Step 1: Choose a Mounting Location
Transom mounting
VeRTICAL POSITIONING
1. Place a straight edge on the bottom of the hull directly
below and centered from the desired mounting
location. The lowest point of the Power-Pole anchor
must be at least 4” above this straight edge.
Note:
If the Power-Pole anchor is mounted lower than
the 4” minimum, the vessel may experience adverse
handling effects. (See Figure #1)
CLeARANCe
1. If the vessel is equipped with trim tabs that measure 9”
or less in length, the standard 4” minimum mounting
height will be sufficient. If the trim tabs are larger than
9”, the Power-Pole anchor will need to be mounted
higher up on the transom to prevent interference.
2. While holding the Power-Pole anchor in place, turn and
tilt the motor as far as possible toward the unit. With
the motor turned toward the unit, manually move the
anchor through its entire range of motion to verify
clearance.
3. Once clearance has been verified on the exterior
portion of the vessel, check for adequate space on the
inside of the transom mounting area. Make sure that
the bolts will not have any obstructions, and that you
will have space to tighten the 5/16” tall brass nuts
D
.
Adapter plate mounting
1. If there is no suitable mounting location on the
transom, your vessel will require an adapter plate. We
offer adapter plates to accommodate a wide variety
of applications. Please contact one of our authorized
dealers or a member of our sales staff for an adapter
plate recommendation:

2. All adapter plates are accompanied by installation
instructions. Refer to the included instructions while
installing the adapter plate as well as the Power-Pole
anchor. Please contact our technical support team

Step 9: Installing the Dash Switch
1. Locate a suitable area with a flat surface to mount
the dash switch.
2. The dash switch must be installed with the slot in the
base facing downward, which can be accomplished
by using the supplied adhesive strip
N
or the (2)
included #6 x 1/2” pan head screws
G
.
3. If using the (2) #6 x 1/2” pan head screws
G
, use a
small slotted screwdriver to remove the dash switch
cover plate. (See Figure #12)
4. While holding the dash switch base in the desired
location, use a fine point marker to inscribe the
intended mounting screw locations.
WARNING:
Before drilling pilot holes for the dash
switch mounting screws, inspect the area beneath
the mounting surface in order to ensure that the
drill bit will not cause any damage.
5. Using the 7/64” drill bit, carefully drill holes in the
previously inscribed location.
6. Fasten the dash switch base to the vessel using a #2
Phillips-head screwdriver and the (2) #6 x 1/2” pan
head screws
G
.
7. With the base installed, ensure that the rubber switch
membrane is seated properly prior to installing the
cover plate. (See Figure #13)
