I was looking at getting a powerpole but came across this on the internet. Which one would you prefer for a 19ft Mako CC with a 115hp merc. Bow or stern. What is the maxium depth that the anchor will anchor the boat.
Answer: If you are using a trolling motor on the bow start with a Classic or Extended (stern) mount. Some people are buying both in a package so they don’t wear put the trolling motor. Currently we offer a 8 foot pole, so your good in about 7 feet of water. (We are in the process of offering 10′ poles. I’ll let everyone know when we get them in)

I’m a guide in the 10k Isl. Bought a Egret 16′7″ a couple months ago and have heard great stuff about your Stay put anchore. What do you recommend.
Answer: Start with a Classic (stern) Mount
From: Ryan N (1/9/10)
I’m really interested in this system. I’m tired of dragging anchors along waiting for them to catch (tried several styles) just to drift past my fishing hole. I own a 21ft Mako 2101 inshore boat w/ 200 Merc. This is a decent size boat and pretty heavy. I would go with no less than the bow and stern mount to hold the boat from swiveling around. Where we fish there is always at least a 15 mph wind, with gusts up to 35 mph sometimes. Will stern and bow mount system hold my boat without breaking? Also, is the classic/bow mount package for $349 include both brackets, spikes, and all hardware to mount up?
Answer: Yes, the bow & stern mounts will completely stop you from drifting. Packages include both brackets, two poles, mounting hardware and storage clips for the poles.

Can you give me the footprint of the bracket i am very interested in the stern mount i would like to see if i can fit it in between my motor and my trim tab. And how far off the water line should the bracket be installed. I almost bought a power pole before I stumbled on your web site , great product.
Ans: The stern mounts are 4″x6″. With trim tabs we recommend the Extended mount. Install the mount about 2 inches above the water line.
From: Gerald (11/21/09)
I have a Champion 220 Bay Champ with Yamaha F150.
Ques: Will this pole hold that boat in tide changes along the Gulf Coast?
Ans: Yes it will. I have never had a customer come back and say they had a problem.
Ques: Would you recommend a bow or stern mount and why the one over the other?
Ans: I would recommend a stern mount for your boat. The stern mount gets the bracket closer to the water line on your boat
From: Mike (11/22/09)
Ques: How easy is it to remove the bow mounted anchoring system with the e-z to remove mount?
Ans: Takes about 2 minutes
Ques: Looks like a great product idea if there is no noise in the bracket or between the pole and aluminum mount.
Ans: The pole is fiberglass and the mounts are aircraft grade aluminum. No noise at all once the pole is in the bracket.
