How do the feet of the poles mount to the boat? I have a tracker pro 170 and am wondering if these will mount to an aluminum bass boat?

The poles come with a plastic bracket and two self tapping screws on each side also same for the rope and clips as long as you have a gunel more than two inches there shouldn't be a issue. For the price I am happy with the result.

With screws mounted through the gunwales of your boat. Helps to drill pilot holes in order to prevent sheering of the screw heads. My boat is similar (Alumacraft Trophy 170) and it works great.

Plastic mounts are screwed to the side rail of the boat. Then the plastic pieces at the bottom of the mounting poles attach to those and are held by a bolt and nut

The poles come with a plastic base where there are two screw holes drilled. The end of the pole is flattened with a hole in the middle to attach the pole to base with kotter pin.As long as the side of your boat is wide enough for the bracket to sit on then it should be no problem. The bracket base is about an 1" or less wide.

There is mounting hardware included in the kit, but you will need to drill a few holes to attach each mount where you decide is it's best position and trial fit everything where it provides good shade and will fold down properly on your boat. It helps if you have someone to help by holding the assembled top in place while you adjust it to the best position and mark the position. Not really hard, just a bit of trial fitting before you actually drill any holes. Hope this helps...

The poles are mounted to the boat by plastic mounting assemblies, which are screwed into the appropriate areas. My boat is fiberglass so the mounting was not a problem.

If u r making it permanent I suggest using 4x6 posts, use ibolts and drill holes thru the post and get boat trailer hand cranks to tighten top cable and a crank for bottom cable. That will be the strongest and best way to do it. Brian men can hang on it and not come down..

Yes they are quite easy to install wherever you want them. I have them installed on the front of my bass boat.

I had bought the pan fish specific model which is only used for smaller fish. I would go to you local sporting goods store or call a bass pro shop.

More than enough strap for that. I use it on a 17'6" Bass Tracker with at least the same amount of dry weight. I have had it installed for about 6 months now and we put the boat in and take it out at least once week with no signs of wear or tear.

I installed it on a 16' sylvan fishing boat. as long as you have a solid place to mount it you should be fine.

I built my own mount for about $15 using two conduit pipes and two pieces of wood, rope, and hose clamps. Works great, and been trolling the lakes for the last few weeks catching bass. Let me know if you want more info.

There were 2..but I sent them back and didn't use them, I have a 18ft runabout and they did not adjust close enough to the boat to help, also were not tall enough. I ended up getting 3 ft side boards from Bass Pro ($100) and they work great.

I would not recommend these for a boat. Also these are not as good as I thought they said to be. If you want bass these definitely are not the ones. Hopefully this will help.

I use the 600LC with braid trolling for bass with no problems so far. Set your drag right since there is very little stretch. I have a ten foot mono shock leader.On the 800 LC I use stainless wire and have caught plenty of bass and blues with no problemsGood luck

I'm not sure because mine are mounted on the side of my 5th wheel camper. But these speakers are build very well, the grill is well supported by the speaker housing. I really don't think you will have any trouble with these on your boat.

not sure. The holes matched the original holes perfectly. I am sure the old horns on the boat were original. The new set had the forward mounting bracket but the old one didn't

I'd recommend the MinnKota Trolling Motor Battery Box. It has everything you'll need for easy hook up, both from an accessory and battery standpoint. Great product that I've used for about five years now in my bass boat.

I installed mine on a 18' fish and ski boat I would have to think you could get an extension for it. SorryI couldn't be of better help.

I have a 17 foot bass tracker boat with high mounted seats and the cover has plenty of room to be bigger. I can't say for sure with your boat but I would guess that it should have no problem.

I have no idea as I used mine on a bass tracker boat and drilled thru the aluminum to affix the antenna

I could not tell you how to mount it, but I can tell you that it is plenty powerful. It is the only motor that I use on my vintage 12' x 5' Aluminum Ouachita jonboat with two heavy adults with the largest battery I could find along with about 50 ponds of gear and it gets us around great. Hope you have fun. I would strongly recommend this motor.
