    Hear and feel clunking from lower unit

    I have read all similar threads and dull are different from my case. When I put in forward gear all is well. When I start getting on gas, this is when I hear and feel 5 or 6 clunks. If i gas it and come on up on plane, noise goes away and does not return until I stop and/or put in neutral

    Talon and Power Pole

    Wondering if anyone has seen a power pole or talon rigged up using the hydraulic jack plate motor. Should be able to rig up a switch to toggle between jack plate and anchor. Not sure if you could order just the anchor without the motor either.
