Apply Graphics Wrap with Power-Pole anchor mounted on boat
Tools and materials required
(not included)
1. Exact-O- Knife/ razor knife
2. 1 Cloth
3. Alcohol
4. 7/16”, 1/2” or 9/16” socket depending on Power-Pole model
Step 1 Cleaning the U-channels:
Clean both u-channels thoroughly with
alcohol to remove any grease or dirt. It is not necessary to remove
Power-Pole stickers however, if they are frayed for best results we
recommend that you remove the current Power Pole decal.
Step 2 Applying Your Graphics Wraps:
Note: The top portion of the Graphic Wrap decal has the Power Pole
logo and should be placed at the top of the u-channels. The Graphic
Wraps are slightly longer and wider than the u-channel allowing them
to hang over all sides. The excess will be trimmed off later.
A. Starting at the top end your graphic wrap decal, carefully peel about 10
inches from the back center portion of the decal (labeled with 3M logo).
B. Be sure the decal is centered down the u-channel then stick the top end of
the decal on the top end of the u-channel. Be sure that you have an equal
amount of decal hanging over all sides.
C. Carefully pull the backing off under the decal while sticking it down from the
top to the bottom of the u-channel. Apply slowly to avoid as many wrinkles
and air bubbles as possible.
D. Once the center portion is on, be sure there is plenty of decal on both sides.
E. Slowly remove the backing from the sides of the decal without letting them
stick to the u-channel. Then carefully smooth down the graphic wrap avoiding
as many wrinkles and air bubbles as possible.
F. Press the decal down next to the rubber running down the length of the
u-channel.
G. Using a razor knife trim off the excess material along the rubber and on the
ends of the u-channel.
H. Remove any remaining air bubbles by using the point of a razor knife or a pin
to poke a tiny hole in the air bubble, and then press smooth using finger or
other soft pliable material.
I. Use the socket that fits each nut and bolt as a cutting guide.
J. Using a razor knife cut out the holes.
K. Repeat steps A through J to apply graphics wrap to the second u-channel
Apply Graphics Wrap and rebuild Power-Pole shallow water anchor
using a complete bolt and bushing set
Tools and materials required

4. 7/16”, 1/2” or 9/16” socket depending on Power-Pole model
Step 1 Removing the cylinder:
A. Lower the Power Pole to ground and manually push up on the Power-Pole until
it is closed. This will cause the relief valve to activate and hydraulic lines will
lose pressure, thereby allowing you to manually lower Power-Pole to ground.
Note: hydraulic tubing is routed through the serial plate skip to step C.
If tubing is routed through a grommet in the u-channel follow step B.
B. Next use a 8mm or 1/4” open ended wrench to put around tubing to push in
on 90 degree push-fit connector ring on cylinder. While holding pressure on
fitting ring, wrap cloth around tubing and pull in the opposite direction at the
same time, thereby releasing tubing out of 90 degree fitting.
(IMPORTANT: when inserting hydraulic tubing back into cylinder fittings be
sure to cut ¼ “off the end with a straight cut.)
NOTE: For all Power-Pole models 2012 and later disconnect tubing from
hydraulic cylinder by loosening barrel nut with 9/16” wrench.
C. Now use a 1/2” wrench and 1/2” socket and ratchet to remove cylinder from
Power-Pole. Be sure to place Power-Pole cylinder in a clean location without
disconnecting the hydraulic lines.
Note: be sure not to kink the tubing.
Step 2 Disassemble the Power-Pole:
(Note: Be sure to label the u-channels)
Identify both the top and bottom of the u-channels and which one faces the
front of boat and which one faces rear of boat when the Power-Pole is in
closed position labeling them accordingly. This will help you reinstall them
correctly later. Now you are ready to remove the top and bottom u-channels
from stern bracket and knuckle by using the appropriate tools for your Power-
Pole shallow water anchor. Be careful not to touch the spike as it can become
fibrous after sun expose and use.
Step 3 Cleaning the U-channels:
Place bottom end of u-channels to your left
on a clean flat surface with the Power Pole logo decal facing up. Clean
both u-channels thoroughly with alcohol to remove any grease or dirt. For
best results when we recommend that you remove the current Power Pole
logo decal on your Power Pole.
