Depends on how you fish. One Power-Pole anchor will stop and hold a 4500lb, 28’ boat. With one Power-Pole anchor your boat will stop quickly but wind and water current will determine which way the bow of the boat will face. You will not spin in circles unless you are in the eye of a hurricane!
With two PP anchors you have total boat control and can position the bow of the boat in any direction despite the wind and the current direction.

When stalking fish in shallow water you need to be extremely stealthy. Power-Pole anchors are designed to be swift. silent. secure.
When you are deeper than 10ft of water you can use other methods to hold a boat in position.
Also, keep in mind, the deeper you anchor a boat, the greater the forces on the transom and the heavier the unit would need to be.
We believe 10ft is the maximum for strength and accuracy.
All of our hydraulic anchors utilize the same technology. The main differences between anchor models are the hydraulic pump, size, color options and warranty. Take a closer look.
Depending on your fishing depth, you need a Power-Pole or a GPS lock trolling motor.
In shallow water a Power-Pole anchor will quietly hold you in place without making noise, using battery power or mucking up the bottom, spooking the fish.
A Power-Pole anchor also allows you precise bow control and allows you to fish in any wind direction.
When using a trolling motor to lock a boat, the trolling motor will do it’s best to hold the bow into the wind or current, sometimes pointing the back of the boat to the fishing spot.
This is OK for water deeper than 10ft but a major disadvantage in shallow water because the motor speed will constantly vary, resulting in unnecessary noise and bottom disturbance in shallow water. Also while you are locked in shallow water you are draining your trolling motor batteries.
No. Each Power-Pole anchor operates off of an individual pump. Each pump is designed with different pressure and speed settings built specifically for each model. Our motor assemblies feature a water resistant housing built for the marine environment. We use the smallest most compact pumps available to allow for an easy install in almost all boat models. Even in a dual installation.
The Micro anchor can stop and hold boats and kayaks up to 1500 lbs. (including boat, motor, gear and passengers)
Are you ever going to make a Power-Pole anchor deeper than 10ft?
No. In our research we have found to go deeper that 10ft would put too much stress on the anchor and cause a loss of stopping ability making the anchor less effective. And the additional weight can potentially diminish the performance of your boat.

When Power-Pole anchors are connected to your boat’s 12V battery there is no significant drain on the battery because power is only used to raise and lower the anchor, there is not a constant draw of power to hold your boat in position. Power-Pole anchors deliver up to 1200 cycles (raise and lower) per charge which is more than enough for any day on the water.
We have created over 85 custom adapter plates to accommodate all boat, motor or jack plate combinations. Our adapter plates are designed to be lightweight and strong for any Power-Pole anchor you choose.
Our Adapter Plates are designed to tuck in close to the motor to be less intrusive on the rear deck when using dual Power-Pole anchors. This design / angle also allows for a superior hold by increasing the distance between the two spikes when deployed. Resulting in a better, stronger hold in all fishing conditions.
We also offer adapter plates for pontoon boats in deck mount and pontoon brace mount. We even offer a bow mount adapter plate for your Micro Spike Driver unit so you can add an additional spike to the front of your boat for even more stability.
We do not offer a universal adapter plate. In order to accommodate all boat, motor and jack plate combinations a universal plate would be too bulky and significantly heavier which could significantly reduce your boat performance.
Depending your style of fishing some of our most popular accessories are wireless foot switches, travel covers, drift paddles, spike wraps and apparel.
Our C-Monster Control System is the advanced operating system built specifically for the marine industry that lets you control and customize all new Power-Pole products. It puts features in your Power-Pole anchor so you can fine-tune your boat for any conditions and your specific style of angling. The C-Monster app allows you to connect, control and customize the entire family of Power-Pole products.
Our Advanced Surface Mount wireless remote grants you the power of complete control. Enhanced with C-Monster 2.0 featuring 2-way communication and stronger signal, you get faster response and easy upgrade capability.
Features:
*Note* All Power-Pole® shallow water anchors come complete with everything necessary for a transom mount installation.
The differences between each series can include the finish, the hardware used in construction, pump speed (deployment time), colors and sizes offered, as well as the warranty terms and details.
What colors are available for the Power-Pole® shallow water anchors?
Power-Pole® shallow water anchors are available in the following colors:
All Power-Pole® models include all hardware for a transom mount. However, many boats cannot accommodate a transom mount. For boats that do not accommodate a transom mount, we offer a complete line of adapter plates that will fit virtually any boat/jack-plate combination
Contact your local dealer, use our Find My Adapter guide or call our Tech support hotline at (813) 689-9932 to determine what adapter plate will work best for you.
Price for installation varies from dealer to dealer and boat to boat, so we recommend calling your local dealer for installation pricing. Find a dealer near you here.
Yes, however you must possess the skills and tools necessary to complete the installation properly. Therefore, we strongly recommend having your Power-Pole® shallow water anchor installed by an authorized dealer.
Boats of up to 28’ in length and 4500lbs
Please visit the accessories page of our website for an up to date complete list.
As the manufacturer, we recommend the use of independent pump systems with each Power-Pole anchor. Following are some reasons:
Furthermore, since damage is quite possible using one pump with two Power-Pole anchors, doing so will void all warranties. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact our technical support staff at 813-663-3999.
We suggest you use Green Marine, which is a non-toxic and biodegradable fluid. Green Marine can be purchased through any of our authorized dealers or here on our website. As an alternative, any ISO032 hydraulic fluid or SAE10 oil can be used.
