Shallow Water Anchor Mounting Location
Step 1: Choose a Mounting Location
Transom mounting
Vertical Positioning
A. 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 shallow water anchor must be at least 4”
above this straight edge.

Clearance
A. 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 shallow water
anchor will need to be mounted higher up on the transom to prevent interference.
B. While holding the Power-Pole shallow water 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 Power-Pole
shallow water anchor through its entire range of motion to verify clearance.
C. 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 plenty of space to tighten the 5/16” tall brass nuts.
Adapter plate mounting
A. If there is no suitable mounting location on the transom, your vessel will require an adapter plate.
B. 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. [(813) 689-

Step 2: Mounting the Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchor
Transom mounting
A. Once the mounting location has been selected, place the stern bracket against the transom, and
mark the mounting holes with a fine point marker.
B. Carefully drill pilot holes in each of the four marked locations with a 9/64” drill bit. Then, drill out
each of the four pilot holes with a 5/16” drill bit.
