It seems like I have to re-tighten my skylon all the time. Is there a reason it gets loose?, or is there something I can do to solve my problem?

If youre talking about the extended pylon and not a tower, I re-ratchet mine after about 3-4 riders. Thats also the reason I never left it up on the way to/from the lake.

If it is a tower then your not "preloading" the bolt with enough torque to hold it firm. Clarify which bolts, where they are used and what size the bolts are and I'll try to find a torque value.
