Does anybody know if this is a viable option for brackets for Power Poles? I would prefer Power Poles but with my carport having a low ceiling, I thought my only option was Talons due to the ability to fold them down. I found this pic and was wondering if anybody has this setup or sees any reason that it would not work?

I have no idea how well they work or if theyre noisy, but I know Hydrilla Gear sells them. They are about the best store to buy poles from as well if you dont already have a good source.

That is a Power Pole “Blade” in the picture. The tilt bracket between the mount bracket and the pole base.https://hydrillagear.com/shop/tiltremovable-bracket/

I know that is a Power Pole Blade. I was just saying that there are fold down brackets for Talons, and asking if the fold down brackets would really work for Power Poles as in the picture. I wasnt sure if there would be any ill effects. Thanks for the link to the brackets.Jim EbarbMany, LA (Toledo Bend Lake)2004 Cougar/ 225 OptimaxHumminbird Helix 12 Chirp SI on BalzOut Mount at bowLowrance HDS 7 at bowHumminbird Helix 12 Mega SI on Ram Mount at ConsoleLowrance HDS 8 in dash at console

I just sold my talons with tilt brackets and now have power poles. It might work but the problem will be the hydraulic lines. If you can keep from crimping or pinching them then theres no reason why it shouldnt work. Talons have no hydraulic lines, only 2 wires. I do know that the mounting holes on talons and power poles are the same, so you can use either brackets. Im using the big Talon brackets for my power poles on my bay boat because I didnt feel like pulling the motor to remove them.

They make quick connects for the lines, if you want to disconnect them. I cant vouch for the quality, but they are out there.
