CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase

of a Power-Pole

Signature Series shallow

water anchor featuring C-Monster Control

System. It has been designed, engineered,

and manufactured to provide the best possible

performance and dependability for years of

enjoyment.

Please read all installation instructions carefully.

The information contained here describes the

proper procedures for safely installing your

Power-Pole shallow water anchor.

CAUTION:

Do not use the Power-Pole shallow water
anchor as your primary anchorage. Never
leave your boat unattended while anchored
solely with the Power-Pole shallow water anchor.

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

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: [phone] option 1

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
with any questions: [phone] option 2
