Right not wanting to come up

[Drami04]

8ft blades. Deployed poles port side comes up fast normal
starboard u have to hold up button a while before it comes up only in deep water (full deployed) in shallower water half deployed they both come up a same time
air in line

seems to have to build pressure up to move pole up, but down works great

[Hydrilla Gear]

The pumps not going to "build psi"

Check for kinked lines or over tightened hdw.

The Power Pole will pull slack when fully deployed.

[Drami04]

It takes a couple seconds but will come up have to hold button left comes right up and right comes up about 6 seconds later only when fully deployed
when in 3ft both come upat same time

I would agree with Rich look for over tightened hardware causing a bind when fully deployed as well as not enough slack in the hoses.

Ok took your advice and found a kink when pole deployed. Question does power pole warrenty the hoses? Do they have repair kit or replace both kinked hoses... How hard to replace the hoses?? Pretty straight forward disconnect lines and run new ones?

pretty straight forward yes. Give power Pole a call, explain situation Think you may be surprised at the end of the phone call...and posting how great there Customer service is.

[Drami04]

Thanks for quick response hands down power pole has best customer service by far.

[KandKKustomz]

happy to help!

Power pole sending replacement tubes and hardware to replace lines.. i dont know why anyone would use other shallow water anchors with customer service so good
power poles are the BEST. Hands down!!!

I agree and why WE do not sell any other brand of shallow water anchor!!

Drami04, where did you find the kink at in the lines? I am having the exact same problem with my 8 foot blades when fully deployed and I have checked for over tightened bolts as recommended by power pole.

[Drami04]

The kink was before were the black line attached to the piston thing ..How I found it back boat on lawn took off spike and deployed power pole as far as it would go.. layed on grass and looked at

So it was right before where the line connects to the hydraulic cylinder that's inside the power pole?

[Drami04]

Yes, but only way it would kink is with pole deployed that’s why i take spike off

[FlaPhoenix]

OK I will have to pull mine out in the yard and do the same thing. Thanks for the help.

Just wanted to add some information in here. When we come across a system that has a kinked line, it is almost always due to the routing of the tubing from the anchor into the hull. There has to be enough slack or a "service loop" to allow the tubing to be pushed out of the stern bracket when the unit is deployed. The tubing wants to push out of the anchor when it is deployed, so not having free movement there will usually result in a kink. If it is a straight run from the anchor to the boat, the tubing will sometimes kink, rather than push out of the bracket in a free motion.

I hope this makes sense, if not please feel free to email support@power-pole.com with some pictures of your install and we'd be glad to provide any help we can with correcting it.

[Drami04]

I think this is exactly what happened. From factory the lines are ran out the side by ranger but, if they would run the lines out the hole on the middle mounting (bracket) this will allow alote more free movement

my 2 cents

Just replaced hoses was about 1 hr deal run hoses straight threw mounting bracket works great.. Thanks again PP CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR GREAT SERVICE
