Does it stay in place well? I was worried about the pole inadvertently turning with the hoses or socket extension when it was laying slack. The main reason I was looking at drill extensions is because everything turning internal, but I’m worried about the torque with it.Originally Posted by Fishfood123

It works fine but I am going to add a piece of rubber on an adjustable knob that contacts one of the collars on the shaft to create some drag; sometimes pole moves when you adjust positions with the trolling motor.

Went with the socket and flexible extension. It works a lot better than bending over to move the handle. I didn’t put a knob on it yet, so that will be something I incorporate next.

If I come across an old trolling motor, I’ll likely mess with it.

Hydraulic hose with a pipe thread ends and then adapt to your size pipe. Use a short section of bigger sizes hose 1-1/2”+ just long enough that it will bend 90degrees and then a piece of pipe to use to twist it with a tee. You can install a tee on your down pipe to act as a pointer or cut a pipe of cutting board into a point and drill a hole and put on as a pointer also.

I’m thinking about hydraulic hose similar to what’s already been used on another brand. Have to drill into a cap to secure the hose then glue the cap on. Stiff enough to flex and turn but also movable

I think it would be more rigid than the 3/8” flexible extensions that I used. I had to decrease the tension to turn it without the extension folding over. Hasn’t given me any issues trolling though, so it may work out well.
