I only need two board racks, so they can be mounted in the upper or lower position on the tower and I'm wondering where to put them. Looking for opinions on why you chose to put yours in the position they are and if they are easy to move? Thanks.

Lower is slightly out more so in theory could mean a little less dripping water in the boat if it's wakeboards because bindings tend to drain a little water for a bit. Upper with a board AND tower speakers sometimes can prevent you from swiveling in

I put mine lower because of the Z5 rack works well for me.Image

Lower for 2 reasons above....easier to reach and will actually fully swivel in with having tower speakers.

Mine are on the uppers. No tower speakers so that's not an issue for me. I pull on to a hoist and have to swivel them in, so the uppers allow me to do this overtop of people's heads that are sitting in the boat.

Mine came on uppers. The lowers are at the hinge and I have to put my tower down regularly so not sure how that would work out. Just going to leave them where they are.
