Abstract: Watersport towers provide various features including legs that rotate relative to a cross-member of the tower that the legs are hingedly attached to such that the tower may adjust to various boat sizes and mounting locations, so that the tower may fold down in a first manner, and so that the tower is more compliant. Other features include leg attachment points of the cross-member that rotate to further allow the tower to adjust to various boat sizes and to allow the tower to fold down in an alternative manner. Other features include mounting bases that hingedly connect to the ends of the tower legs enabling the mounting bases to rotate relative to the legs such that the mounting bases can adapt to various boat mounting locations ranging from horizontal to vertical. Additionally, pads with recessed areas surrounding mounting holes may be utilized at the point of attachment to a boat to remove stress at the mounting holes of the boat.
