Curious about Power Pole Move.

[rps]

The recent guide trip was my introduction to a new trolling motor, the Power Pole Move. Just because I am curious, tell me what you know.

Well they FINALLY got the weight down👍 

Way better than those ridiculously heavy other options that are causing the bows of boats to suffer. 

The props seem to be breaking a bit too easily.   Best carry 2 spares......and not just ONE.

Looks like Lowrance and Ultrex are the heaviest. The Power Pole and Garmin Force are about the same. 

I picked up a 57" Garmin Force since they're discounted pretty heavily right now. I installed one for a buddy a couple years ago and it seems to be working well for him. 

I'd be curious to hear about Power Pole as a company, where the stuff is made, and how good they are about supporting their products.

I don't think Garmin counts the mount in the weight of their motor. Amazon list the shipping weight at 98lbs

I figured when they came they would be a hot item. Priced higher than anything at the time,  so they must be the best. I'm not saying they  aren't. I rushed and had a mount made for the LSmount foot contol for livescope I make to fit  the Power Pole. Figured on getting some orders for it. I have yet to sell one to a dealer or individual and they've been out about 2 years it seems. I really don't know why. I'm sure they are excellent.
