2015 270 sundeck wake tower

[NVERL8]

Looking at one of these boats and it has the wake tower with what appears to be a hinged bolt on the front mount and a bolt on the rear. These fold down by just removing the back bolts correct? Not sure if it will fit without that.

From memory... I don't think it's a bolt (if it the original one, anyways). Isn't it just a quick release pin?

I should have taken a pic while I was there. Definately a bolt but seems like you could change that out for a threaded handle for quick removal. Just curious if anybody has done this

There are a couple different factory towers for that boat. Here is a picture of mine. The rear pin is a quick release, 3/4 turn to loosen, and it pulls out, then the tower folds down towards the windshield. Saves about 2' of height only.

This one looks like this. Two horizontal bolts in the back and one bolt through a hinge in the front.

That's an aftermarket tower. No way to tell you how to fold it from that picture. But it shouldn't be hard for you to figure out in person.

But if it folds fwd, it doesn't look like it will fold very far before hitting the windshield. The OEM tower would have been mounted further aft to sit "inside" the windshield. I suppose you could do some girations with the bimini and fold it backwards?

Found the tower, page 15 of the parts manual, but it doesn't show if it lays down. The manual is at https://www.searay.com/us/en/owners.html
