Awesome, take your time. was a fun project.

Thanks, was a fun project. Just a Update on my install, I have had no issues at all. Was worried about the 3/4” holes but have had no cracking or leaking what so ever. All The brass nuts I did retighten a few months later.

Yeah mine is now hooked to a perko. But my boat stays plugged in to the charger at all times. Didn’t run a perko on my last boat with poles but would take almost 2 months of not running the boat for it to drain the battery enough where it wouldn’t start.

Thanks for watching. Couldn’t really find a in depth detail when I looked.

I couldn’t either and found yours I and many others thank you again!

@@boydsfishinglife3102 ...1/15/2022 ... I agree. So many videos including those from, "professionals", 😉 leave a lot of steps out. Yours is certainly one of the better ones. THANK YOU!! Also, this is the first video where the hydro hoses are not blue and black plastic that are meant to be cut to size. I wonder why PP changed them? I guess mine will be like yours. I am expecting my pair of 8' Blades to be delivered about 1/21/2022. Going on a Triton 240 LTS bay boat with a 250 Verado mounted to a Bob's 4" Extreme Versa Jac Plate. Again, thank you. Jeff

Sorry not sure the size off the top of my head. I went with what powerpole recommended

You can do the install without a jack plate. You just use different brackets. Yes I agree not only are the pole functional but they do make a boat look more complete lol

@@boydsfishinglife3102 I wonder what bracket. I thought I’d have to drill in the boat to make them fit without a jp. Looks like I’ll have to look into it more. Also great video man

Actually it is a little bit cheaper as you don’t have to buy the adapter for the jackplate. The brackets on your would use sandwich between the hull and motor. (No drilling)

Patriot Woodworx lol I did explain in the video that the aluminum bracket cut my finger. Wasn’t even installing it yet stupid thing.

But did you cuss? That’s what I wanna know. Or did you throw things. Just want to know if those kinda things are just a woodworking thing or if they translate across other types of work.

Patriot Woodworx ow there was definitely some words of wisdom said.

Yeah I was not happy with the size of hole I had to put in my boat, but with that said I have not had a single issue (yet) with water getting through or spider cracking.

Had the pro 2’s on my old nitro and honestly I just like the way the blades looked. I believe the blades to be lighter and mor durable. Also have option like drift paddles and mounted anchor lights. Took me about 2.5 hours start to finish and that was filming also.

@@boydsfishinglife3102 awesome thanks.. How have they been performing for you?

@@BryanJSmith-ne4kv flawlessly. Never a issue.

... The warranty is better on the Blades. I have 2- 8' Blades ordered and am searching everything I can find to help my install go easier. .

Ray Williams yes, but I don’t need to lower them. Have about a inch of clearance. You can stop them at any height you want

Holeshot didn’t seem to change much and no more water over the transom then what was there before. Biggest thing to check is make sure your not to deep in the water with the brackets. Nice thing is these are adjustable.

2 more question. How does your boat sit in the water. Does the Bow sit up high out the water. Did it change the water line around your rear of boat. Thanks in advance.

@@boydsfishinglife3102 2 more questions. Did it change how high your Bow sticks up out of the water. Did it change the water line on the rear of your boat. Thanks in advance

Didn’t notice any bow rise or water level change. The brackets and poles are really light. 1 battery weighs more then the poles, pumps, brackets, and fluid combined

With the 150 prosx, 6” bobs hydraulic jackplate I lost 1 mile per hour. Top speed now is 61mph cruses with two people and tournament load at 57-58 mph.

Yep 7’. A little lower with the lip of the garage door. They clear coming out but if they didn’t I could lower them with the key fob.

@@boydsfishinglife3102 stupid question, but do they clear backing into the garage?

Yep have never needed to lower them to get in or out of the garage. Also where your trailer ball height is set will change the angle also.

@@boydsfishinglife3102 thanks! I’m hoping when I get my new boat that the poles fit in without needing to lower them.

Tristan Friesner PKD-S-2-6. It’s the dual plate kit for the z-18. I am running a bobs jack plate so I had to run the spacers for that.

So the jack plate brackets have to be purchased separately?

Gerome Finley yes

@@geromefinley3162 ... Yes. All depends on what JP you have. .

Sorry just seen your comment. I thought the same thing when I bought my first set of poles. But that which don’t give will break. They are meant to be flexible. Powepole has put out some great videos testing these in white water rapids and it’s pretty impressive to watch.
