    Power Pole Install=2

    Thanks to my friend Russell (BBC Stratos20108) for the major solid favor of helping to install my new Power Pole. Due to doc restrictions that remain in place, see Lea I am still being good I could not have done it without his help. We got it done inspite of barriers like already in place hardware, battery chargers and stainless hardware that would not give. Attachd are a few pics. My original PP had the 3 rise-3 setback bracke that JL Marine credited back for a one-for-one swap.




    This was phase 4 of the shipyard upgrades. Last one is a new 250 SHO...come on lottery. So far I have added HUmminbird 1197 and Interlink, moved 997 DI/SI to front, MinnKota Fortrex, livewell pump upgrades, first power pole and now the second.

    Thanks Russell!!

    Looks great and I like the new brackets.

    Are they both remote connected or just switched?

    Butch...original single pole configuration used the rocker switch. I mounted it up front next to bow controls and it was a pain; too far to bend. As part of the second unit installni added wireless remotes. Had I known how awesome remotes are I would have NEVER fiddled with the rocker or the foot switch.

    Gotta agree on the remote its a must have. I added foot switches at the bow and located the rocker in the console.

    I use the remote 99% of the time.

    Re: Power Pole Install=2 (HappyChamper)

    Well...if there is any "photo-chopping" it will be to put Don's 250 HPDI on my boat

    We fished together right before i was 'sawed in half' and he hinted several times about buying my boat. They are pretty much a matched set, but I could really use a Tim the toolman Taylor upgrade and get MORE POWER!!! Whoooo...whoo...whoo! Oh yaaaah. More power.

    Hey Don....I am ready for Pedal tray and Fortrex installl.
