    Cracked PP Bracket

    Anyone ever get a crack in a Power Pole Bracket? I messaged them about it but never heard back.

    I have had 2 crack on me, including the pole foot itself. They replaced the foot for free and I installed Talon brackets to replace the PP brackets. They are the same bolt pattern

    My opinion is these poles vibrate/wave around so much during on the road travel that it wears out the PP knuckles/bushings rapidly. At highway speeds, the force on 4+ foot of pole sticking up may be attributing to cracks in that pictured location. The force of the pole settling into river/lake bottom isn't enough to cause that.

    I utilized a camera to monitor my 8' PP's in an effort to stop the road vibration issue. My SS ratchet strap solution should also resolve this as it stabilizes the poles where they attach to the brackets.

    As everyone has said in the past, incredible customer service! New bracket sent and installed. Had to send the old one back, no questions asked.
