The homemade pole that I had for my 360 and LVS32 was off the side on the starboard side right behind my Millennium rod holder on that side. I currently have mine on my trolling motor and haven't decided if I want to move it back to the old location, motorized pole on the trolling motor, or leave it as is and get another one for a manual pole (running two and switch as needed). There are pros and cons of trolling motor vs manual pole methods, although the manual method was simply because I had a Terrova back then.
