Bjrseno Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Has anyone had issues with installing power pole on a aluminum Bass boat. I have a Ranger Rt178 with 70 hp Zuzuki. Since power pole has been installed I am having porpoising Issues. It feels like to much weight in the rear of boat. I had dealer move Engine up one notch. Has improved but still having issues. If anyone has had some of these same issues I would appreciate Your input. Thanks Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted August 17, 2015 Super User Posted August 17, 2015 Can the porpoising be eliminated or minimized using the trim? You may have to redistribute weight in your boat too and move some heavier stuff up front. Quote
Joespy Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 What model of power pole did you instal? Did you instal 1 or 2? Quote
Joespy Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I went with the Micro power pole on my 2014 RT178. Holds the boat in heavy wind and waves. Great addition. Quote
Jackson Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I have an Xpress h20 and I had similar issues. I Redistributed weight and adjusted the trim and mine works fine. Hopefully that works for you. -Tight lines man. Quote
