    Power Pole Question

    New to Poles. Just bought 3 month old boat. Port side pole will only go down with nudge from rod or something. Other deploys fine. Ideas?

    Put the app on to your phone, change the sensitivity to 4 on the down, should work. Also check fluid levels and for any leaking, I'm sure bleeding it may be usefull but not positive in how to do that. Also next time your out and deep, cycle the pumps all the way down and up a few times in a row

    sounds like pivot bolts are overtightened on the port side pole. Having to nudge sounds like a binding issue not sensitivity, lack of fluid or air.

    No need to change the sensitivity, leave both of the UP and DOWN where they are set from the factory.

    I'd start with the lower two pivot bolts at the stern bracket and make sure they are tight. Check all of the others to make sure ALL of the lock nuts are flush with the end of the bolt and no tighter than that.

    If the problem persists, perform a diagnostic test using the C-Monster App and send it to our tech support team, or call us at 813-689-9932 opt 2 and we'll be glad to help you figure it out.
