Power pole installation Lynx

Considering installing 2 8 foot blades on lynx. Are pumps being mounted on “shelves/trays” on both sides of bilge? How are hydraulic lines being routed to power poles? I did installation on previous boat but wanted input before starting this project. Thanks in advance.

Mine are both mounted on port side from Bass Cat.

Just had 10′ poles installed on mine. Both pumps fit nicely in the port side rear compartment.

Thanks so much for the replies, guys. One more question: Are the hydraulic lines run a) with thru-hull fittings, b) through existing holes, or c) were new holes cut/drilled? Thanks again.

Looks great! I really appreciate your effort. The willingness of fellow owners to help others is one of many reasons I returned to Basscat.

Sorry fo the late reply – I did dual 10’s on my Lynx – one per side on the “shelves”. For me I wanted them placed on the side they were associated with in order to prevent adding to the confusion if anything went wrong…. Also used existing holes for the lines. PM me if you would like more details or photos.

I drilled high up on the transom and ran the lines through, still need to silicone the bushings and push them in.

Mike,

Thanks so much for being the “guinea pig” on this project. I had decided that holes would have to be drilled but kind of dreaded doing so. Your setup looks sweet and the excellent pics will help tremendously.
