    Power Pole question...

    I just bought a Ranger that had two 8 ft Power Poles on it. One time while fishing I put them both down and fished for a little while but when I tried to get them back up, only one came up. I tried both switches with no luck. Finally I wiggled the fuse holder and everything started working again so guess the fuse wasn't making a good contact. Now my question is, if one or both are down and won't come back up, what can I do to be able to run back in to the ramp ? Is there some kind of release where I can pick them up by hand? Thanks....

    Put the boat in reverse and and back the boat towards the stuck pole. This will release the hydraulic pressure and you’ll be able to pull it up by hand.
