Power Pole?

[cj707]

Anybody have one on an Allison? I think you can mount em to the jack plate. Like to see one mounted before I buy one.

Are you dead set on a power pole? Have you seen these?

If I was going to add one, I'd probably go this route because it'd be a lot easier to just pull the pole out of the sleeve and leave it at home when I wouldn't need it. Cheaper too!

I'm pretty sure I saw a white and black XB-21 with a single power pole mounted....Actually looked VERY cool

These new ones from Minn Kota look pretty cool. They just go straight down rather than swinging out. Might make it easier to mount on a jackplate...

Here is a link to a photo of a XB21 with twin power poles mounted:

It'd be handy for beaching....to avoid pulling the boat up on the bank. Other than that, I think it ruins the looks of the boat. Definitely not aerodynamic! It'd be interesting to see if those poles sticking up in the air scrub off any speed.

I've been thinking long and hard about putting one on my xb2003, it would have really helped this weekend in a tourney where the wind was blowing me off my bedding fish constantly.

would be great for beaching at the river too, if i did do it , i would put in quick connect hydraulic fittings though. undo two quick connects, 4 bolts and it's off when you don't want or need it!!

How much does one of those things weigh?

 

[Bobalouie]

30-35 lbs according to what I could find about them.

Not set on anything. Just thought the power pole gets out of the way when you deploy it. I think the minn Kota is still sticking up in the back. Back seater will probably beat it it up with lures. Venom pole looks interesting too.

Just put a talon on my new 21 had to modify a extension bracket to make it work but it's gonna be nice. Comes of with 2 bolts

 

[cj707]

where did you mount the Talon? On the Jack plate or the transom. Post a pic or send me one when you get a chance. Thanks

 

[merc106]

I'll get some this weekend
