PVC - 3/4” pipe cut to 8” coming from top of box, inserted into 3/4 to 1” reducer. I inserted a 3/4” coupler on the top of the pipe to look clean and prevent the anchor pole handle from getting stuck in the pipe. The reducer inserted into 1” coupler underneath the box lid. Another 3/4 to 1” reducer inserted into opposite end of 1” coupler. Then 3/4” pipe inserted into reducer and cut to length so that it extends through the box and either flush with the hole in the starboard or protruding through the bottom hole as desired.

Fiberglass Anchor Pole - I got from a local tackle shop for $45. It is an 8’ fiberglass rod with plastic T- handle.
