Just going through my new 2017 AR195 nag getting familiar with it. Does anyone have any difficulty with the knobs on the tower? The port side one threads in very easy. But the starboard one doesn't seem to line up well. I have to really lift up hard on the tower before the threaded knobs lines up with the hole. It makes it very hard to thread in and I'm fearful I will eventually cross-thread it. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there some sort of adjustment I'm not seeing that can align it better?
 
My port side is fine. Starboard side always requires me to pull the tower to me a little from standing inside the boat to get it to align. It's always been the way on mine.
 
Just messed with mine for the first time this weekend. Same deal, port lines up fine, starboard needs a little pull on the tower to align right. Just make sure you're careful and certain before tightening so you don't cross-thread it.
