Power Pole Pro vs Sportsman

[jsmoke222000]

My Power Pole will be in tomorrow. When I was shopping around for mine, everyone that had one on their boat told me 2 things. Get the remotes & get an adapter plate. I took their advice & got both of those accessories. I just wasn't crazy about drilling 4 holes in the transom of my new boat!

Is the adapter plate supposed to be more stable than mounting to the transom or is it just to keep you from having to drill the holes? The adapter plate cost me $150, but not having to drill the holes was worth that much to me. Anyone have any feedback on the adapter plates?

I'll post pics of mine when I get it on the boat. I'm hoping to get it installed Friday afternoon. We will see if that works out or not.
