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.
