Utility over performance
Jig Man:
I have gotten tired of stopping on the driveway and changing the angle of the motor and lowering the power poles so I can back in the garage. Then doing the same thing before I can get out of the garage.
So I just said heck with it and pulled the boat to the door. I lowered the jack plate till the motor cleared and moved the power poles down to where they cleared. I went to the lake and checked it out. I lost 2 seconds on hole shot but everything else works just fine.
When I got home I just backed it into the garage without having to adjust anything. It was sooo nice.
I probably lost some top end but rarely do that anyway.

My doors are 8' tall but i still have to lower my poles.

Sometimes the littlest things can make a big difference! Glad it worked for you :thumbup:

I have seen some tilt adapters for Power Poles that allow them to tilt to get into garages, etc.

Keep a remote for the PP in the truck, then when you back up, drop the pole w/ the remote! You can even get a inexpensive remote wireless relay set for controlling hydro jack plate or tilt/trim remotely, keep it in the truck, and modify it before backing into the garage.
