The mooring cover is great at first then after a couple years it sucks. If you are on a covered slip then great, if you are on a trailer or uncovered slip do something else. Mine is 5 years old and for the past two year I had water getting through. Had a custom cover made for $1200 and it solved my issue. If I ordered new. I would buy the snap covers and get a custom over the tower cover made

I just like to preach about my dislike. However the company has amazing customer service. I would go with the snap covers as he has a lift cover. 100% get the electric version of tower. Save you unscrewing the bolts to keep tower set. It is easy, but everytime....go the e_tower version

Really I never hear you mention your dislike for the cover. I thought you loved it? 😂😂

Really etower? You would get that with a lift? I love my manual tower? 😂😂
As someone said in this thread that some dumb a$$ even hit a garage with his tower. He forgot to take it down. Lol idiot!
I belive that idiot had it lowered he or she just didn't rotate these stupid legs on the tower and that made his garage door taller. 😂😂

You know it's going to happen. Just like leaving a binimi ip and hitting that. Lol

Did you place the order yet?
We have never regreted the fact that we didn't get a table. Just something else to store.
Sometimes I wish we'd gotten the flag pole. I like the RGB lighting.
Premium sound it great...haven't heard the platinum.
We also are glad we got mooring cover. I do not like snaps on boat.
