FC5 tower lowering all the way???

[robertdodson]

I just got a 2011 210 and cannot lower the tower all the way unless I remove the Bimini connection to the tower? The bar that comes forward off the tower for the bimini on the drivers side hits just in front of the throttle? I either have to remove this bar or figure out how to get it all the way down. Any suggestions? Also, do I have to remove the wakeboard rake to fit in my garage. Is there an easy way to do this?

On my 2011 210 I have to remove the Z-5 bimini supports from the tower to lower it all the way to fit in my 8ft tall door. If they would have angled them in just slightly they would clear. It's only two screws and doesn't take long. When my boat is in the lift on the dock, I had the same type issue as the tower had to be lowered, but not all the way. So my fix was to make some wedges out of 2 X 6 and covered them with carpet so I can lower the tower partially just enough to clear the top of the dock and the bimini can still be attached. We just have to unhook the stern mounts.
