Catapult Wakeboard Tower
Installation Guide
Operating under the theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of headaches, here is some useful information that will
prevent any scratching during the Wakeboard Tower assembly.
As you are taking the arms and top center section out of the box,
place masking tape strips around the top conjunction sections of the
tubes that slide inside. This allows you to move and adjust the tubes
without scratching the surface. But please use caution when sliding
the sections together.
Keep the masking tape in place through the final assembly step,
then, after drilling, remove the masking tape and your surface will be
perfect.
Note that this installation guide is only a guideline. Each boat is
different and improvisation is needed to mount your tower on your
boat. We advise you to have your tower mounted by a professional
who has experience in boat constructions and mounting other
towers. All hardware is to be hand tightened. Do not use air tools or
electric drills to tighten hardware. Tower is designed for one rider at
a time. Do not tow tube riders or multiple riders with tower. Contents

Tower mounts 1set
Step 1
Cover the area where the base mounts will be placed with masking
tape. This should be done in all areas where the tower will be
mounted and the near surrounding area. This will help eliminate
scratches to your boat while adjusting and measuring your tower
attachment points.
Step 2
First assemble the tube joints on the bottom bars. You will not be
drilling any holes in the tower at this point. TIP: You can use
Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline®) to grease the rubbers of the tower
tube joints to prevent the rubbers from drying and it helps to
insert the tower tube joints easily.
Always apply a thin film of Anti-Seize lubricant on all the male
threads of the stainless steel hardware. This prevents the stainless
steel hardware from galling and locking. Frequently check/tighten
the screws regularly before use.
Step 3
Use the semi-assembled side-bar to determine the correct position
on the boat. Bear in mind the height in the boat, the windscreen
window, additional tower accessories, wiring etc… When you have
determined the correct position mark the position on the masking
tape using the mounting brackets. !Make sure the tube joints are
mounted completely level (on a flat spot)
! TIP : start +/- 20cm in front of the windscreen to determine the
correct position. This for possible mirror mount on the tower.
Step 4
After marking one side you can mark the other side using the
mounting brackets. Make sure to mark the deck mounts on the
direct opposite of the boat using fixed points of reference on the
boat.
Step 5
Keep in mind you are going to be placing backing plates and need
access to fit a wrench to tighten the nut on the deck mount bolts on
the inside of your boat. Before drilling inspect the inside of these
locations for obstructions such as wires or cables. You are now
ready to drill the holes. When drilling in fiberglass first use a pilot bit
size 6 than a drill bit size 14. After drilling the 4 holes, it is
recommended to countersink the holes using the countersink bit,
this prevents the gelcoat from cracking.
Step 6
IMPORTANT: When the BOAT DECK is less than 1cm thick we
strongly advise to reinforce the mounting bracket with wood or
fiberglass cloth which is at least 1cm thick.
The reinforcement should be as big as possible. This prevents stress
on the boat which causes the gelcoat to crack. WARRANTY DOES
NOT COVER: Any cracks or other damage to the gelcoat or boat
because of mounting the tower. Snug the bolt but do not fully tighten
at this point.
Step 7
Install the bottom bars with the MOUNT SET. All feet are swivel and
can work with various mounting angles. Be sure to mount the
bottom bar vertical. When you fail to mount the bottom bar vertically,
you will not be able to fold the tower. Snug the bolt but do not fully
tighten at this point. Remove the Bottom bars and Tighten the 4
Mounting Brackets. Reinstall the bottom bar on the Mounting
Brackets and tighten the bolts.
Step 8
Firstly connect the 4 front bars to 1 left and 1 right, then assemble
one front bar on the Mounting Bracket. Snug the bolt but do not fully
tighten at this point. Slide the taped bar into the Top Cross bar.
Beware for scratches. Keep in mind that the tow point need to be
facing towards the back of the boat. Slide the second front bar into
the Top Cross bar and attach the front bar on the other mounting
bracket. As one person holds the tower assembly you can now
assemble the rear bars.
NOTE: When you have a narrow boat you probably need to
shorten the Top Cross Bar to make the tower fit to your boat.
You are now ready to square up and center the loose assembly.
Have someone stand in front of the boat and determine that the tow
point is centered and the tower arms are symmetrical. Make
necessary adjustments.
Step 9
Drill through the predrilled holes in the center section from each side
with size 10 drill bit and install bolts and cap nuts. One person will
still be stabilizing the tower through this step. Tighten all hardware
for completion of tower installation.
