Wakeboard Tower Diameter for R5

Post by Tandjmei8 »

Anyone have the diameter measurements for a 2020 R5 (or similar boat/tower) handy? Trying to figure out what size clamp.

I have in my head that they are 2.5" diameter, but I don't have my boat (which is a 210 from a few years prior) to measure. Anybody else know for sure?

I was able to speak with Dwight in Neodesha, so I thought I’d close this out with the details. The forward part of the tower that is typically white or black measures at 2.5”. The back tube that is brushed aluminum measures at 2”.

Sorry...forgot to look. Where mine mounts on my R5 WSS is 2.5" but may be a different arch.
