MikeSki was kind enough to get a extra set of $80 Tower knob's for his Buddy "G". He even included a "How To" install them picture with the knobs and some Stainless all-thread and aluminum sleeve because the way them came didn't have it. I have had them tucked away for a month or so. I almost forgot about them. I needed to send them off to get them anodized before I could install them on my boat. I got them back a few week's ago and put them on. let me say they are way way better than the stock one's. Your able to get the tower way tighter and then unscrew and tighten them much better. Here are some pick's.

Sweet idea, I have the 05 220 tower on a older ski boat & hate the plastic knobs. Where do the come from?

I'm sure there would be a market for these.

Rick at Tachyon Motorsports made them for us. I don't see them on the website not sure if he is still making them? They are two big hunks of billet aluminum, not sure if he can keep the price under $100? They come silver, Grant had his powder coated black. Rick might be able to anodize or powder coat them too.
