    Power Pole Height.......????

    I have two 8' poles on a 2016 520c .....Atlas hyd. plate.....need to drop them approx. one inch....to keep from hitting the top of 7' garage door.

    The mounts are even right now with the top of jack plate

    Will this cause other issues?

    Quite possibly they may drag in the water or when turning, won't directly hurt them, why not just lower them 1' with the button

    lower them an inch see if they drag every boat set up is different. If they dont great all set, if they do then deploy them before backing in garage. However remember when pullng out as this can be dangerous and expensive.. ask a few on here.

    I believe that if you drop it one inch below the top of the atlas, the spikes will drag on holeshot. Noisy but I don't think it will be a problem.

    Ok thanks

    I am going to try drop 1/2" first, I think that may be enough to clear door. I may just have to keep bumping them down and back up
