I've used this pole for a few years. It tended to break at the pole joints under side stress when picking it up to place it in the boat. I used some PVC pipe down the center and duct tape to hold the joints together. It looked cheesey but worked.
The best features of this product is the mushroom top that helps to spread the weight off a single point and a wide base. There is a small hole in the top of the mushroom into which you can screw a snap. If you have a snap already on the cover this will help keep it where you want it on the cover. The wide base keeps it from moving or falling as you are finishing putting on the cover.
This year I took the best of 2 worlds and got an aluminum adjustable height pole and fitted the mushroom top and base to it. This is a little more expensive but worth the cost in aggravation. Classic Accessories Boat Cover Support Pole (Black)
It's a tad flimsy, but seems strong enough. It didn't work for what I needed, but that's more my fault. easy to store under a seat on a boat since it breaks down, you need straps or something to hold it in position, having it just under the cover, even with a tight pull on the cover, will not keep it in place. That's what I was hoping for, but oh well. - Boat Covers'
