Why not take a loop of webbing, and bolt it to the deck? One on each
side, off to the side so that the loop extends a bit wider than the
boat. Then you can pass the pole through the loop, and drive it into
the bottom.

That sounds like a great idea, Myron. I have used the handles on the side of my
SOT for similar purposes.
