More Power Pole Questions…

To get my Eyra in the garage, I have to back it in, take off the transom saver, and trim the motor down. This allows it to fit without using the swing tongue.Questions... 1) Are the poles set deeper than the depth of the cowling trimmed down? Will it still occupy the same distance in the garage? 2) About how much higher over the motor do the poles go up? Have heard 16 inches or so? Thanks in advance. Linc W.

Contact Rich at Hydrilla Gear, he has a detacahable bracket for the poles where you pull a pin and the fold over onto the back deck. Very nice set up. http://www.hydrillagear.com/

Linc, we are not much on detachable brakes and pivots we have seen used. Our best answer to ou is go o the side mounted brackets, use an 8 pole for most of IL waters, dont worry about Blades and make it within our budget, get front foot buttons, mount the pump in your port tool area. You will need to place a reminder of some sort in/on your tongue to lower the pole when removing it from the garage. Take that reminder to the dash board to remind you to put the pole up once you are out of the garage. Reverse the process to remind you to lower the pole before inserting your boat in the garage. Slip it back up before going all the way in for wall clearance and leave the reminder in/on the tongue when you store it. That should do it. Best wishes, BCB

Linc,.On my 2012 Eyra the poles do not stick further out past the engine when the engine is trimmed down. It is about even. (if I could figure out how to post a pic Ive got a good one. If you send me your email I can send you a pic) From floor to the top of the pole is 82 inches. I hope this helps you.

You could just do a search in the net for power pole pictures and with that done you would be able to see just about any variation of set ups. Poles dont extend past a 250 Pro xs. Also if ya are going to use poles, use the Min Kotta/ talon brackts and not the PP brackets. They are far superior and they have the same foot print in regards to the bolt pattern.

Linc,Here are a few pics of my old Cougar FTD that I had blades on with the PP brackets that mount between the motor and jackplate. The height above the motor is fixed regardless of motor height and they fit under my 8 garage door with plenty to spare. As 5 keepers said, the poles are basically even with the motor when it is trimmed down. I have these brackets in my garage collecting dust if you are interested. I hope this helps.

Is yours the one piece or is it two single brackets? Dupo Marine said they had a one piece that they liked. Thanks Linc W.
