Product Description
B2 Water Ski & Wakeboard Rack For Your Boat
Carrying and transporting your wakeboards and slalom waterskis is a constant pain. Not only do they take up a lot of space and get in the way, but throwing them on the floor of your boat can be unsafe. It can damage your boards, your dream boat, or other possessions on your boat, or worse still, the people on board. The need is clear – a wakeboard and slalom water ski rack for your boat. Something designed to fit right into your existing fishing rod holders (no need for expensive, clunky, difficult-to-install wakeboard towers). Something to organize and secure your boards and skis, decluttering your boat forever!
Lucky for you, we built exactly that. It’s the B2 Rack System, the wakeboard and slalom water ski rack for center console, dual console boats, and yacht tenders. This wakeboard rack includes a choice of forks that can hold many water sports boards, including wakeboards, one slalom water ski, wake surfboards, kiteboards, and kneeboards. Whether you get just one, one pair, or more, transporting your boards has never been easier!
Benefits of Keeping Boards Safe & Valuable Gear Stowed With B2 Wakeboard Boat Racks
Organize & gain more space. The B2 Rack System helps you optimize the space on your boat, keeping your wakeboards and water skis safely stowed without cluttering valuable deck space.
100% Stability at High Speeds: These racks will keep your boards 100% secure even at high boat speeds, minimizing movement and vibrations, so your boards stay in place and damage-free.
Durable and weather-resistant. Engineered to last, the B2 Rack System is constructed with weather-resistant materials. That means reliable performance even in the harshest marine conditions. This durability enhances the longevity of the rack and protects your investment.
Made with top-grade materials. We manufacture all of our products right here in the USA. The craftsmanship and quality materials that go into our products ensure they’ll go the distance and last for years. This product is perfect for center console, dual console boats, and yacht tenders.
Fits into your boat fishing rod holders. The B2 wakeboard and water ski rack is not a wake tower rack/wakeboard tower rack built to – it works with your boat’s fishing rod holder, even if your holder is at an angle. The B2 system rotates and locks parallel to your boat’s gunwale. This wakeboard/water ski rack helps water skiers and wakeboard enthusiasts keep their valuable gear stowed and safe. No more worrying about damaging your boards, injuring your passengers, or seeing your boards flying out of the boat!
Super easy to install and adjust. The B2 system is practically drop-in-ready to make transporting your boards easier and boating more enjoyable for years to come. Just make sure to check a couple of things before purchasing. These are not wakeboard towers/wakeboard tower racks – we build these water ski/wakeboard racks to slide into your existing fishing rod holders.
Make sure you have a quality, through-bolted reinforced fishing rod holder. (So it can support the weight of the B2 with boards.) Second, measure the angle of your rod holder so you order the correct rack mount angle. For example, if you have a 30-degree rod holder, purchase a 30-degree rack mount.
There are several factors to consider when choosing the right wakeboard or water ski rack for your boat, to make sure you get the best fit for your needs. First, consider your boat’s size and how many water skis, wakeboards, surfboards, or other boards you need to store. Also consider the types of waterskis and boards you have, as some racks are incompatible with certain types.
Make sure the materials are of the highest quality, built to last, and endure harsh elements. Also, compare prices and especially the total cost for your new rack system when it’s all said and done. Some rack systems can rack up expenses fast when you’re not paying attention, and some are much more straightforward and cost-efficient. By considering these factors, you can choose the right water ski rack for your boat, ensuring your gear is always organized and ready for action.

How to Measure Rod Holder Angles
Need help? No problem! Ordering the correct mount angle may be confusing, so we created a video to help you.
Video Transcript:
One of the most asked questions when ordering racks from MantaRacks.com is:
How do I determine the angle of the rod holder in my boat?
In this video, we’re going to show you how.
Standard Rod Holder Angles
There are only three angles in the boating industry:
- 0 degrees
- 15 degrees
- 30 degrees
Most center consoles and dual consoles use 15-degree and 30-degree rod holders or a combination of both.
Measuring the Rod Holder Angle
-
Use a Smartphone Angle Meter
- Your smartphone likely has an angle meter app pre-installed.
- If not, you can download one from the app store.
-
Insert a Handle into the Rod Holder
- Use a mop handle, gaff handle, or any other thick-handled device and insert it into the rod holder.
-
Take the Measurement
- Open your angle meter app and position your phone on the side of the handle.
-
Interpret the Reading
- Remember, rod holders are only 0, 15, or 30 degrees.
- A right angle is 90 degrees, so:
- A reading of 60 degrees means a 30-degree rod holder.
Ordering Your Manta Racks System
If you’re ordering an S1, S2, L2K, or FM rack from MantaRacks.com, we’ll need the angle of two rod holders that you plan to use with our system.
