I have a COB pole, with the PVC-type base and topper with shock cord.
But it isn't installed on my boat yet...

What I can't find on the Internet is an explanation of how to attach
the pole to the boat properly.

Can anyone advise?

We have a MOB pole which is meant to mark the place where the MOB went
overboard. So it isn't attached to the boat. As I understand it, you
throw it off and it sits there in the water near the MOB to mark their
location.

Bob made one with a bike flag on the top, a float in the middle and a
weight on the bottom. He checked it to be sure that it would float
in the appropriate configuration. We store it along the lifelines
next to the cockpit. It goes into a piece of PVC pipe that is clipped
to the lifelines.
