I have a 2018 2 Limited S E series and was wondering how easy it is to completely remover the tower and top temporarily? My firend has a two week shore rental in Avalon NJ that might requiring going under a low bridge to acess his dock. I have dropped the tower/bimini before but I am thinking if I will be going in and out daily for two weeks it might be a lot easier to just remove it.

Thoughts?

Thanks Scoop
 
The Bimini cage might be easy to remove, the tower is more difficult. Try to drop the tower down and measure assuming Bimini cage is removed to see if it will do. My 2019 has the shock absorbers but I know older models had a cable where you can remove the stop allowing the tower to drop lower. Do a search here, you will find some good info on this mod. Not sure if your 2018 has the cable or shock absorbers? Good luck!
