Gladiator pole navagation light
stock one is being a pain and not wanting to stay lit/connected very well and I lost the damn bottle cap thing to keep moisture out when not in use :whistle:. was thinking maybe id go to a cool telescoping powered one that pops up when I turn on nav lights. only issue being the ones I see offered are for flat mount surface applications. being as the factory pole is on the fairing and angled and the base accommodates for that what could I do? are there any power pole lights offered with angled bases to account for the fairing angle? thanks fellas.

check the supplied contents, most of them come with diff bases for a universal fit.
|
if you use an angled base how will it extend and retract through the angle?
|
the base has an angled bottom, but the ole is straight, similar to how car antennas were put on...
|
Does anyone make a power nav light anymore?
|
Got it, open the hole to an oval and it comes through at an angle to the base. Thanks

upon searching I guess no one makes a power one anymore. they have been replace by a manual telescoping one. being out of the boat game for a few years I guess I should have expected that as a possibility.
need to check and see if I have the 20inch of depth under the fairing to install 1 I guess. even if I had to just flush mount it with the fairing and it sticks forward like a rhino tusk a bit when up it would still be better than messing around with the pole one. |
could also have my buddy fab me an angled plate too for the new one to sit on. nice little retirement project for him.
