Power pole Mounting Location

[Hookem40]

Just curious...I hand my Pathfinder dealer install a powerpole. They told me they like to install them low. I noticed that the Pathfinder manuel shows the backing plate higher up. Also, the bottom of the pole sits in the water a couple of inches when upright. Most pictures I see have it mounted higher. Should I be concerned?

Nope, don't worry. Mine is mounted in the same place and works great.

I do not know if it matters, I have seen them high , low, off to the side of jack plate, etc.  here is a pic of where mine is mounted.

Yours is mounted in the correct location, the low location will give you the ability to stick in slightly deeper water.

like your location ht. the best, pole out of water as well as mounting holes. backing plate higher for a reason I guess per manuf.

Yours is done correctly. Not to worry. The advantage here is that you will be able to anchor a little deeper than those mounted elsewhere.

Question,, why didn't you mount it to the jack plate??

I mounted mine there and have no issues. Plus the whole thing took less than an hour to do.

Just asking.
