when going a considerable distance do you guys leave your tower up or do you take it apart.... Specifically, i have a monster tower?

I always travel with the tower up. Why not?

I think there is something in your boat manual or a warning sticker that says never tow with your tower down. Tower down only when in storage.

Monster tower up usually, sometimes down. When it's down I use beer koozies where the bars cross and bungee the loose ends down so they don't bounce around. It went 500 miles last weekend, 250 up, 250 down, no problems either way.

I heard this can happen if you tow without a tower up:
