    Rack Replacement Options

    I was going to replace my original tine-style rack on my 2009 230 with Triton board racks. My original rack held the boards horizontally, but I see there is a more vertical position available. Is there a preferred horizontal or vertical? I assume my FCT3 will handle it either way.

    If I had a preference it’s choose more vertical. . Problem you run into with more vertical is when you rotate you risk being inhibited by speakers to spin in completely. I try to run my second set of surf racks as vertical as possible. They are fixed. In super chopped up days. I noticed the older style forks putting dimples on my higher end surf style boards. Went vertical , and seemed to eliminate it getting any worse. Again older style bungee racks

      Great point. I need to look at my speaker clearance. Surf boards can go on the bimini.

        Another issue with the more vertical racks is it can obscure the view for the driver depending on where they are positioned on the tower. I replaced my Titan spinners about 7 or 8 years ago on my 2008 SANTE 210 with the Titan stainless steel tower with PTM clamp racks, expensive but have held up amazing over the years.
