A windshield assembly includes a windshield frame constructed to support a
windshield. A plurality of couplers are secured to the windshield frame,
and a tower frame for a wakeboard tow rope or cable attachment, radar
arch or the like is connected to the windshield frame via the couplers.
In one arrangement, the couplers are connected to the wing sections of
the windshield frame, and the tower frame extends between the wing
sections and above an area defined between the wing sections. The
integrated tower frame and windshield simplifies installation for the
boat manufacturer while accommodating many varieties of tower and
windshield configurations.
