Your MTK uses many common parts and design features that make
it aordable, adjustable, and easy to install. There are four main
components - Top Section, Right Leg, Left Leg and Adjustable
Mounting Bases. The Top Section has pivot points that allow
the Legs to swing inboard and outboard adjusting to
dierent boat widths. An important part of the
installation is drilling holes in the tower to lock the
legs into a position custom t to your boat. Quick
Release Knobs allow you to fold the tower for
storage. You can choose whether your tower
will fold to the front or to the back of your boat.
The Mounting Bases have multiple pivots that
allow mountingyour tower most anywhere
on your boat, the top, sides and most any
angle. The MTK has many features for a
custom t on your boat. Following all
the installation instructions will give
you a professional, “dealer
installed” look.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR INSTALLING, MAINTAINING AND USING YOUR NEW MTK
For a High Quality, Trouble Free Installation, read the entire Installation Manual completely before you begin.
Monster Tower has documented forces on arches exceeding of 300 ft./lbs. under normal wakeboarding conditions. Dynamic
forces can exceed 10 G on “double-ups”. These forces are transferred into the deck of the boat. Monster Tower REQUIRES
reinforcement to be installed under the deck by a qualied installer who can take your boat’s individual mounting situation into
account. Every boat, every mounting location and conguration is unique and needs to be assesed by a berglass
professional to ensure the forces generated from towing do not cause damage to the deck and other areas of your boat.
Monster Tower is not responsible for damages.
30 HOUR SERVICE/MAINTAINENCE- Torque all M10 and M12 bolts to 22 ft-lbs and check M8 bolts for secure t into deck.
After each of the rst few uses, re-torque all hardware as stated above. Check regularly and every 30 hours of use.
Leave the protective plastic packing material on the legs and top section, removing it only as needed. This protects your boat
and the tower during installation.
Do not use power nut drivers to run bolts. Always turn by hand to prevent the bolts from heating up.
Note that after drilling the locking holes in the top section, the tower leg span (width) is permanantly set and cannot be
moved to another boat unless it has the same width.
The tower is silent by design. If you hear any rattling or noise, check all hardware for tightness, especially the heim joint jam
nuts. Call us at 877-778-6937 if you continue to hear any rattling or noise before using the tower. This means
something is not installed correctly.
Visit the support information page at MonsterTower.com for more information, including details on customer installations.
IMPORTANT: USE PROVIDED ANTI-SEIZE (IN FOIL PACKET) ON ALL BOLTS

Begin Installation - Layout and Planning
During installation, you should protect the tower by doing all the layout of the tower on a tarp, blanket or carpet and leave as
much plastic wrapping on the legs and top section as possible. Protect the general mounting area of your boat by covering it
with a tarp or blanket. Use masking tape to protect your deck from scratches as you determine the location of the four bases.
The rst step when installing your MTK is to determine if your boat is better suited for a forward folding or back folding tower.
This determines where the leg bases will attach to your deck. If your MTK will ever be folded for storage, this location is more
important than where the tow point is located. Forward folding towers usually fold down behind the windshield within the boat
interior. If folding forward, the top section will rest on the driver seat, steering or dash. If folding to the back, the Top Section will
rest on your back seat or sun pad when folded.
Begin by measuring the approximate width of your boat. STEP 1. Attach both legs to the top section using the M10 x 40 bolts and
nuts. The nuts are installed with a socket wrench through the access windows at the top of each leg. Position the legs to the boat
width and tighten the bolts so the legs stay in place when moving the tower. STEP 2. Attach the Heim Joints with jam nuts to the
base of each leg as shown below.

width of your boat

Make sure the legs are set to the approximate width of your boat. Forward folding is recommended if you will be adding speakers
and board racks. Customer photos on our website can be helpful for mounting ideas and where to mount the tower.
To test if a forward folding tower works best:
Hold the tower in a “face down” position over your deck. Move the tower toward the front of the boat until it’s close to the
windshield. Lay the tower on the deck making sure it doesn’t slide o. While standing inside the boat, pivot the tower to an upright
position (you will need the help of a friend or two). The tower must pivot to the upright position without contacting the windshield.
If it touches the windshield, move the tower back a bit and try again. Repeat until there is no interference with the windshield.
Make further adjustment depending on where you want the folded tower to rest. Note: If you plan on purchasing a Bimini, allow
extra space for the Bimini to fold with the tower. Also note that if the tower is too far back, the driver may not be covered by shade.
To test if a back folding tower works best:
With your tower in a “face up” position have a friend help you lift the tower over the back of the boat. Move the tower forward until
the top section is within the back of your boat. Lay the tower on the deck making sure it doesn’t slide o. Get inside the boat and
pivot the tower to an upright position. Decide if the tow position is acceptable. If not, move the tower forward and repeat until the
tow position is to your liking.
After you decide an approximate location and
folding direction, put masking tape on
your boat in the general area that the
bases will be mounted. This protects your
deck from scratches during the next steps.
Determine which is best: Forward or Back folding.

Attach all bases to the legs using the M12 x 35 bolt and the Quick Release
Knob. Run bolt and knob through the Heim Joint into the Swivels. Hand tighten.
Bases will now pivot and swivel on the Heim Joints. Loosen the jam nut on the
Heim Joint so the base will pivot along side of the boat (parallel to the boat center).
IMPORTANT: Large portion of bases should face toward the back of the boat to
ensure that the legs do not contact the bases when tower is folded.
The base swivel can be mounted with the M12 x 35 bolt either toward the inside
or outside of the boat. For easiest access, we recommend mounting the bolt head
toward the outside. Position the tower “Face Down” over the taped area on the deck. Pivot the tower upright to assure there is
ample clearance with the windshield (and Bimini if you will add one). Adjust location if needed. You may want to try a few
mounting spots to make sure you have the best possible location for the tower when folded down. It is important to look under
the deck where all four bases will mount to make sure there are no wires or other obstructions, and to make sure there is a at
surface for the base plates. Many boats have foam oatation under the deck that must be removed to mount the Below Deck
plates. Also, avoid stringers and wiring channels when determining base locations.
6A
With the tower upright, position the FRONT BASES to have maximum contact with the deck. Hand tighten the swivel to the bases
and the jam nut on the Heim so the footing remains stable on the deck. Adjust the width of the legs at the top section to achieve
maximum contact. After you are sure of the location of the FRONT BASES, mark the locations on the tape.
IMPORTANT: Double check the distance from the back of each base to the rear of the boat (or other reference point) to make sure
they are positioned in the same location on each side of the boat. This assures the tower will pivot smoothly front to back.
Locate the bases on the deck.
7A
Attach the FRONT BASES to the boat.
Detach the Front bases from the legs and take them apart for mounting. IMPORTANT: To assure correct distance between front and
back bases, you will rst attach only the front bases to the boat. Make sure the large end of the base is toward the back of the boat.

Gelcoat
Understand the following procedures before drilling to ensure a clean hole
through the deck. Boats have a very hard exterior gelcoat surface as shown
to the right. The gelcoat is a very thin layer approximately 1/16” thick and
the berglass below it is normally about 3/8” thick.
IMPORTANT: Due to the uniqueness of each individual boat, mounting
location and accessorization, Monster Tower REQUIRES decks to be reinforced
by a berglass professional to ensure the forces generated from towing do not
cause damage to the deck and other areas of your boat. Monster Tower is
not responsible for damages.
Next: Return to “Forward Folding Instructions” or “Back Folding Instructions” to pick up where you left off.
Hole Pattern Note:
Center of all holes will be close to a straight line as shown below. If your boat deck is very curved, the line may not be as straight.
Masking Tape

Center of holes
Drilling holes:
You MUST run the drill in reverse while drilling the holes or the gelcoat will chip because it is extremely brittle.
Run the drill in reverse for the entire hole. For safety, have someone with a vacuum remove the berglass shavings while you drill.
Use the following procedure for drilling holes:
1) Begin with a 1/8” bit and run the drill in reverse until you are through the berglass.
2) Repeat step 1 using a 5/16” bit running in reverse. DO NOT USE THE INCLUDED 10mm BIT for deck holes. ( It’s used in Step 12 )
3) Finish the hole by putting a slight angle (chamfer) on the edge of the gelcoat turning the drill bit by hand (without the drill)
as shown on the right side in the above diagram. This further helps protect the boat.
4) Using the Below Deck plate, double check the location of the second hole for each base. Drill the second hole using steps 1-3.
5) Conrm the two M8 x 60 bolts will go gthrough the Below Deck plate and the two holes without binding. If bolts bind, make
the holes a little larger using the 5/16” bit, drilling at a slight angle. As a last resort, oversize one hole only using a 3/8“ bit.
6) Optionally, you can use a small piece of sand paper to add a radius to the chamfered edge of each hole.
With the holes drilled you can now remove the tape and bolt bases onto the deck. Diagram below shows component stacking.
The hollow side of the rubber pads go toward the boat deck. Tighten bolts
by hand, do not use a drill or pneumatic /air driver. There is
not a specic torque specication since each boat is dierent.
Tighten the M8 bolts until you see the rubber pad being
compressed. Check the base to make sure it is tight.
If needed, turn another 1/4 turn. Repeat until the
base is rigid and stable.
Note: you can optionally add non-adhesive caulk or
sealant between the top of the boat and the rubber
pad to ensure a watertight seal.

Take a few minutes to double check the dimensions between the base locations
and several reference points on your boat to make sure they are in the same
location on each side (measure twice, drill once). Check underneath the deck to
make sure it is reinforced around the mounting points. Make sure there are no
wires or obstructions as well as good places for the Below Deck plates. For each
base mark, the location to drill two holes through the deck as shown to the right.
Use the holes in the base as a guide for the center of each hole to be drilled.

IMPORTANT - Final Adjustments and Locking
All bolts must be at least hand tight in the next step or the tower may not pivot
the same way each time while making adjustments.
The last steps involve making sure the tower is centered on the boat and locked into place.
This makes the tower sti and silent. IMPORTANT: You must center the tower as shown
to the right. Do this by measuring from the base on one side to the upper pivot bolt on
the other side. Check both diagonal measurements until both measurements are
within 1/4”. When centered, tighten all four pivot bolts on the top section to 22 ft-lbs.
Drilling Holes and Insert Bolts and Nuts to Lock the Tower
Drill holes into each of the 4 Leg Tabs. These holes and the bolts that go through them give
strength and rigidity to the entire tower. Double check that the tower is centered
as above before drilling. Once holes have been drilled, there is no adjusting the tower.
Use the following procedure for drilling holes to make it easier to drill through
the thick tab material.
1) Begin with the included 10mm drill bit. Using the available counter bored hole in
the Top Section as a centering guide for your hole, drill a pilot hole into the tab.
2) Switch the drill bit to a smaller size (3/16” or 1/4“) and drill partially through the tab.
Make sure to stay centered and drill straight into the pilot hole.
3) Switch your drill bit back to the 10 mm and drill to the depth of the smaller hole from step 2.
4) Continue switching between drill bits until you have drilled completely through the tab.
Insert M10 x 40 bolts through each available counter bore hole of the Top Section. Add Nylock Nuts and tighten to 22 ft-lbs..
Install the All Round Navigation Light and Run Electrical Wiring
You will need weather tight electrical wire connectors to connect
to your boat electrical system. For forward folding towers you can
conceal the Navigation wiring within the MTK as shown to the right.
For Back folding towers run wire down through the back leg.
Drill a wire out hole near the base of the back Starboard
leg as shown below.

Using your MTK - Operating Instructions
The MTK folds down for storage. To fold the tower down, have a friend hold the tower to support it from suddenly falling, then
remove the Quick Release Knob. Your tower will be free to fold forward or back in the direction you chose during installation. Do
not loosen any other hardware for storage.
When the tower is folded, always use a vest or other cushion to protect your boat where the tower and boat touch each other.
IMPORTANT - The tower cannot be towed when folded for storage. Towing while the tower is folded may result in DAMAGE
to your boat. Since the tower is much stronger than the berglass of your boat, the mounting locations could fracture or crack.
When towing your boat the MTK MUST BE IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. Also, when driving under low overhangs or reduced
height spaces, remember the increased overhead clearance needed for the tower.
When towing, if you installed accessories such as wake board racks or mirrors, stay aware of the increased width of your boat.
After towing and before every use on the water, please check all bolts and re-tighten / re-torque to specications listed.
The MTK is sti and silent by design. If you hear any rattling or noise from the tower, or see any movement in the tower, stop
and check all hardware for tightness. Call us at 877-778-6937 if this does not correct the problem.
15
Final Finishing
Press the Oval Caps into each of the four access holes at the top of legs. Double check all fasteners. Make sure they are tight,
especially the bolts connecting the Top Section to the Legs. Your MTK is now ready for use. THE MTK IS ABSOLUTELY SILENT when
installed correctly. Shake the tower. If there is any noise or side to side movement , check the hardware. Make sure all connections
are tight. If you hear any noise or rattling at any time, something is wrong. Please correct it before using the tower.
