    Micro anchor

    Where can I get a longer pole? Who makes ones a pole that will work? I asked Power pole a long time ago and they said yes but could not give me a name. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    I am pretty sure any 3/4" fiberglass resin pole will work.

    Put a quick coat of paint on it out of a buzz bomb. I used one of those for close to a year with no problem.

    Grinder or you can get a drill and tap for get what size bolt. I think it a 3/8 stainless bolt. Drill a hole in the rod, tap it with the correct tap for the thread pitch of the stainless bolt your going to use. Take a grinder using a cutting wheel and cut the head off the bolt. Sharpen it with a grinding wheel and screw it into the bottom of the rod. That's what I did. If you want you can get some 2 part epoxy and use it to fair in around the rod and bolt for a smoother transition. Sound more complicated than it really is.

    Never had a micro anchor I had a mount on the front the pole slid thru to hold the boat. They say any 3/4 inch pole will work with the micro anchor.
