    Power Pole Prob.

    When I bought my boat in 2014 it came with 10Ft blades. Since I only used them for launching didnt have much use for them, so I sold em and bought 8 ft Sportsmans.

    Now the problem, seems like every year one or the other goes out, I mean the boards. Now PP sends me new boards, but I am getting tired of not knowing if they are going to work,

    Any suggestions. I called PP and they didn't have any idea either. As soon as PP starts charging me for boards they are coming off .

    Do you have your poles on a battery cut off switch. Are you cutting off the switch before plugging in your onboard charger..?

    that means nothing.. im just tying to possibly isolate your issue as your experience is not normal Ive been thru 3 sets of poles over the last 9 years and have never had a circuit board failure ( knock on wood). as many as your having im looking towards a wiring issue possibly one in boat itself , feel free give me a call if want to discuss further. what your expereiencing is 100 percent not normal not the frequency your going thru boards.
