Tige Tower issue

Can anyone help me with this? The boat is an 04 22v riders edition, with a Syncrovac manufactured tower. The company is no longer in business. The tower seems to be pulling apart on the port side.

Is there supposed to be a pin or something in this hole, or is it designed to give?

The picture is of the port side front leg.

It does look like something might be missing there, Have you checked the other side?

I believe there is supposed to be a big allen bolt on the inside of that leg.

i know the new ones take a allen bolt to hold those 2 peices together. i would start with taking the other sides allen bolt out to match it up hahahaha.

No pin in the hole. That is just a weep hole for welding or drainage.

Check what everyone else is saying about the allen bolt on the inside of the lower part.

The other side does not have anything in the hole either.

I tried looking in the hole with a flashlight but I can see no hole on the inserted piece or any threads.

Now the dang thing is in storage and will have to get dealt with in the spring.

Thanks, I wish the Factory could have given me this much help. All I got out of them was the name of the company and the fact that they were out of business.

Typically there's a small allen nut on the inside just below that black ring. I believe that leg has a "male/female" part that fit into each other. I don't think it can actually come apart because the rear section of the tower is keeping pressure on it.
