Step 9: Installing the Dash Switch
A. Locate a suitable area with a flat surface to mount the dash switch.
B. While holding the dash switch in the desired location, use a fine point marker to inscribe the
intended mounting screw locations.
WARNING – Before drilling pilot holes for the dash switch mounting screws, inspect the area beneath
the mounting surface in order to ensure that the drill bit will not cause any damage.
C. Using the 7/64” drill bit, carefully drill holes in the previously inscribed location.
D. Fasten the dash switch to the vessel using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver and the (2) #6 x 3/4”
pan head screws.
Operating the Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchor
HPU Controls
A. If needed, the “up” and “down” buttons of the top of the HPU can be used to retract and deploy
the Power-Pole shallow water anchor.
Dash Switch
A. The dash switch has three speed settings (slow, medium, & fast). Depressing and releasing the
“speed” button on the dash switch will toggle through the three settings. (See Image #10)
B. The LED on the dash switch will flash at a speed corresponding to either a slow, medium, or fast
setting.
C. With dual Power-Pole shallow water anchors installed, the dash switch can also be used to toggle
between independent or simultaneous control of the anchors. Depressing and releasing the
“directional” button on the dash switch will toggle through the three settings (port side only, starboard
side only, or simultaneous contol).
D. The LED will flash either port side only, starboard side only, or on both sides to indicate the current
control settings
E. To raise or lower the Power-Pole shallow water anchor, press and hold either the “up” or “down”
button on the dash switch. The anchor will only continue to move so long as you keep the button
depressed.
F. Alternately, the dash switch can be used to enable the auto mode. Double tapping (depressing and
releasing 2 times within 1 second) either the “up” or the “down” button on the dash switch will cause
the anchor to retract or deploy automatically. The Power-Pole shallow water anchor will continue to
move in said direction until it either retracts completely or senses a solid bottom surface.
Remote Control
A. To raise or lower the Power-Pole shallow water anchor, press and hold either the “up” or “down”
button on the remote control. The anchor will only continue to move so long as you keep the button
depressed. (See Image #11)
