Towing with GX tower

Yes tower folds down, racks fold inward, and then the cover goes over everything.

 

Pay attention to turning the helm seat when lowering/lowered to prevent damage to it.

Gotta love that the ability to swivel your helm seat is an option you have to pay for on a 2019. 🤪.... bummer if you order a GX and a non swivel seal!

I would think they considered that and made the swivel a forced yes if you selected the Gx?

It is an option that if missed or not checked won't be standard. When building a boat, the boat builder might default to the GX build options, but I did not get that impression when I was sitting there making mine. I ran into an issue of not being able to order just a single set of Rev-10s, the boat builder accepted the option, but Malibu kicked it back when it got to them.

yes if you click the gx box it will automatically click the box for slide and swivel. And yes always swivel first before folding tower. We have already had one customer tear a skin when he forgot one time.

Alright. I have a 2020 GX Tower. I properly folded the tower down, adjusted the bimini, and it sits slightly above the windshield. There is no way my cover fits over everything. it is so far off from covering the rub rails below the tower points. Could there be a different bimini for the GX and I got the wrong one with my order?

There is only one Bimini available for the GX. On your window sticker it’s called the CS Bimini Top - Gen III Surf. The Gen II is for the G3 and G5 towers. You can’t accidentally order the Gen II for the GX tower. 

So we know that the Bimini isn’t your problem. Have you tried taking your racks off?

Ill be honest with you, I had the same cover on my 2020 25 LSV with GX and the same cover, and I hated that cover. Same issue, It was tough to get the cover over the rub rail.
