Flight control tower movement.

[briantin]

I have the flight control tower on my 2006 SANTE 220 with the attachment points in the picture attached. I'm getting some movement in the attachment block. Does anyone know what the torque spec would be on these? When we hit some wake the tower has some lateral movement. Should it or should or should everything be tight enough that it does not move at all. Thanks.

Those towers are really heavy, the bolts always vibrate loose, and yes if you have speakers up there it’s gonna move. I had an 06 210 with same tower and it always had to be retightened and was a known problem for this tower. I’m with you though, very annoying

How tight did you go? Snug? Real tight?

As far as tight, I would go very snug. And behind the front cushions in the corner, I did cut an access panel to tighten the front tower mount bolts. I think I used a large holesaw and then opened it a bit more since it's covered no one would ever see it.

Had to buy the socket at Harbor freight sorry I don't recall the size for those big bolts.
