Want To Add A Power Pole To Bass Tracker 190 Tx

[Rich_F]

Hope this helps and if anyone has any questions please feel free. The Sportsman2 and Pro2 are different in a handful of ways. Other than the visual (obvious) one the Pro2 carries a different pump. Not to be confused by the motor. The Pro2 and Spn2 share the same motor... Yes the Pro2 is Blue tooth capable and has a longer warranty. Although I have not placed on a scale I would bet the 2 units are with in 2lbs of each other do to the different designed stern bracket. Neither pole was built for a specific built material boat. Both models function and hold the same amount of hull weight.

No wires are needed to run to switches. Simple positive and negative (just like competition). The pump is self-priming. Install time is on par with the competition as well. Dollar for dollar my opinion is you will come out ahead with a Power Pole purchase as well as durability and warranty...JMHO..

The Sportsman2 is a huge seller at its price point. One will want to step up to the Pro2 if warranty means anything to you (does me) and if being used in salt water. The Powder coating will hold up better and we all know warranty matters when subjected to salt...

Any help needed please feel free

From watching a video on *** it seemed that I can expect the powerpole to leak hydraulic fluid time from time as its a normal occurance? No leak to me is normal and its the only thing making me hesitant, Is it a wise idea to seal the compression fitting with a locktite to stop it from leaking?

[Rich_F]

This is not a normal or something thats to be expecter or accepted... Granted it can happen. The is generally from an improperly installed hydraulic line into a push-lock fitting. Or a damaged fitting. The older push lock fittings were also revised later on to include an insert which fit into the hydraulic line.

PLEASE NOTE:

ALL 2011 and newer power poles include a compression style fitting. The no longer use push lock fittings. This new style compression style fitting is similar to that used on a bathroom sink. Take the hydraulic line, slide the nut and a feral (sp) over the line, place into the fitting and hunker down...

Hey Guys,

I'm thinking about adding a Power Pole to my Bass Tracker 190TX

Having a hard time deciding which one to buy. You guys recommend any model or size? Also would I have to add a battery or does it run off the current two that came with the boat?

Thanks,

I am going to attempt to post pictures of my bass tracker 190tx 8' power pole pro.  I had bass pro mount the mounts.  I have 2 mounts and 1 power pole.  I had them mount both mount because you have to take the motor off.  I only had the money for one but plan on adding another in the future and I will be able to mount it my self now in the future.  I hope this helps,

Awesome man! Check out my other thread i posted on here of installing my power pole and humminbird unit. Pics are included as well

I'd recommend the talon, bud. Check my profile pics for how mine looks on my tracker 175. No extra battery, hydraulic pumps, etc. I added a quick disconnect from minn kota for when I'm sitting around, anchored down and don't want to use an battery power the whole time.
