Foil Rack for Chair on Maximus tower

[Tallredrider 3]

I am looking at a new Centurion Ri237.  Looks like an amazing boat.  It is critical that I am able to store my Air Chair on the tower.  I have not been able to find anyone who has done it.  It appears that the hinge for the rack is made the same as the Nautique tower which is also made by Roswell.  Do I just need the hinge adapter like I did on my previous Nautique boats?  I am a long ways from a local dealer, so I can't just zip down and check it out.  The dealer says it has been done, but was clearly not very versed in this particular item.  Does anyone have any pics of a chair on a Maximus tower?

Uggh.  Please reply to this thread, not the other duplicates.  I received an error message that said my thread could not be submitted.  So I hit the 'Start New Thread' button again...and again...and a third time.

I’m not exactly sure what you are looking to do, but Nautique and Centurion do you a common Roswell swivel block on their towers. So if this is something you’ve done on a newer Nautique, I’d say it can be done on a Centurion.

It is slightly more complicated than that.  The angle of the block adapter has to be correct or the wings may hit the tower.  The distance from the mounting point to the top of the tower plays a role in whether the wings will hit the tower or not.  The mounting block was designed on the Nautique tower shape which is very different from the Maximus shape.  It may require a different mounting block with the same bolt hole pattern.  I am for sure not the first guy to deal with this, and just want to get a head start on it if I have to have something fabricated.

Gotcha. Sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer. I’ve never ridden an air chair, or even seen one in person. We just surf.

Air Chairs are awesome and fun. We bought one about a year ago and just started riding this summer.  Great times.

Update: The block to add an Air Chair to the Maximus tower does not need a separate angle adapter and fits just fine.  So far it has worked terrific.
