Diameter of the tower tow point

[BigT51]

Anyone by chance know the diameter of the tow point on top of the wakeboard tower on the AR230? I'm designing a support for my tarp to cover the boat and I want to use it as a point of support for the frame. I looked up the part number but it doesn't show any dimensions. I'm using schedule 40 pvc for the frame and need to figure out what size tee will fit over the tow point.

I've got my cover on the boat so I can't easily access the tow point to measure,

very interested in seeing your support when you get it finished,

Finally got the frame put together, made primarily of 1-1/2" schedule 40 pvc. The tower tow point is ~2.75" diameter so I used 3" to 1-1/2" reducer feeding into a tee to support the pipe running front to back. I'm using a 20'x40' tarp over the frame to protect the boat. We'll see how it holds up over the winter. Cost of all the materials was under $100 and I can take it apart in the Spring when boating season starts.
