Dale Nelson Posted August 16, 2019 Report Posted August 16, 2019 Has anyone just swapped an older 6’ powerpole to the older 8’ using the existing transom mount?
HarleyG8r Posted August 16, 2019 Report Posted August 16, 2019 Found this out the hard way. You can use the mount from a 6 footer with an 8' pole, but the mount from the 8' pole will not work with a 6' (there's a notch cut in the mount where they hydraulic actuator mounts; on the 8', the actuator mounts to the pole itself. Did the same swap and sold my old 6' pole with the new mount; the buyer was very confused when it didn't line up. Ended up buying him a new mount.
Dale Nelson Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Posted August 16, 2019 Thanks, that was my plan- well not buying someone a new transom bracket😳
