Do most guys install a power kill switch for the power poles to ensure they don't drain their cranking battery when the boat sits for 4 or 5 days??

If you dont you will ruin your battery, the power poles will drain your battery so low it will not take a charge!!!

I have rad something like this before and some say yes and others say they don't worry about it cause they keep it plugged in when they are not on the water!!

We install a switch on our installs but Power Pole has a software update to fix that issue and some others

I put a master switch on both of mine, in the battery compartment. Not so much for power drain, but just as a way to kill the power to the switch when not in use.

We connected the power wire to the main breaker for the boat that shuts everything off.

I am having to power pole blades installed at the legend factory. They sa Id they put kill switches on all their power pole I install . Seems like it would be a good idea.

I have never had a problem? Not too say there is not one but I am on my third set of poles with no drained battery issues...
Bluetooth and little green led's just a flashing...
Now I can see installing a kill switch or pulling fuses so they don't deploy going down freeway... If thats ever happened...

A Perko Starting Battery Cut-Off Switch is a Definite Must for newer boats, especially those with HPDI's,DMS PP, etc.
Those items listed as well as others not listed,draw continuous current.

Would love for some to post a pic of your installation of a battery cut off and a simple inline cut off for the PP itself. I have two PP Blades and see those blinking lights in the bilge area going 24/7. No that little LED light draws almost nothing but the bluetooth searching constantly for a signal from the remotes evidently draws more. Several here would love to see a pic how some of you fixed the "problem" Thanks, 361V.

mine are on the charger when not fishing, so I dont get a drain on my batteries at all.For those who dont, the switch seems to be a great idea for sure
