Boat power pole manual

That is to say a swift way to make your boat secure out there on the water. This is the one you'll see on the back of the boats of the welll financed professional anglers you see on TV. If you know where the fish are running, you want to stop right there and you want to stop there NOW.

If you're in eight feet of water or less, the manual power pole will do the job. Whether the bottom is covered with mud, rocks, gravel, sand or vegetation doesn't matter.

He manual power pole will lock you in and let you forget about it. It's fast, quiet and effortless to use. Winds up to 30 miles per hour won't shake you loose. Your boat will be oblivious to the water currents. You can also forget about the clumsy boat anchor and the noisy trolling motor. So you want two anchors that are 10 feet? So you want two anchors that are 12 feet?

So you want two anchors that are 16 feet? I throw the anchor pins on the floor of my guide boat or tuck them along the side near the gunnels. I guide from a foot bay boat so I have plenty of room but they still get in the way at times. Obviously, the configuration options are limitless and you could use three of the four foot long sections for a twelve-foot long anchor or a variety of other options to meet your needs. Here are the details on building and using the anchor pins.

You need a two-part epoxy and it needs to be in a tube liquid style not a putty. When you stick the parts together use a lot of epoxies and when you get the part in place twist it around a few times to make sure it sets. This seems to get everyone all worked up and most people really overcomplicate the mounting solutions for the anchor pins.

You probably already have cleats in place for anchoring and mooring. The simplest way of securing your boat to the anchor pin is to tie them to the boat with a cleat and just cinch them up against the boat.

Another alternative is to use a stainless steel ring available at any hardware store and rope to strategically place them in various locations on the boat and leave them in place. Another alternative is to build a mounting system. The advantage is you can custom design a mount for your boat and the mounting location you prefer. Obviously, this requires some skills either welding or cutting plastic and assembly.

The biggest advantage of this is you can design something that will help keep the pole away from the side of your boat and prevent or limit it from rubbing against it. The final option is to buy a mounting bracket. If the fiberglass rod rests against the outside of the boat when in use and the boat is moving which is expected it will rub against the outside of the boat.

I rarely even wash or clean my boat. Buy a foam swimming pool noodle , cut a section to your desired length, and insert the shallow water anchor through the center of the foam swimming pool noodle.

This is the best option to keep them out of the way and keep them from bouncing around while driving. The bow nose of your boat should be faced into the wind when possible with the point of the bow facing directly into the wind. The anchor needs to be placed as close to the nose of the boat as possible and ideally right at or near the point of the bow.

The second anchor pin needs to be placed towards the transom back of the boat. You can place the anchor pin on the side but placing it in the very back on the transom is the best option. The least amount of sway movement of the boat back and forth will come from having the bow in the wind, the front anchor pin as close to the center of the bow as possible, and the rear anchor on the transom with it placed as close to the motor as possible.

There is no simple answer for every situation. If fishing in high winds then the simple solution is to anchor the nose of the boat with a traditional anchor. Once the traditional anchor is set, use the shallow water anchor to pin the boat in place at the bow and transom to prevent sway.

JB Weld, laying around. Already had the removable rod holders and just mounted two bases where I wanted them so the holders could be verticle. I wouldn't use them in good winds but that's the case with most all? Let me know if I can provide more info for ya. Re: Manual Power Pole On my little john boat that we used to put on the Salt River we had one called "tie us off to that tree limb! I fully understand what you described. Sounds like a great build! Do you put this through a tube rod holder?

Metal or pvc? I've seen this done a couple of different ways Re: Manual Power Pole Looks like these things are getting more popular with bass fishermen. Tackle Warehouse just added these to their website for sale Re: Manual Power Pole. I put mine through Scotty PVC tube holders. It isn't something I would use alone on a windy day, but My boat weighs in at s wet. The smaller the boat, the more I would use them on windy days.
