Warning... What I am describing here is not the real thing... just a cheap copy of Gary’s Soloright. I used the upper part of a composite windsurfing mast and laminated a paddle shaped piece of glass over the inside of the hull in an area where you would later attach the pole to the boat. The length of the pole is about the width of the trampoline... mostly for the ease of storing the thing. The angle of the pole when attached to the boat is setup so that the pole is approximately parallel with the mast (seemed to provide good leverage). The support lines clip into loops attached to the pylons (when I took the frame off I used the extrusions in the pylons for the loops). The line length is set up to maintain the angle described before. Just roll the Hobie on its side (in shallow water or on the beach) and set up the line length. Some coarse surface (similar to the stuff you would find on the deck of a surfboard) helps to stay on the pole.
