Anyone ever have a power pole loose in the up position. The mount is not loose but going down the road one shakes more than the other. One is stiff and doesnt move when you push it but the other definitely loose to the touch. Any ideas how to tighten it up?

I bought mine last year, and have had to tighten bolts up and down both poles twice due to regular use and getting hauled down the highway 4 or 5 times a week. Just check each bolt, and shake the poles with them partialy extended, you should be able to tell which ones need tightening.

I was gaining to ask if any stowed them while trailering. I guess a small bungy would be cheaper than I power pole sleeve they make.

The sleeve will help with bushing wear and tear.

Just use a small bungy. I have Blades, and a small bungy is more than strong enough to keep them from deploying. Even if you intentionally try to force them down, the bungy will hold.

It doesnt look cool though. So spend as much money as needed to satisfy the cool factor. cheers

Probly just find some Velcro straps to use. By the way. Deployed them, checked them all, seemed okay. When I raised them back up slack was out. I guess that was my problem
