I’ve got a 2012 212x, is it ok to tow it with the tower down if you have the brackets/ towing bars / arms in place. Not exactly sure what those things are called.
Thanks
 
Towing with the tower shipping brackets is fine. It stops the tower from bouncing and straining the cable. Only problem may be getting the cover to fit properly with the tower down.
Maybe you'll catch less gnats!
 
@Tlaux - off thread but we rented a place on the lake of the ozarks for a week this summer. Any must see places to visit while we're there?
 
To start, the obvious places: Backwater Jacks, Coconuts, and Paradise. The strip has made a turn around the last few years and is a great place to find drinks and food. Top places there would be Beavers, Tucker's Shuckers, and Casablanca for great pizza. If you are planning on taking your boat, Beavers is right on the damn and is the only place on the strip that is water and land accessible. Frankie and Louie's and Larry's on the Lake are both great adult/kid friendly places. Where do you usually boat at?
 
Thanks! We boat in Illinois - Lake Springfield, Chain of Lakes, Lake Geneva and Lake Michigan. Generally vacation with boat and have been to Dale Hollow, Percy Priest and Old Hickory lake. We will definitely have the boat in the Ozarks. Group age range from 25-58, so adult beverages and music are highly sought after. The house we rented is on the water so we'll hopefully get lots of boat time. We like to wake board, water ski, swim, and just chill on the water.
 
Harbor hop right around the corner!!!
 
Won't be there for the harbor hop, but thanks!
 
What? Harbor Freight? Where?!?

Oh, wait. Wrong Harbor thingy. Nevermind. Had me all excited...
