best possible performance and dependability. Please read all installation instructions carefully.
The information contained here describes the proper procedures for safely installing your
Power-Pole shallow water anchor. If you have questions, contact our Technical Support Team
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. Follow the instructions included with your Power-Pole adapter plate. If you do not have an adapter plate,
please contact one of our authorized dealers or visit www.power-pole.com and click on “Accessories >
Find My 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.

STEP1Choose A Mounting Location
STEP2Mounting The Anchor
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 outlets, with one hose out of each side. 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 (screws included with shroud.)

STEP3Installing The Hydraulic Pump Unit (HPU)
Figure 4
H
1. Locate a dry compartment in the vessel with ample space
to accommodate the HPU. The footprint of the HPU is
approximately 6.5”x 7”.
NOTE: Be sure to allow enough clearance surrounding the HPU
to install the (2) 3/8” x 3/4” bolts E through the mounting
bracket and into the HPU.
2. Remove the fill cap on the HPU and fill the reservoir to the “full”
line with the supplied quart of Green Marine® biodegradable
hydraulic fluid.
WARNING: Using anything other than an ISO 32 hydraulic fluid,
such as Green Marine, may cause damage to the
HPU.
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
7. Route the red wire to a 12 Volt positive source via a battery switch to prevent power draw when not in use.
8. Route the black wire to the 12 Volt negative 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.

STEP4Installing The Hydraulic Hose
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
quarter turn using a 5/8” wrench. FIG. 14 -17. Repeat this step for the DOWN hose.

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.

• 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
For Technical Support, please call 1+(813) 689-9932 option 2.
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.
NOTE: This is not required for 10’ Blade models 2017 and later.
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 is (6 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. When the HPU is awake it draws approximately (21mA) of current.
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.
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 70% of the highest speed level. This can be
adjusted by downloading the C-Monster App and connecting to the system via Bluetooth with your Android
