The swivel is what swings the boards in. It isn’t a complete 180 spin though. Mine spins about 135 degrees ish??

So, if rack is facing straight out away from boat, 90 degrees would point the rack straight to the rear, plus another 30-45 degrees toward the inside of the boat. If that makes sense?

The quick release part is a bolt with a rubberized knob that attaches the fork to the swivel base. You can get the quick release without the swivel. But, in practice, you wouldn’t use it that way unless you were standing on the dock.

So far, I don’t really see why I need the quick release. I’ll rotate the rack then take the boards off and just leave the rack where it is. But it’s cheap enough to add, might as well get it while you’re at it.

Just keep in mind every swivel or quick release mechanism will add weak points, with heavy boards and/or rough weather that can be an issue... Yamaha new OEM racks are super pricey but swivel 180deg and are very sturdy. Not perfect but close.

For those of us who put the tower down after every outing would you need take it off? Or is the swivel sufficient?

I have an after market tower that is outside my windshield, so can’t really answer that question.

I can take a pic tomorrow, if I remember, so you can see how much the mount sticks out when swiveled. If I’m thinking right, you may need to take the forks off but leave the mount on. In that case, the quick release option would be important.

I have the polished aluminum version and can fit my Fish in the rack but have to wrap the cord around the tower a few times to keep it tight.
