The FreeRide tower fits boat with beam width of 75-100 inches. This measurement is taken from 
the mounting points, so the side to side must be greater than 75 inches in the front and back. 

 

Do not fold the tower without having the top section bolted 

 

Do not fold the tower by your self 

 

Do not assemble tower on the ground and then try to put in on the boat 

 

Do not tow tubes or other types of inflatable towables!

It makes your warranty null and void. 

Every tower manufacturer and boat manufacturer with an OEM tower has a warning not to do 
this. Inflatables and towables like these have a completely different hydrodynamic and friction 
profile compared to slick wakeboards and skis. The increased stress transfers through the tower 
to the mounting feet to a boat's fiberglass hull. Avoid damaging your boat and tower; avoid 
hurting or injuring your boat's occupants- just use your boat's ski tower ring. 

 

Do not use impact drivers on any hardware - this will over-torque them and possible cause 
damage 

 

Torque set screws to 35ft-lbs 

 

Torque shoulder bolts 50 ft-lbs 

 

Torque tower foot all thread to 65 ft-lbs 

 

All set screws should have red lock tite 

 

Check the top section for burr’s we are not liable for them 

 

You might notice your tower moving side to side when you tow your Boat, but, actually, the 
boat on the trailer is actually moving too. 

 

If your fiberglass is less than ¼ you will need to purchase a backing Plate kit 

 

Please leave foam wrap on until finished installing the tower 

 

If you have any question during the install please contact Aerial Wakeboarding 

CLEANING 

 

Wash with soap and clean water 

 

Use clean, soft micro fiber cloths to avoid scratching 

 

Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish will restore to original finish 

IMPORTANT WARNING 

 

BE CAREFUL when assembling this product! We CANNOT be liable for any burring or scratching 
that may occur when sliding sections in and out of each other. Before sliding on the top cross 
section tubes, check the inside of the tube opening. If you find a rough edge, we recommend 
filing and sanding them down smooth. Again, the point to to avoid scratching the nice polished 
finish of the tubes you're sliding them over.
