Shallow anchor

[alphaman]

I want to get one but i dont want a jack plate. I saw one mounted behind the motor on a 19ft frontier without the jack plate.

Does Anyone on here has their power pole mounted this way?

They make a bracket for that. If you get a 10' you have to get a braced bracket. The best way to mount one imo is to the transom above the waterline if possible. Ive done both.

I had that on my last boat Alpha. It was a bracket that went in between your transom and your motor. Worked good with a clean look. You just have to have something to pick up your motor. Thankfully I gots equipment for that.

Thats what i like about not having a jack plate. It looks clean plus im not adding much wait to the back.

He's talking about for the install. Like a motor lift or something. Bring it by my house we'll put it on. I have a tractor and some chains

10 foot blade and love it. mine sticks above the motor a good bit. i got a new phone or i would have a picture

thinking the same thing, about a 10 ft. PP. Only problem is that I have a 6" Bob's JP and would rather not mount it to the transom. Does PP make a bracket for this?

They do make brackets to fit on the jack plate itself now.

$100 difference between the 8' and 10'. might as well upgrade to the 10'...

That don't sound good at all!! That would suck loosing a power pole in the slop!

I have an 8' and it flexes a good bit when it rough...ive watched Shaws 10' on the same boat as mine and it flexes a good bit too..not a whole lot more than mine though...I wouldnt be one bit worried about it Lawrence.

Thanks

When my 8' wont catch its time to start anchoring off anyways...theres only been a couple times fishing big lake that i wish i would have had a 10' but when ive used it in toledo bend ive wanted it every time..if you dont have one yet go 10' and be done with it...you can stop it half way down to be able to clear low areas, its how I do with mine.
