Tower Diameter

[Geiger41]

Anyone know the diameter of the tower for a 2013 212X. I need to order my tower speaker mounting clamps but am unsure what size to get. THANKS !!

Funny, I'm looking for the same info on a 2009 212X.

@justason is your boat handy? The tower location i'm looking for is the bottom tube, near the removable braces.

They say most of the towers are 1 7/8". My Exile speakers were supposed to go down to that, but I had to come up with a rubber sleeve under the clamps so they would tighten.

BTW.... mine is an AR240, not a 212.

Sorry. I'm an hour away from my aquatic mistress, ...but I'm very confident its greater than 2" in diameter. When we spoke last December about accessories I bookmarked the following for future purchase. I'm leaning heavily towards the 2 1/4" diameter. I'll see the boat Sunday, I can re-measure then

edit: your comment on "bottom tube, near the removable braces". not sure I understand, all tubes are the same DIA ??

I can't remember the exact measurement, and I can't confirm cause my boat is still in storage, but I know for a fact that it's larger than 1 7/8ths.
The AR's are 1 7/8ths, but the 212x and the 242 are bigger.

I say the lower tube because I'm not certain the tubes were the same diameter. Mine is still buried under a couple feet of snow!

 

[octavio3311]

The round tubing part is the same diameter thruout.
I wanna say 2-1/4.
Damn it - now you're gonna make me go to my file and look up my tower speaker receipt from last year.
Be right back!

2-1/4.

You rock! Thanks!

Is that the same for the 242 Limited S ?? I am looking at wakeboard racks and I know the old boat (2008 AR230) was 1 7/8 " . I have a rack from that boat sitting in the garage. It definitely does not fit the 2013 242. Anyone in the Jacksonville Fl area looking for a wakeboard rack???

FYI...

I called Yamaha today. They stated the o.d. of the 212X is

2 3/8!

- so the general consensus for earlier model 212X diameter is 2 3/8"? Mine is 2008 model.
