power pole mounting

[speck-chaser]

About to pull the trigger on a power pole. Just wondering from those of you that be in the know, which mounting option you liked better? The transom mount,or the additional plate for the motor mount. I would rather not hafta drill holes into the trasom if I didnt have too,but I heard that there is more vibration from the motor mounted poles? Whats yalls thoughts? Tanks.

additional plate for the motor ! If ever u sale ur boat but wanna keep the power pole all ya gotta do is unbolt it ! It would be kinda hard to sale a boat with 4 holes in the transom filled with silicone !

good point!!!! If I did sell it though, I would prolly sell everything with it and get all new
on the new boat.

I mounted mine to the transom. No problems yet

Mine is on the plate.....which is better? Don't have a clue, I do know that the plate has some flex to it, so it gives some in rough water, which I believe will help in the life of the PP.

I have a Talon on the original Stainless 1/4 in. PP bracket, and although it has some flex it works great, and I feel the flex gives the unit a bit of stress reliefe! JMO

mines on the transom, no problems, will go with the boat when it's sold, if ever. nephew's is on the plate, can't really tell any difference.
