat when boat is raised and canopy is lowered?

We just put the throwable cushion that is reqired to be in the boat in Minnesota between the tower and the bow. When the tower is down the boat will tuck right under th canopy and keep the rain and sun out. There is plenty of room to move around under the canopy when the boat is down you can't stand up but you can finish getting any life jackets and ropes that you forgot. When the tower is up we can just miss the frame of the canopy, we use a bungy to hold the flap of the canopy up so the ski hook doesnt hook it (again). Our main concern is keeping the sun out so it dosn't fade the paint. We had a burgundy runabout without a canopy and it was pink when we sold it,the sun does a lot of damage.
