    power poles tipped in?

    My old SP2s were mounted vertical to the hull, watched some youtube vids on installing my new Blades and one suggested tipping the poles in for a better hold when deployed. No probs with motor clearance but they look a little odd mounted like that. Couldn't find anything doing a search, what do you guys think? Thanks

    please do not teepee your poles, put a dam level on them and make them straight. There is zero reason to teepee them. It does not provide any more of a signifigant hold and as Rich said ( and I agree) it looks odd. make them straight my OCD will thank you.
