I have two poles on the back of my boat, one Pro II and one Xl. Today while fishing I put my poles down to hold my boat on a 4' rock pile in heavy wind/waves. When I went to pull my poles up the Pro II came but the XL did not. I tried everything I could to get it up but no luck, I was forced to limp my boat back to the ramp with a power pole half down. After pulling my boat out I discovered my hydraulic piston was extremely bent (not allowing the shaft to return into the cylinder). Has anyone heard of this? I have now owned 3 power poles and this is the first major issue I've had.
