Traveling with push pole


NCTribute

Recommended Posts

Man, I worry about this too.   My last boat had a PVC pipe attached to the trailer bunks which hid the pole out of sight and allowed it to be locked and secured.   I've not set that up for my current trailer because I rarely travel overnight with her (and my pushpole is a cheap moonlighter).   IF your trailer is long enough, the PVC option may be the simplest way to minimize the risk of theft (or it bouncing off the boat)

I sleep with mine in the room. They're too *** expensive to leave out in plain sight.

How would you get it into the room? Unless you have an older motel with doors that open to the outside, there is no way you will get a pole from a hallway into a room, and unless you are on the ground floor into an elevator.

I hid my older, shorter 19' under my truck when parked in the parking lot. It seemed much less obvious zip tied up under the truck. My current 22 foot Stiffy I leave on the boat because the triangular end has a hole in it. I run a bike lock through there and then lock it around the trailer. 

Good idea on the lock at the foot, this should work for my push pole and least be some deterrence.

Life is too short to lose sleep over a push pole. 

My triangle foot had a hole in it and I used a bike lock on it. If you can't do that I would just run it under the trailer and zip tie it to the frame. Odds of someone stealing it are somewhat low, since it's not exactly the easiest thing to transport. 

I'd be more worried about a trolling motor
