Abstract
A foldable watersports tower mountable on a boat and suitable to serve as both a watersports tower and provide support for a sun cover. The tower includes a cover frame and a leg supporting the cover frame. The leg includes a first leg section having a lower end and an upper end. The lower end of the first leg section is pivotally mountable adjacent the boat at a first lower pivot location, and the upper end of the first leg section is pivotally connected to the cover frame at a first upper pivot location. The leg includes a second leg section having a lower end and an upper end. The lower end of the second leg section is pivotally mountable adjacent the boat at a second lower pivot location. The upper end of the second leg section is pivotally connected to the cover frame at a second upper pivot location. The tower is foldable so as to be raisable and lowerable between a raised position and a lowered position and the cover frame is capable of remaining in a constant attitude as the tower travels between the raised position and the lowered position.
