WARNING:
To prevent damage and serious injuries, the following rules must be strictly followed while using/owning your Keijtech wakeboard Tower. Watersports can be dangerous, Keijtech is not liable for any damage or injuries from the use of our watersports products. When in doubt of the safety of the tower installation on your boat, hire a professional boat expert to check if no safety issues can occur.
SAFETY RULES:
THE DRIVER OF THE BOAT ALLWAYS CHECKS FOR CRACKED WELDS AND TIGHTEN ALL FASTENERS, BOLTS AND CONNECTIONS PRIOR TO EVERY USE OF THE TOWER. (When in doubt of the safety or integrity of the tower, contact your local professional boat expert or contact Keijtech).
THE DRIVER OF THE BOAT IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT NO PEOPLE ARE SITTING/STANDING IN THE BOAT BEHIND THE TOWPOINT OF THE TOWER WHEN TOWING ANYTHING, TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM BREAKING TOWLINES OR TOWER PARTS.
DO NOT TOW ANY FUNTUBES, PARASAILS OR OTHER OBJECTS WITH THE TOWER. The forces of these objects on the tower can be much bigger than normal wakeboarding or waterskiing.
DO NOT TOW MORE THAN 1 PERSON AT A TIME WITH THE TOWER. Only tow wakeboarder, Kneeboarder or Waterskiër.
- Allways wear a certified life-vest when using the tower.
DO NOT climb, stand or sit on the tower.
- The Boats handling characteristics can be affected by the use of a tower, please take that in consideration.
Be carefull driving your boat under low trees, bridges and other obstacles. Also be careful of the height and width during trailering your boat on the road behind a car.
- Have a professional boat expert/mechanic inspect the installed tower on your boat at least once a year to make sure the tower, the installation and the boat’s hull are still in a technically solid and good maintained condition to be able to use the boat safely for the next year coming.
- Do not modify the tower.
Technical information Keijtech towers:
The wakeboardtowers of our KEIJTECH brand are manufactured from thick-walled T6061 T6 aluminum aluminum tubes.
The side tubes use a diameter of 2.25 inches (57 mm).
The middle topbar section uses 2.5 inch (63mm) tube diameter.
All wakeboard towers are fully adjustable and fit on most speedboats between 1.9m and 2.5m wide. (if your boat is narrower or wider, please contact us for a solution)
The mounting feet of the KEIJTECH towers are heavy duty and have 4 mounting bolts through the hull (instead of 1 or 2 bolts which the other brands use). This prevents local stress points on the hull of your boat.
Each tower comes with all the mounting hardware needed. With normal tools and some technical expertise you can mount the tower in a couple of hours.
The KEIJTECH wakeboard towers and accessories are available from stock in two types of finishes:
Polished aluminum finish:
Bare aluminum polished finish without a protective coating. Affordable and perfectly suited for freshwater boating. If the tower loses it’s glossy finish after seasons outside in the harbour, you can easily re-polish it yourself by hand. Normal Aluminum polishing compounds like “Belgom Alu” work perfectly with a hand cloth you will have the tower like new in a couple of hours. (Maintenance advice: re-polish at least once each year)
Black edition:
Black powdercoating with polished aluminum details. Very nice color combination, the high-gloss black looks great on most boat colours. This powdercoating is more resistant to saltwater than the polished finish. The polished mounting feet will lose their gloss overtime in saltwater. These polished finish parts can easily be re-polished by hand.
Why should you buy a wakeboard tower?
- The towpoint is about 2 meters higher than normal, therefore you are automatically pulled up out of the water. So stand up easier and jump further with a waketower.
- If you buy a tower with a optional boardrack, you can hang multiple boards on the tower and the floor of the boat is free to walk.
- When you hang your boards and vests in the wakeboard rack, the water drips away nicely outside of to the boat and your boat interior remains dry.
- A boat with a tower simply looks better. You can also mount all accessories such as a biminitop, mirror and speakers onto the tower.
