    tower problem

    So I finally reached 100 hours over July 4th. Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday.

    So I was driving the boat and all of a sudden I heard this banging like something was loose. I stopped the boat and the rider and we saw the Tower was coming apart from the boat on the front right hand side. We pulled open the compartment ans saw the bolt fell off of the tower. So we re bolted the tower. Worked for a while then became loose again. We took a closer look and saw all the fiberglass underneath is pulling apart. WTF! I know you can prolly reglass this hopefully, but just another pain in the butt. I have had this boat since April, and it seems like every 3rd week somehting happens. Im really started to get pissed about this boat. I hope it can get fixed easily, but just another problem with this boat in less than 3 months, and with the boat being in the water for only about half of that. I think this is inexcusable to have so many problems with this boat.

    1.engine bolt broke, almost sank 5 hours (fixed right away)
    2.phat budde board rack came off while riding 5 hours(replaced right away)
    3.speaker bracket broke, fusion sent me new one right away 55 hours
    4.engine rusting 75 hours
    5.speedometer guage fogs up 75 hours
    6.tower fiberglass pulling apart 90 hours

    so mabye its not alot, but its def enough for me.
    sorry had to vent.

        2005 switch I with the 2006 tower on it. I bought it this year brand new with the 06 tower. the 06 tower is alot better than the 05 with the fold down.

            I also forgot to tell you I have stress cracks on my boat on the left rear where the tower is, and also near the left windows.

                the 2006 towers have the quick release rachets to lower the tower instean of the hex nut screws

                  hmmm the fiberglass is coming apart? Hmm... doesnt the lifeplus warranty dictate that an entire replacement is in order, in the event of fiberglass delam or defect? ...Assuming you didnt snag a tree with your rope at 30mph.

                    my bad... that only applies to the warranty and stringer system. Tige has the option to repair or replace the part in question, within 1 year of purchase.

                      nope, no tree its the fiberglass underneath the top, so you have to go underneath the right hatch to see the delam.

                      yeah, lifeplus doesnt cover that.
