I'm more curious about the headroom height inside the boat, I have over 6'-6" in the 2015 212X, but I heard the newer towers have less headroom. It's one dimension that I've never seen for any boat, but it's pretty important for tall people like myself.

Sorry, I had to. Check out the boat show and see if the inside height is good. My 2019, 212x only has two pins that drop the tower.

I had a 205 four Winns 235 SS with a power tower. I miss it so much! I had to have it fixed once and the motor was a very simple looking unit, very much like an electric trim ram on trim tabs. I’m actively looking into getting this put on my new 242 limited S. If anyone has anymore info please let me know and I’ll share what I find as well.

I just completed actuators on my 2019 AR195 tower. It is working great. I am just doing some more testing before I put a video and a write up. I used chain obtained from Home Depot to attach to the stop bolts of the tower cable. I then used linear actuators (Windy Nation) that I got from Amazon. I am able to power raise and lower tower with the momentary switch that was supplied in the kit. Total cost was approximately $200.00.
