Need Help Mounting Power-Pole To Nitro Z6

[Backlash123]

Happy Holidays everyone.  In need of some help here.  My wonderful wife bought me a 8ft Power-pole for Christmas, and now I'm trying to figure out how to mount it.  I was thinking of mounting it directly to the transom, but I don't believe I have the room.  So I started looking at the adapter plates, and on the Power-Pole site, it doesn't recommend a mount for the Z6, but it does for the Z7, which I'm assuming would work just as good.  Has anyone mounted a Power-Pole to a Z6, or know of someone that has?  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.  BTW, it's a 2014 Z6, and I was planning on mounting it on the port side, for weight distribution purposes.

 

Thanks.

Might do better in the Bass Boat forum. Not being a Mod., just trying to help. Power Poles, I think, are the best boat accessory in the last 20 years. Brian.

 

P.S. Your Wife is awesome.

Call the company. Do not guess & drill & cave in the hull in a weak spot.

Great Point.  Maybe the mod will move it.  And BTW, she is.  She bought me a new flippin stick and reel as well.  As I researched more, I found the adapter plate for this boat, it's only available for the starboard side (guessing due to the ladder placement).  I'm going to call Power Pole tomorrow and confirm, but it's a 14" setback with a 6" rise which is required.  Gonna also call around for someone to mount it, I don't really trust BPS, so I'm going to call a local shop as well.

 

Thanks.

Just make sure that having someone other than BPS install it won't impact any warranty you may have on the boat.
