    Russel Marine Anchor light-Power Poles

    I've got both of these items (Power Pole Blades) and I can't seem to keep from sheering or pulling apart the wiring to the anchor light. Anyone have any tips on how to keep from destroying the wiring?

    Do you need to leave any slack? Do you route them behind the piston? Thanks!

    You have got to be doing something wrong
    They have a YouTube video on how to install
    I've installed dozens and haven't heard of a single problem

    No question about whether I'm doing something wrong! That's why I'm seeking help. And with that said, I found the video. And that is the clue I needed! Thanks!

    I had to zip tie the wires in place inside the Power pole. Have not had a problem ever since.
