[QUOTE="johnnybassboat, post: 426230, member: 10511"] Oh yeah back to the op questions. :lol: I have built a lot of manual anchor poles and brackets, but have not attempted to go the powered route. I believe that a hinged system like the power pole system would be easier to build. The MinnKota system has a sliding pole system that would be difficult to make. Have given this issue some thought and was thinking about air driven instead of hydraulic. A small 12 volt compressor would most likely be enough to power the rams up and down. We use all kinds of pneumatic powwer and cylinders at work and you would be surprised how much a little air can do. Good luck and keep us posted if you give it a shot. [/QUOTE]
