I want to use it for my kayak with the suction cup, and my fishing boat with a pole. Does it look like it would be easy to swap out the cup for a pole

The suction cup works great but the hardware to clamp it is pretty crappy. You may be able to mount it to a pole with some basic fasteners from the hardware store

Well, the suction cup is screwed into the base with a 1/4" (roughly) machined screw. And there's two locations were you can screw it in. There's a spot on the side of the "flashlight" as well if you want it to rest on your kayak horizontally. Not sure how you would connect a pole to it unless it also had a screw or was wide enough that the base of the light could rest inside it.

I am able to without any problem. Unless you have a defective product it should not be too difficult. Just push the end down and turn anti-clockwise then pull up to release the end from the pole. Hope it helps. Let me know.

It should work fine, you may have to bend the fastening hooks or create a sling for the kayak.

Well honestly I bought this one for my Hot tub so I don't need the pole. However I will say that this is very sturdy so what ever pole is sturdy too would be a good match!! It really is an awesome skimmer. :)

You could, but the foam that holds this pole and reel in place would have to be removed. It is a cloth like case; no support to it.I would use some of the foam that comes with it, to support the sides.

you are correct that the site should offer a pole that can be purchased to fit the hook. We were fortunate that our existing skimmer pole was a fit for the hook.

Hi, with a kayak, you should be able to rig it to hang any way you like. It may require a double wrap around the hull to ensure it doesn't roll upright, but I'm sure you could figure it out.

I tried it, and you can flip the bracket. Just check that the suction cups have a smooth surface to attach to.

I used it to replace an existing handle. Which had the hard wear, I simple removed and re-used what was there. There was a screw and washer. If you look at any other strap handles on a kayak they will be the same. It is a good quality when the other handle wears out I will then make it match. I would use a screw or a drill bit ( I had to drill them out) to cut through the strap. The holes are set in the plastic but not pre-drilled.

That's not a bad idea, but that's really up to you. I've run over over plenty of things from trees fallen under water to sticks thick enough that stopped my boat. The boat has survived them all. It's a great boat and was definitely worth getting if you want to see if kayaking was your thing. You need to run over something so sharp or hard that can puncture this boat, but if you're careful. This boat can last you for quite some time.

Funny! I tried it a for awhile, it did not work. Went back to it, it did not work. Finally I figured it out. Have you figured it out yet? A couple of things: 1) the pole pulls out to be longer. It should be as tall as you are. 2) it seems like it does not fit in hole. But, you have to push hard. 3) Look at picture on box. The parts will actually end up looking like the picture. (Smile)

Yes YOU DO, the pole it comes with DOES NOT stand alone..you need TRI-POD type,

Most definitely. You will want to search for the 3" Fitter version that comes without pole.

Absolutely. It comes with a hanging bracket should you choose to hang it instead of pole mount it.

I think it is too heavy for crappie fishing. Go with a medium or medium light pole for that.

It appears that after you remove the suction cup, the mounting would receive a hook. If you wish to add a hook to the speaker itself, I would suggest an "S" hook like those used for hanging plants. Some modification to the "S" hook would probably be necessary.

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.
