    Beretta5spd, Would it be easier to fold the tower towards the front or is there the same tension on the rear legs?

      The tower still has to be folded towards the rear for it to work properly. Good question though. If installed in the same spot as we put it the top of the tower folds nicely behind the engine hatch. The rear legs had no excess tension.

      You can get away with "much" less tension on the front upper arms by having the arms that attach to the boat (run N/S on the top deck) angle out wards at the top. I liked the look of them straight better and refused to have it any other way.

      I am about 400 miles away from the boat otherwise I would film a video of how it folds down for you. All the best to you and feel free to ask more questions if you have them

                Jeff,

                The Roswell tower does look great. Do you or anyone happen to know if you can use the stock / factory Bimini top?
