2019 AR195 Wakeboard Tower Pins

[tylerwillsey]

Ladies and gentlemen,

I recently purchased a pre-owned 2019 AR195, when we purchased it i noticed one of the pins for the tower was missing, the port side to be specific, i talked to the dealer and they said that was normal. The tower has a little bit of motion and when folding it done the only thing holding the port side in place is the lanyard. I looked online at the OEM parts diagrams but there isn't a part number for what i am talking about. I was curious and asked a fellow boater who had his 2019 210 out and he had both. This is not a post for the turn knobs on the back, this is looking for the "dowel pins" that are on both sides that keep the tower aligned to the mount. I will take pictures later and upload them but i'm running out of options, i can't run a bolt through there due to the openings being different sizes, any advice or a part number would be fantastic. Thank you

I have a 2019 AR195 and have both of my pins. I actually disconnected the lanyard so that I could fold the tower lower to get it into my garage. Let me check the part diagram and see if I can come up with a part number. That doesn't sound very safe to use if it's not properly attached.

Agreed, it has held up fine thus far but still not a good gut feeling about it

I just pulled up Babbitt's. I see what your talking about. Nothing mention about the forward pins. You may end up having to drill them out and put bolts and nuts on it. That would be better then nothing at all. I will keep digging.

For anyone else who might not know what I’m talking about, here are the pictures, one has the pin, the other does not

Yea that’s absolute worse case scenario for me, don’t want to do anything that would void the already tough warranty

Hey, On 2020 195S model, Babbitt's shows a pivot with part number.

It is the same hull. I can't imagine it being any different.

I will pull it up, do they have the same tower?

Looks like it’s worth a try, I definitely did not even think to check other boats, if you works you are a lifesaver! I do appreciate the help regardless of the outcome though

I believe they do with an added name panel at the rear. Like I said, same hull, size, ect... You probably could talk to a parts guy and see. I willing to bet it is.

I have the same boat and my port side pin keeps trying to pop out. Beet it with a hammer and still keeps trying to fall out
