A year ago, I set out to make power poles DIY-style for tiny boats after watching "The Low-Budget Outdoorsman's video on his version of a DIY power pole / shallow water anchor systems. I've finally refined the version into a very nice set-up on this up and coming yak killer - the Alumacraft TS-14 restoration. This is a good alternative set-up if you don't care for the expense or look of micro anchors.

Modify your boat at your own risk.
holy crap the way your mind works is impressive. Your eyeball and on the fly engineering skills are impressive.
I’ve known people like this, with incredible talent to see something in their head and build it with their hands. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your ability.
That's right up my alley. I have worked with aluminum for over 30 years...thanks!
Unbelievable how well they work i run 2 of these on a 16ft Lowe roughneck with just me on the deck
This is wayyyy beyond my pay grade. I’d be drilling screws through the boat and transom to hold that metal sheet in. And the holes would be in the wrong places. Plus I’d be grouchy when things went wrong. This guy is actually enjoying himself.😵💫😳👍🏼
Sweet use of an old tackle box. You can make round washers from plastic using old, standard size sockets as punches and a hammer, custom sizes 😎
Thanks for the tip!
Hey Michael, I'm a full time pro photographer, and I dabble in the video side of things as well, including some minor vlogging.
If you want to spend less than $3,000 on a camera setup, get the Canon EOS RP or EOS R body, the Canon branded R to EF lens Adaptor, and a 17-40 F4L. It will do everything you need for your vlogs, and the autofocus on it is amazing. The R is the better body. I personally own the R, and can attest, it's a very very good body. I recently used it as my fulltime backup while my $6,000 1Dx was in for repairs. I can answer any questions you may have, I'll also send you a PM on Facebook. Love your channel!
@@TinyBoatNation If I had to spend under $1,000 , this is the kit I would get.

I personally own the manfrotto mini tripod and LOVE it. A lot of people really like the jobi tripod tho.
I have the azden mic with the deadcat, and a Rode mic without the deadcat. The audio off the azden on my list here is much better. The Rode mic's are just have too much bass.
I highly recommend getting two extra batteries. Always buy name-brand batteries for any camera you get. Don't buy knockoffs. I've wasted hundreds on cheap knockoffs that don't last longer than a year.
Now the camera, The EOS M50. I haven't personally used this one, but from what I saw in other reviewers, the autofocus works just as good as it does on my EOS R and 1Dx Mk2, when shooting in 1080. Even tho it says "4K shooting", this camera would not be a recommendation for 4k at all... stick with 1080 (which is what most vloggers do anyways...)
Anyways, there's what I would get. I think I kept the whole thing under $1,000 (that's literally the cheapest setup I would recommend anyways) We can connect on FB or IG, I'm willing to help you with anything on it if needed. Either messenger, or a video call if needed.
That's pretty amazing. It amazes me how smart some people are. I definitely don't blame you for wanting to build your own. The store-bought power poles are completely overpriced. I look forward to seeing more footage on this when you get out on the water and try it out. Look forward to your next video and again nice job.
Well “ artist “ I’d like to buy a painting lol. I’m going to give it a shot and build two for my old boat when I actually have time to work on it. Keep up the good work and just know that your talent and ideas motivate a LOT of people.
Did you get these built ?
You are a ingenious man . Love your inspiration and vids
hey
ich komme aus Deutschland und ich liebe deine arbeit ..
du bist der grund warum ich dieses jahr auch ein eigenes Boot bauen möchte..
großes vorbild …
mach weiter so :D
This is a awesome boat
You nailed it with the poles. Do you have any plans or blueprints to share? I'd start building these tomorrow if you can give us some measurements
That is LEGIT! Well done.
Take my money dude awesome job
That’s really cool man, thanks for sharing!!
that's freak'n awesome, great job!
Sweet been waiting for this
I really like the direction you take with your builds. I’m a DIY guy and I’ve been building boats on & off for over 30 years. I find some of your videos very very difficult to follow in terms of a diy video. Because I have been doing this so long, I can certainly replicate your power poles in this particular video but what about the people who are green to the whole boat building thing? They will never be able to follow. Maybe it’s just me. Thanks for doing what you do.
Gonna put them on my 10 foot tracker topper
Can you do something like this on a fiberglass boat?
Great video, I enjoyed the engineering / DIY aspect of the video and I know you
Do it this way so that the average dude could build one. But man, you should get yourself a welder set up for aluminum. Then sky’s the limit for your builds and will inspire more dudes to learn to weld aluminum too!
Cheers!

Thats so awesome man!! Having these would eliminate achor ropes in my way on my 12ft! Man oh man have u got some ideas swirling in ur head mr lopez lol dope vid, YOU DA MAN BRAH!!!!
Wow great video
If you want faster deployment go to a junkyard and get the hydraulics off of a convertible car. I grabbed the 12vdc motor/reservoir and cylinders for 40$. I also picked up 3/4" fiberglass mesh reinforced stakes from garden center at wally world for 6$. Good luck
Good job!
What is the length of the actuators you used?
Nice work.
Awesome idea! How have they held up?
I need to get a parts list for this!!
This is awesome. Any way to speed up those actuators?
No and honestly they are a waste of time. I will just get manual anchors. We saw them on our site
Hey mate how many mm/s we’re those actuators I’m building a set of these my self but want to get the right speed cheers
WOW! Thank you for this video!!
Great video!
Is there a kit for this all for the power pole system
How did the linear actuators hold up considering that model was made for indoor use? Any issues with them being in or near the water?
I wouldn't do them. It was a fun experiment but this doesn't last for a long. I would just run manual anchors. They're more practical
I love the concept and you did dang good work. What's the longevity of those power units thougu? cause the ones I found on amazon dont actually appear to be water tight
@Robert Tidball
The *concept* was back many years ago before production, *the company started producing them in 2012*
What are you using for you anchor rod? Fiberglass? First time watching this video
How much would you charge to make me a pair for my 12 foot jon boat
Would you make one to sell? And if so how much would it cost?
You have to contact our Midwest shop
Do you have the plans for this, and can I buy them
Do you have any drawings with measurements for this?
I wonder if they make faster actuators, like the ones on the power poles you can buy.??
@@TinyBoatNation
Oh ok, thank you sir.
I like the electric ones you showed.
Would this withstand a 18 foot bass boat? Im curious and im leaning on getting them, can you contact me some how? Nice work🤘🏽
We sell better ones on our website tbnation.net. They are called Roy’s Shallowater anchors
Do you have a single switch to run both? What happens when you are over an un even bed?
@@TinyBoatNation Thanks for the reply. I am going to attempt to make a video on building a little beefier set for my 16ft Tide Craft bass boat.
Have you ever considered making and selling those shallow anchors ?
Someone has it’s called www.power-pole.com
Whats an achor?
Please make a kit for this
Great video topic. If you can it would be far more watchable with the camera not so moving. Harder to edit. But far easier to watch
Can anybody please tell me what kind of motor he had to push the pole down
linear actuator
Nicely done. I want to attempt these also. How deep will yours anchor?
Great video. Where do u get your anchor rods?
Left pvc shorter than the right? Doesn't really affect it right
@@TinyBoatNation i figured maybe a couple inches wouldnt matter either way just a pvc and it looks like it works great, I like how you added stability to it too good job bud
How do you wire a windy nation actuator the blue and green wire from the switch hook up to where
@@TinyBoatNation the switch has black and red then blue and green coming from the other end of the switch . The switch is the same one your showing in the video. Thanks for any info much appreciated
Figured it out thanks for the help
Love this idea!!! I have a question, I have a 17.5' bass tracker, are these sturdy enough to stabilize my boat? Thank you in advance.
Tim Simmons
why is everything backwards in the beginning?
This I'd awesome
Would you sell this anchoring system ?
How much for you to build me one for my kayak?
Could u do a vid on framing a boat with wood?
Ok thanks
I was very curious how these were built.
Way to see a problem
I just got a dirt cheap jon boat and trailer, so I've dug myself into this rabbit hole of DIY mods. Gotta stick with the cheap bastard theme tho
Man that looks too difficult.. for an anchor . Cool build and idea but too much going on imo
Yes finally first
That's what happens when you choose a loser friend for a friend your friend only thinks of himself that is my thought what is your
How deep will the anchors work?
Buy an ipilot much better lol
My question is WHY THE F*$K DO THOSE DAMN NYLOCKS SEIZE WITH AN IMPACT DRIVER.??? man thats so annoying i do that all the time thought it was just me..
Spins them to fast heats them up and bang siezed....try running bolt over bar of Irish spring soap acts as a lubricant and not messy like neversieze
@@chriskelley34 idk man i wouldn't think a impact driver driving a nut an inch at most would create enough heat to seize it. Next time im gonna check to see if its hot. To me it seems more like jumping a thread or something but i could be wrong i never thought itwas heat related good point.
@@TinyBoatNation
www.rg-group.com/blogs/what-is-stainless-steel-galling-and-what-causes-it/
Stainless hardware cold seizes with vibration.. you need to coat the threads with anti seize.
Heat.....Hot shit melts soft shit
I so want to do this on my boat.
Micheal What’s your email address? I need to talk to you about a boat I have.
