You will have to see if Navarre Kayak Fishing will make you the mounting plate for the second power pole. It's not the same product, its a complete reverse of the standard power pole plate they make.
Rigging The Ultimate Tournament Fishing Kayak
This is a video series documenting the building of my 2023 tournament fishing kayak. I'll be modifying and adding accessories to my Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 136. Most of these modifications and additions I will show you, will be able to be made to work with most fishing kayaks.
I encourage you to follow along to this series.

Bro cutting the track in half for the mounting system on one side is absolutely genius!! Great job and great video, see you on the water.

👊🎣

[@BeardedDadFishing]

Very clean install and thorough explanation. Your set up is great my guy 👌🏽

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Appreciate you!

[@robbiejohnson3698]

Good thinking 🤔 thanks for the info

[@NLMainChannel]

Turned out great, buddy.

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Thanks for making some great addons!

[@jasonhayes2778]

That's just sick and thanks for the video. Did you use them alot on your AP120?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

I don't use them a lot because my style of fishing. But when I do need them, they're priceless.

[@westgarzr3366]

How well do the two power poles work to hold you in place and prevent spinning?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Not great. They need to be wider

[@snowmanfl]

you’ve got spotlock

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Correct, I do.

[@tannermetz8576]

Excellent content! Have you had any issues with the screws from your GearTrac pulling out since this install?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

No, I have a very loaded down kayak, and an extra 135 amp battery in the kayak. This past week, i lifted the kayak onto the trailer using the power poles as handles. Its sturdy. I will tell you, the dual powerpoles the way they are mounted here are not perfect at lockong you into place. I will have a video soon showing how they work.

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Thanks! Nope, they hold strong 💪

[@bassfishingtactical3450]

Any reason you didn’t use rivnuts. “Threaded rivets”? Instead of the tracks?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Never used them before and I know the power of what the tracks can hold.

[@HarlyGuy13]

Well done on that second setup. Do you use two to prevent spinning?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

That's the idea!

[@mouaem1]

@@CaseyReedFishing how has it been for preventing spinning?

[@glxbe]

can you sync two power poles to the same remote or app so they drop at the same time?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Yes, you can.

[@jwalker497]

have you used this? i’m curious how the powerpole is holding up on the side with no brass inserts? have you used it??

[@CaseyReedFishing]

The one is installed into the stock brass inserts but the second one on the right side of the kayak is mounted to tracks. The tracks have probably 8-10 screws each holding them in. So between 16-20 some screws into the thick plastic that old town is known for, has held up very well for me.

[@jwalker497]

what size hardware did you use? anything you have to buy separately in terms of hardware

[@CaseyReedFishing]

I believe the power pole comes only Somes with hardware to bolt on but I think to install into the brass inserts you have to get bolts that fit that.

[@PhilFryOutdoors]

Can you get one remote to control both power poles together?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Yes, you can pair them together.

[@PhilFryOutdoors]

@@CaseyReedFishing Thanks, I installed mine and it worked out great. The only thing I did different was Marine Goop on my drilled holes for the track.

[@CaseyReedFishing]

@@PhilFryOutdoors awesome man, share some pictures with me on Facebook or instgram if you can!

[@robbiejohnson3698]

Do you have the 6 ft pole or 8ft pole?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

8ft pole.
