Just bought a boat with power poles and I've never used them before. 2012 Blades.
First time out I was in deep water and lowered both all the way down. Was not able to raise either one. The pumps would run, but no movement.
I ended up getting in the water and pulling up on each pole while my partner pushed the up button and they started working. Water temp was 89
degrees so not a big deal (actually felt refreshing), in early spring time this would not be an option.
Is this normal? If not, what do I need to check to fix the issue?
TIA
