    Do I install two on one boat or one on two boats?

    The wife just gave me the go a head to get two power poles for fathers day. Great gift. I have a Champion 188 and a 1860V Legend SS river jet boat. Do I put both power poles on one boat or do I put one power pole on each. I mainly fish rivers so my original thought was to put two PP on one boat so that it does not swivel down stream once I deploy. Will two PP hold my boat in river current without twisting? What would you do?

    If I used one boat a lot more than the the other I would put two on one.

    If you got two talons you could get four mounts and swap them out with the quick connect wire system they sell for them. When you unplug them, there is four bolts you loosen and the whole thing slides out of the bracket then you slide it in the one on the other boat....just a thought. and my single talon holds my bass boat in current on the river.

    And you can get a 12 foot talon for the same price as a 10 foot power pole.....

    I switch my power poles with my two boats. Very easy, just got a quick connect hydraulic fitting then just take them off one boat and put them on the other. Most of the time I use one on each boat but I easily can add the second to either boat. I do have pumps in each boat but well worth the price.
