    2 Power Poles 8' on RT 188

    OK guys.... Thinking of putting 2 - 8' power poles on my 2019 RT 188. Anyone have them on theirs? Likes? Dislikes?
    I have a minnkota Ulterra with anchor on it. Would the power poles be overkill as I fish shallow weeds alot. I also like the
    power poles for launching and keeping the boat steady.
    What are your thought?? I dont want to get them and then have them installed if it is a waste of money with little benefits.
    Thanks

    The anchor feature on your trolling motor might not be ideal for shallow water and weeds. Poles would be nice to have in your situation. I'm guessing it doesn't void the warranty anymore??

    It still does on the RT188. It does not on the RT188P.

    I only have one due to warranty but wouldn't be without it! In shallow grass you can drop them to work an area over for an hour and not have to worry about battery consumption.

    Anchor features are better suited for deeper water imho. Congrats on the rig!
