Take a look at this post, http://seadoosportbo...andia-ski-pole/
We recently discussed some of the complications of operating the Islandia ski pole, I posted a manual in that post that might be able to answer your question. Keep us posted on what you find out because I sure others will be faced with the same challenge.
Tks, Kevin
Believe it ot not I contacted 6 different sea doo dealers and none of them had a clue on how to remove or collapse the ski pole. One dealer even gave me BRP's phone number, they told me they could not help that the dealer had to contact dealer support.
Okay, well according to the 2008 manual supplied on this forum, looks like the pole simply unscrews out of its base. I tried that already but didn't try real hard.
Meanwhile what I figured would happen, happened. The pole went through my new cover. luckily, it seam stitching let go before the cover ripped. So at least I can probably get repaired for cheap.
Now let's see if I can get that bugger off!
