Just be careful traveling with the tower in the down position. Unless they have changed the design, my 2017 F24 Tomcat has cable assist for the tower and when I had it shipped from Texas to Maryland it showed up with both cables broken and damage to the fiberglass behind the drivers seat. MB told me it is not meant to be transported with the tower down unless you brace it and strap it down. Had to fight with the boat broker and transport companies for months to try to get it fixed and ended up doing it myself. Not a fun job to replace those cables and my fiberglass still isnt repaired but its minor.

Did you ever get this fixed? I had an F24 Tomcat shipped from Texas to Maryland and it showed up with both cables broken and some minor damage to the boat. I have since replaced them.

I have a 2017 F24 Tomcat and the swim deck sits about 6" off the water without the ballasts filled. My wife wanted a ladder to make it easier to get onto the boat. After looking everywhere and getting no help I ordered a $85 telescoping ladder on amazon. Comes with 8 mounting screws which I tried but after a couple weeks my 220lbs nephew pulled it out. I bought 4 stainless steel through bolts and it worked like a charm. Only downside is that you can see the screw heads on the gator step on the swim platform but it doesn't look bad in my opinion. if you didnt want to see the screws you can remove the center section of gator step, install the ladder, then put a new center piece of gator step back on. Folks at MB told me they could probably get me just the center piece for about $150. Honestly, it looks fine so i am going to save the $150 and couple hours it would take to replace it.

do you still have this issue or have you changed the O2 censor? My 2017 F24 Tomcat is doing the same thing. Kind of annoying to keep lifting the seat and shutting down the power. Looking for a more long term fix.
