195S Tower on Boat Lift with Canopy

[DrPhil]

We have a 195S on order with included cover. What do folks do when they store their boat on a lift with a canopy? Is there a way to put the boat's cover in place then drop the tower so it doesn't hit the boat lifts canopy?

I always left my tower up and only put the boat cover on while I was gone during the week. It still got really good coverage from the canopy with the boat cranked all the way up with about an inch between the tower and canopy. With the boat cover on it stayed completely dry and clean. I did get the taller supports for my Shoremaster canopy so that I can drive underneath it without having to drop the tower. I think it was only about $300 and well worth it.

I know from experience the tower will fold with the cover on. I trailer mine to the lake so not sure on lifts etc
