Is it strong enough to use as a boat pole to pull in an 18' boat?

I think it would work fine. I'm assuming you are saying you want to pull the boat a short distance to a dock or another boat. It's stronger than the aluminum extension poles sold by fishing supply and outdoor stores.

I wouldn't trust it for that! It's not a steel hook. I'm careful not to let mine fall by accident.

It is strong, but it's still aluminum, I suppose if you didn't use too much force. I think I'd just buy a boat hook.

I don't see why not. The hook is extremely sturdy and can be screwed into place as well as threaded onto the end of the pole. I've been using mine to pull down entangled grape vines from tall trees, so I'm pulling really hard on it. A boat in the water should be a breeze.

Hi Beverly,The anchor should hold very well as long as the bottom of the lake isn't too thick with weeds.I have a 29 ft powerboat and it holds it fine.

I use mine for an 8lb mushroom anchor. Works great for that, sometimes I have to pull pretty hard if the anchor gets suctioned into some mud or sand or even wrapped up in vegetation. Something tells me you're looking for a heavier weight, but hopefully that's helpful to you.

I don't know how strong the mount is, but a backing and thru bolt would work. I mounted two of them for a BBQ, one on each side of my boat, in addition to fishing. Wayne

Yes it's strong enough for most applications. It's rated at 275 lbs. It assembles easily and has sturdy wheels. I am happy with the product.

No, It's not strong enough. It's made for pan fish maybe up to 4 pounds or so.

???? I have an 18 ft boat and it is way too big,especially at the back. I can cover my boat and motor and still have two or three feet extra. I swear it could fit a 22 foot length boat.note: If you install those poles on the inside to keep the puddles of rainwater from developing, this would held take up the extra slack that this tarp seems to have.

Yes. I use it for my 12 foot without a problem. Just center it under the canoe and push or pull it.

I think it would work well. I have a 12 foot, 135 lb sailboat on it and it works great.

As a boater I would say NO. I don't think it is stable enough for that use.

I use this on a 27' boat but it also depends on how big your anchor is. It has a 450lb capacity but I would probably not use this on a boat your size.

The diameter at the base is about 1.25 inches. Because the sections are held in place only by friction, I would not recommend using the pole in this way. The thinnest ~8ft would not be able to hold any load up in the air.

I use it to power my 2000 lb 19 foot fibreglass sailboat in and out of its mooring. It moves it along fairly well ( faster than trolling speed for sure) I wouldn't want it to be my only source of power in much wind. I'm quite happy with it.

If your trailer has a standard winch post, then yes. I put this on a 16' boat trailer...works like a champ!

This item is clearly not designed for an anchor that heavy, but it would probably work if bolted down on a normal boat, and not put under too much stress with a stuck anchor. It would be a big mistake to try using a 25# anchor with this strapped on an inflatable. Frankly, I wouldn't use it with an anchor that heavy in either scenario I noted.

It is heavy when full, so the pole would have to be very sturdy. Mine hangs from a tree branch

Yes it's very strong however I would recommend a slow speed of course. It's all welded seams and durable. We love this boat it's great!
