at 1+ (813) 689-9932 option 2 or visit our website at www.power-pole.com.
INSTALLATION
Do not use the Power-Pole shallow water anchor
as your primary anchor. Never leave your boat
unattended while anchored solely with the Power-
Pole shallow water anchor.
CAUTION:
Adapter Plate Mounting
1. Please contact one of our authorized dealers or visit www.power-pole.com and click on “Find your
Adapter Plate.” For technical support call 1+ (813) 689-9932 option 2.
Transom Mounting
VERTICAL POSITIONING
1. Place a straight edge on the bottom of the hull directly
below and centered from the desired mounting location.
The lowest point of the Power-Pole anchor must be at least
4” above this straight edge or the vessel may experience
adverse handling effects. FIG. 1
NOTE: If the vessel is equipped with trim tabs that measure
9” or less in length, the standard 4” minimum
mounting height will be sufficient. If the trim tabs are
larger than 9”, the Power-Pole anchor will need to be
mounted higher up on the transom to prevent interference.
2. While holding the Power-Pole anchor in place, turn and tilt the motor as far as possible toward the unit.
With the motor turned toward the unit, manually move the anchor through its entire range of motion to
verify clearance.
3. Once clearance has been verified on the exterior portion of the vessel, check for adequate space on the
inside of the transom mounting area. Make sure that the bolts will not have any obstructions and that you
will have space to tighten the 5/16” tall brass nuts D.

STEP3Installing The Hydraulic Pump Unit (HPU)
1. Place the stern bracket against the transom, and mark the
mounting holes with a fine point marker.
NOTE: If installing 8’ Blade shallow water anchor re-route hydraulic
hose through the stern bracket side holes. See Step 4 FIG. 6
2. Carefully drill pilot holes in each of the four marked locations with
a 9/64” drill bit. Then, drill out each of the four pilot holes with a
5/16” drill bit.
3. Apply a liberal amount of marine grade sealant between
the stern bracket and the hull, as well as around the
5/16” holes.
4. With a 1/2” wrench and 1/2” socket, fasten the stern bracket
to the transom using the (4) 5/16” x 3.5” all-thread transom
mount bolts A , (4) 5/16” neo-bond washers B (4) 5/16”
fender washers C , and (4) 5/16” tall brass nuts D.
The rubber backed neo-bond washers B will protect the
powder coated surface of the stern bracket and they must
not be over tightened. FIG. 2 Neo-bond washers B are not
needed for 10’ Blade.
IMPORTANT: Unit must be through bolted to transom.
NOTE: If installing 10’ Blade install the shroud ensuring not to over
tighten the screws. FIG. 3

WARNING: Using anything other than an ISO 32 hydraulic fluid, such as Green Marine may cause damage
to the HPU, and will void your warranty.
3. Place the HPU bracket in the predetermined area of the vessel and mark the (4) mounting hole locations
with a fine point marker.
WARNING: Before drilling holes to mount the HPU mounting bracket, inspect the area beneath the
mounting surface to ensure that the drill bit will not cause any damage.
4. Drill a hole into each of the marked hole locations with a 9/64” drill bit.
5. Fasten the bracket to the vessel using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver and the (4) #10 x 3/4” pan head
screws H. FIG. 4
6. Once the bracket is securely fastened, use a 9/16” wrench to attach the HPU to its bracket using the (2)
3/8” x 3/4” bolts E, (2) 3/8” neo-bond washers F, and
(1) rubber pump gasket I. FIG. 5
NOTICE: This HPU will draw current (40 mA) from the
battery source when not in use. JL Marine Systems,
Inc. strongly recommends the use of a battery
disconnect switch.
7. Route the red wire to a 12 Volt positive source via
a battery switch.
8. Route the black wire to a 12 Volt negative source via a
common ground post.
9. Install the (2) ring terminal connectors J using wire
strippers and wire terminal crimpers.
10. Heat the (2) ring terminal connectors J with a heat gun
until their respective jackets shrink completely and adhere
to the wires.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT the red or black wire to the battery at this time. These wires will be connected
once the hydraulic hose is installed.
STEP3Installing The HPU (continued)
1. The hydraulic hose may be routed either
over the transom or through the transom.
FIG. 6 -11. If the hydraulic hose is not
being installed through the transom, route
the hose to the HPU and proceed to Step
4 below.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to allow an adequate
amount of slack in the
hydraulic hose between the
stern bracket and the point
that the hose enters the vessel.
This will provide for full up and
down operation.
2. Mark two 3/4” holes on the transom
above the water line for bushings K
spaced 1-1/4” apart. Then, drill a pilot
hole in the middle of each marked hole
with a 5/16” drill bit. Next, drill pilot holes
out with a 3/4” drill bit, route hydraulic
hoses to HPU through transom holes and
install thru-hull bushings K. FIG. 12 & 13
IMPORTANT: Put a small amount of marine
sealant around bushings K
before installing into the boat
transom.
NOTE: Thru-hull bushings K can be removed from hydraulic hoses if thru-hull bushings K are not being used.
4. Remove the blue and black dust caps from the hydraulic fittings on the HPU.
5. Remove the “Insert Up Hose Here Tag” and finger tighten the hose labeled “Up” and then turn fitting a

MAINTENANCE and Storage
• Inspect all hydraulic lines for kinking or abrasion prior to use.
• Inspect all hydraulic fittings for leaks and proper tightness prior to each use.
CAUTION: If disconnecting the hydraulic lines, please read the following:
Hydraulic lines are always pressurized and disconnecting them will cause
a sudden high pressure release. This high pressure release may cause oil
leakage from the lines and/or fittings. When depressurizing the lines the
unit must be supported otherwise the anchor will fall to the fully deployed
position. This may result in damage to the unit as well as bodily harm.
• Inspect all electrical connections to ensure that they are secure and free of corrosion
every 3 months.
• Inspect all fasteners for proper tightness after every 100 cycles to ensure that
the Power-Pole anchor is in safe working condition.
NOTE: Tighten the 2 lower stern bracket lock nuts snug and all other lock nuts
flush with the end of bolt with no threads showing. FIG. 1 & 2
IMPORTANT: The stern bracket hinge bolts on the 10’ Blade model do not
require retightening.
• Ensure that the Green Marine® biodegradable hydraulic fluid level is within
the indicator marks on the reservoir at all times.

• Configure settings for custom operation. Take full control
of everything from deployment speed to independent or synchronized
control of multiple anchors. Not to mention Auto Up/Auto Down
and bottom sensing.
• Troubleshoot with AMP streaming instant diagnosis.
The information is sent directly to the Power-Pole Technical Support
Team so we can instantly see what’s happening and you can count
on little or no down time.
• Check signal strength of all your remotes with
RSSI evaluation.
This allows you to instantly see if your signal is weak or if any other devices
are disrupting your signal.
• Update software. You will recieve automatic prompts to update your
C-Monster software if a new version is available.
• Quick product registration. Now you can easily register your Power-Pole
anchors and accessories directly through the app.
• Theft recovery. Once you register your Power-Pole anchor with the C-Monster App,
if it’s ever stolen we can help law enforcement track and recover it.
• Thoroughly rinse all moving parts with fresh water after each use.
• Always ensure that your Power-Pole shallow water anchor is in the stowed position when traveling.
• Lubricate the bushings at both the stern bracket and knuckle hinge points with spray lithium grease
every 6 months. FIG. 3 & 4
NOTE: Lithium grease application does not apply to stern bracket on 10’ Blade.
PRECAUTIONS
• Prior to use, read this guide carefully. Become familiar with the controls and how to operate your
Power-Pole shallow water anchor properly.
• Do not allow children to operate or tamper with the Power-Pole shallow water anchor without
adult supervision.
• Do not modify the unit in any way.
• Use only genuine Power-Pole shallow water anchor accessories.
• Always disconnect the 12 Volt power source from the anchor before servicing.
• In the event of HPU failure, your Power-Pole anchor may be manually stowed by activating the pole
protector valve.
- Do so by applying enough upward force to lift the unit into its upright position.
- If the anchor is not within reach, you may drive the boat toward shallow water.
This will apply enough upward force to lift the unit within reach.
• Be sure to have your Power-Pole anchor in the stowed (fully upright) position while operating your vessel at
high speeds.
• Always maintain a safe distance between the anchor and your extremities. Avoid wearing loose clothing
within close proximity of the anchor; failure to do so may result in bodily injury.
• Do not use your Power-Pole shallow water anchor as a form of assistance for entering or exiting the vessel.
• Never leave your boat unattended with the Power-Pole anchor as the primary anchorage.
• During situations with high wind or rough seas, your Power-Pole anchor may release holding pressure in
order to protect your vessel’s transom.
• If any debris gets caught around your Power-Pole anchor, disconnect the 12 Volt power source prior
to removal.

FAQ
Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: Can my dual Power-Pole anchors be controlled independently?
A: Yes. The C-Monster Control system allows for the independent control of dual Power-Pole anchors. The included
Advanced C-Monster Dash Switch is capable of independent control, but the included Standard Key Fob is not.
Q: What maintenance is required with my Power-Pole shallow water anchor?
A: The lower pivot bolts on your Power-Pole anchor need to be checked every 100 cycles and tightened as needed.
Should you see any damaged bushings upon tightening, replace them immediately.
Q: How often should I change my hydraulic fluid?
A: While there is no recommended time interval for a hydraulic fluid flush, the fluid should be changed if there
is any visible debris in the reservoir. Additionally, if the fluid appears milky or white it should be changed
immediately; white fluid is a sign of water intrusion and the entire system should be checked for leaks.
Q: What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?
A: The HPU reservoir should be filled with Green Marine® biodegradable hydraulic fluid or an ISO 32 hydraulic
fluid. Green Marine is available through all authorized Power-Pole dealers.
Q: Are Power-Pole HPUs interchangeable?
A: No. All Power-Pole HPUs, while identical in appearance, are unique in regard to the pressures that they produce.
Certain anchor models require more pressure due to their size, while other anchors are set with higher pressures
in order to enhance performance. Aside from HPU pressures, all C-Monster units have an internal circuit board
containing firmware that is specific to each model.
Q: How will the Power-Pole affect my battery during operation?
A: The average life of a 12 Volt battery with 55 cold cranking amps is 1,200 cycles per charge.
Q: Will the C-Monster HPU drain my battery when it is not in in use?
A: No. Although the HPU should be powered off via a battery switch when stored, the amperage draw on your
vessel’s battery during hibernation mode (40 mA) will be negligible. By default, the HPU will go into hibernation
mode after the Power-Pole anchor is idle for (6) hours. The LED on the HPU will no longer flash green when the
HPU goes into hibernation mode.
NOTE: The mentioned hibernation feature is only available with the firmware 1.15 and later. A firmware update
may need to be performed using the C-Monster smart phone app or the C-Monster update utility found at
www.power-pole.com
Q: Do I need two HPUs in order to run dual Power-Poles?
A: Yes. We recommend the use of an independent pump system with each Power-Pole anchor for the following reasons:
• Dual Power-Pole anchors will not deploy at the same time and/or same rate using 1 pump.
• The relief valves will not function according to the intended design of the Power-Pole anchor and may
cause a mechanical failure when using only 1 pump system.
• Many features of our newer models will not be functional when a single pump is used.
• Damage is possible using 1 pump with 2 Power-Pole anchors and doing so will void all warranties.
Q: What should I do if my Power-Pole anchor is stuck in the deployed position?
A: If your Power-Pole anchor will not retract for any reason, simply drive toward shallow water and the pole
protector valve will allow the anchor to stow. If the anchor still will not retract please contact a member of our
Technical Support Team for assistance at 1+(813) 689-9932 option 2.
Q: How many wireless controllers can I program to my C-Monster System?
A: Up to ten (10) wireless controllers can be programmed to operate your single or dual Power-Pole anchors.
Q: How do I program a new wireless controller to my existing C-Monster system?
A: 1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button on top of the (HPU) hydraulic pump unit for 3 seconds until the LED
turns solid GREEN (HPU will also beep).
2. Press and hold either the UP or DOWN button on the wireless controller you are pairing until the
unit responds.
IMPORTANT: The first time your remote is paired to a recently-updated pump it may perform a firmware update.
When this occurs the remote will blink for approximately 1 minute. Please do not interrupt power
to either the pump or remote during this process. When the blinking has ceased your remote has
finished updating and is ready to use.
NOTE: The pump will not update an unpaired remote.
Q: How do I adjust the speed on my included wireless Key Fob remote?
A: The included Key Fob remote comes out of the box set to the 100% speed setting. This can be adjusted by
downloading the C-Monster App and connecting to the system via Bluetooth with your Android powered
smart phone or Apple iPhone.
Q: How do I order a replacement spike?
A: Replacement spikes can only be ordered via phone. Simply call a member of our Technical Support Team
at 1+(813) 689-9932 option 2 for a free replacement. Before calling please be sure that you have your
serial number. Serial numbers are located on the bottom of the stern bracket on most models.
Q: Why does my Power-Pole anchor fall down over time?
A: This is caused by either an external or internal leak in the hydraulic system. First, check all hydraulic fittings
and hose for leaks. If no external leaks are found, please contact our Technical Support Team.
Q: What are JL Marine System’s hours of operation?
A: Business hours, including Technical Support hours, are listed at www.power-pole.com.
