    USA Power pole questions

    Looking to get a 06 ranger 188vs with a 150 optimax. Looking to put power poles on it. I would be buying 2. Should I go with blades or pro series 2's. If I go with the blades will the red match the boat. It's kind of like a Maroon color. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

    I'd do the Pro series in black, red might clash.

    No way I would put red, black would look better. We have an 08 at the shop for sale that color and we have a new Triton going out with red Talons on it, CLASH big time to me any way.

    I chose black on my stratos and was glad I did when I bought my blue Ranger. Moved them right over without a thought. Black works with any boat. I have 10 ft blades and they rock.

    Can't go wrong with black because it matches the Mercury.

    I got the Sportsman2 series. Why, because I like the flat black color and it is cheaper than the others yet works exactly the same. The blade is good and the higher price is mainly because it is a cleaner design where the fiberglass pole fits into the slot on the blade. The others the fiberglass sticks out an inch. The blade is available in 10 ft also where the others are only available up to 8 ft. If somewhere down the road you do not like the flat black anymore here is an awesome solution: Power-Pole Wraps - Shallow Water Customz

    I chose a pair of black blades. I beleive the warranty is better on the blades.


    I bought mine from Hydrilla Gear. He has the best prices. http://www.hydrillagear.com

    "I believe the warranty is better on the blades."

    Power Pole warranty no matter which ones they are is very good. A couple weeks ago one of my motors quit. When I took it apart it was rusted due to the fact that when I put it together I crimped the o-ring and there was no seal. I sent them my the old motor and in a couple days I had a new one. Then the programming/ power light on top of my other motor went out. Called them at 4:00 pm and before I got home the next day it was on my porch. You just can't beat service like that!


    Have a good one and thank God for it!
