That anchor rod looks fairly small.

I wonder how it holds up when there is a wind or some current.

At least when a Power Pole is deployed, it's not sticking up 4' in the air obstructing fishing. The MK is always "up".

Thy are so close to the motor that I really don't think it makes a difference. Especially if you trim the motor up to troll. I have a powerpole and think that in 4 foot or less of water that it sticking out of the back of the boat is more of a problem.

I have on occasion forgotten the PP was down and got on plane - some time for a while. No issues. How does the MK hold up to owner error?
