    2004 24V Tower Sway

    Does anybody have any suggestions for the side to side sway or wobble that comes in the stock Tige Tower? I've thought of having some custom welding done with some extra supports but not sure I want to pay that much. I've checked all the bolts on the tower. I've checked the bolts underthe fiber glass on the mounts. The wobble has caused some spider web type cracks ine the fiberglass on the top.

    Which tower do you have, the Metcraft/Tige or the 1st gen Tige "E" (not sure if it came out in 04 or 05) with the billet Tige uprights?

      I'm not sure how to tell what kind of tower I have. It has the board racks at the top of the sides and it says Tige on the mount portion of the board racks.

        Sound like you have the tige metcraft tower.

            I have a wicked 'wobble' on my tower as well. Checked all the bolts and everything is tight. I just live with it...

            Not sure what tower I have, but this is it...Hope this helps.

              Yeah, thats it Waterskirebel. Mine is just polished alum. though. I'm thinking I'm going to need to have some welding done to tighten and spiff it up a bit. I don't want anymore hairline mini cracks in the fiberglass.

                We have the Same tower on the 2005 24V. Thanks for the heads up. Does anyone else have the cracks from this tower movement?

                  No cracks for me with the same tower. On my old boat I got cracks when I overtightend the tower. Actually the wobble is not that bad for me.
                  Let it be!!!
