Thread: Power pole anchor

The best and cheapest way to go will be to buy a used mercruiser trim pump from ebay or somewhere. A common buy will be under $150.00 and it will be rigged with solinoids and mounting bracket and be somewhat water resistant. example Trim and tilt pump Mercruiser 350 454 | eBay.

Now I am on the hunt for a 2 way cylinder. I need the smallest bore I can find and a 12" - 14" stroke. must be 2 way. I am a gun smith so I can do the needed machine work and have the equipment to do it. But I don't have the ability to weld aluminum. Anyone have the ability to weld heavy aluminum want to do some labor swapping?

I use a bamboo pole and a blakemore gripper. It holds my boat (15')

I wanted one too and solved it with a Terrova I-pilot but I needed a TM anyway. The spot lock feature is just one thing I like about it.

Yeah, But that cost more than my boat! LOL! Srsly, how well does a spot lock work? good enough to tight line for Red Ears?

It works great on anything.If the wind is say,5-10 it holds within a 6 foot circle. I tightline allthe time. If your locked in on a spot and a large gust hits you it takes it a Second to recover. I love the remote for dobbing jigs around logs and stumps. It is more useful crappie fishing than bass fishing.

Call this # 618-883-2417. Its called easy spud.

Be cool to hook up sometime, I would love to see that work. I assume it interfaces with your gps?

It has it's own GPS.
