Board Racks Coming Loose

[MoneyPity]

Hope you don't want to keep your take that off anytime soon. It is going to be a biatch when you need to.. IMO, you should have used Blue Loctite.

Well the good news is I used the blue bottle.

Thanks for the heads up.

I wish I had read this thread earlier. One of my racks felt in the lake.

Now I am in the dilemma on how to replace it. We lost our Tige dealer here in Utah, does anyone know where I can purchase a single arm for my 2007 RZ2?

Would it be part of the warranty?

That would depend on when your racks were made. You can also PM majestic and see if he has the forks for his racks still.

Well, this thread was referring specifically to the new Alpha-Z tower racks...but sorry to hear about losing yours.

Regarding a dealer - you were the one that posted about Fred's Marine taking over the Utah territory: http://www.tigeowners.com/forum/show...ht=utah+dealer
Are they out already, or just too far away to deal with smaller issues like this?

Did you just lose a fork, or the bolts holding the forks to the swival failed? I have extra forks, and may even have the whole fork asm, less the swival.

Yes, I just lost one of the forks. How much you want for your fork?

A little sloppy when used for a wakeboard, but I guess it works in a pinch.

I much prefer the lower placement of the Samson rack (also the mechanism). I am still running one Samson rack and one stock rack. I will buy another Samson as soon as they offer a triple (wake/surf/wake), like the Crypt racks.

From the above pics, the basic mount and swing mechanism on the Tige stock rack has not changed.

Just an update on my board rack that flew off on the interstate. That happened back in June or early July. I'm still waiting on the new rack. The dealer ended up having me call Tony at Tige to talk to him about it. I finally got to talk to him earlier this week. Seems they have the manufacturer issue worked out but are way behind. Mainly because they are prioritizing the manufacturing of the Alpha Z towers (the towers and racks are made at the same plant). He said my dealer should have new racks in hand in the next week or two. I implored him to send me a samson rack if he can't make good on the factory rack. It's been a real hassle living without that rack. We'll see what happens.
