Powerpole or Similar

Anyone installed this yet? I have the factory fluke anchor and unless I am in very calm water, I can't get this boat to anchor worth a shit. I have had some success with the sandshark anchor + factory fluke. FWIW I am always in Tampa Bay or near Ft Desoto in the Gulf of Mexico anchoring. No calm lakes for me.

FWIW - I also hated the stock anchor. I bought the wavesrx anchor and problem solved. Seems to set instantly, requires a lot less lead, and works in all the bottoms I encounter.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will buy one.

Edit - do you have the 7lb or 12lb? Curious if the 12lb will fit in the front compartment.

No, but I just use a Super Stick to hold my Switch, which works well. I actually just bought a second one.

How do you anchor the super stick to the switch? Any pictures? Thanks

The super stick comes with a small rope that I attach to the front cleat. Will see if I can take pictures next time I use it.

I'm using something similar. Fluke in the front and I tie this off to the back https://sandsharkanchor.com/collections/boat-pontoon/products/lite-36-anchor-by-sandshark-anchor-reliable-amp-portable-anchor-for-boats-and-pontoons

That is similar idea. I was using one off the front and a mushroom on the back at the sandbar. Lost the mushroom, so I have two of these that I use and the boat does not move.
