Tower Accessories
Following are descriptions of a variety of optional accessories
that can be added to the tower, depending on packages and
availability. It is important to note that the towers were designed
to accommodate only the specified options. Other aftermarket
options may not work properly due to the electrical harness
requirements. The towers can also hold only a limited amount
of weight. Exceeding that limit can cause failure of the tower,
which could lead to injury to people on board or people using
the tower for water activities. No additional weight should ever
be added to the tower.
Models:
Optional on all Wakesetter models.
Bimini Top
One of the most popular options is the Bimini top, which
provides protection from the sun for the driver, observer and
may also offer shade to others onboard, depending on the
angle of the sun. It also provides storage for ropes. The deluxe
version also offers surfboard storage.
The canvas cover requires thorough drying prior to the boat
being stored. See the
Care and Maintenance
section of this
manual for additional information.
To Open the Bimini Top for Use
1. Unclip the strap wrapped around the tower and unwrap
from around the tower.
2. Pull the Bimini forward and free of the tower until it will
not slide any farther.
3. Reposition the tower mirror (where equipped) into place
for use.
4. Unzip the Bimini boot and place the boot in a secure
location, preferably one of the storage compartments.
5. Unroll the canvas from around the Bimini support bar.
6. Pull the canvas over the tower, ensuring the opening fits
over the navigation light.
7. Unfold the back half of the Bimini toward aft.
8. Secure the two support rods. (Gently pull down on the
Bimini canvas to release tension and make it easier to
hook the rods.)
9. Wrap the four connection straps around the bars and
secure with the Velcro flaps.
To Close the Bimini Top
1. Open the Velcro flaps on the four connection areas of the
Bimini.
2. Release the two support rods. (Gently pull down on the
Bimini canvas to release tension and make it easier to
unhook the rods.)
3. Fold the back half on the Bimini forward.
4. Pull the canvas over the tower, taking care while moving it
over the navigation light.
5. Roll the canvas around the Bimini support bar. (Only one
roll will be required.)
6. If the boat will be in motion, place the Bimini boot over
the canvas and zip it closed. (this will keep the canvas
from flapping during operation and potentially tearing it,
which is not covered under warranty).
For Towing
1. After closing the Bimini top as explained immediately
above, move the tower mirror (where equipped) into its
stowed position, out of the way of the movement of the
Bimini support.
2. Slide the Bimini aft until it will not slide any further. It
should be behind the tower.
3. Slip the canvas strap around the tower/Bimini and clip
closed to hold the Bimini to the tower.
Icon 8, Rev 8, or Rev 10 Speakers with Horn
Wet Sounds’ 8-inch tower speakers with tweeters offer full
mid-bass sound and clean detailed highs. The Malibu-designed
enclosure features waterproof connectors and optional swivel
mounts on the Icon 8. The speakers are powered by a 500-watt
amp. The Rev 8 speakers can also be teamed up with amps.
Read the
Dashes and Video Screens
section of this manual for
additional information about the speaker operation.
These are available on all Wakesetter models except the
20VTX, 21 VLX, and 21 MLX.
!
WARNING
Power to the GX tower should remain off unless being used to raise
or lower the tower. Leaving the power on will make the tower
susceptible to raising or lower unexpectedly if the knob is accidentally
moved in either direction. In the process, the tower could hit
individuals onboard the boat in the deck area, potentially causing
serious injury.
!
WARNING
No components should be added to the Malibu tower beyond what
is specified by the company. Other aftermarket items may not be
acceptable due to wiring or other power-related issues. The tower
weight limit may be exceeded by adding aftermarket items. Such
weight limits can also cause the tower to fail, which could result in
damage that is not covered under warranty.
