Home made power pole
 

Attachment 37114what do you think it extends 10 ft it uses air does any one have it mounted directly to there boat kind of scared of drilling holes in my boat . Does any one see anything they would do different let me know I could mass produce these if any one wants to try it out

ok so I have to carry a compressor on my boat to use it not trying to be a smart a** just wondering if that was the plan

What do you use to make it come up?

Reminds me of a jump to conclusions map if anyone catches my drift....(office space ;) )

I'm using a air tank with a compressor that cuts on when psi gets low. I'm just trying to save some money don't have 1700$ laying around for a real power pole but it will work just like one . I'm useing a stainless air cylinder

I got to see this thing in action .. Make us a video of it in operation .

You could also use co2 or nitrogen with a high psi regulator

Looks great to me! What size boat r u putting it on?

P.S. let's get a Patton real fast

Will do have a few more parts to come in and i will post it

161/2 cajun

It is also wireless but with only one remote

Great looking forward to the outcome! Keep us posted!
One question is there a release valve to pick it up, or is it Manual ?

Yes it is a double acting cylinder

Thats pretty cool

good idea to save money looks almost like real thing bet it work like a champ

I saw this a while back. It uses an electric linear actuator to move the parts. It's pretty cheap to make. Don't know how powerful it is to penetrate the bottom though.

neat idea

The only problem with that guys version is once its down it is rigid and can not take any waves

how about making bracket that extends off jack plate.

That's how my powerpole is mounted. Works greaf

Will do if I start producing them I have the measurement for one that mounts off the motor mounts and a shim plate for the other side
