Allen Wrench Size needed for 2013 212x tower bolt?

[dansshin]

I'm planning to head out to lake again with my family tomorrow but last time I was there tower bar on driver side felt little loose. I read bolt size is 13mm. Is that correct and where can I get allen wrench that large? Looks like common large size is 12 and 14 but don't include 13.

Thank you.

Try 1/2". That is what fits in mine and is a common size. You will also need a metric socket (21mm?) and a small child underneath the seats.

@buckbuck Where do I need the 21mm socket? And not sure what you mean about underneath the seats.

How about the size of the large Allen key needed on the tower pivot point? On Friday I noticed my starboard bolt backed out a bit but it is larger than what I have in my west marine tool kit. My boat is down at the slip and I want to be sure I have the right tool when I get back down there.

@dansshin , the allen head is on the top, but there is a bolt underneath, under the fiberglass. To tighten the allen head, you need to hold the other side underneath at the same time. Thus the need for a small child to fit under there and the socket...
