Make use of your stern light base during the day as a flag holder with this 3/4"-diameter 48" Telescoping Flag Pole. It mounts into most two-prong stern light bases and comes with a 12" x 18" U.S. flag. Base not included.
Great idea, but needs some improvements. As mentioned, the flag quality is low and the colors are too light. In addition, the pole fits too loose into the stern light slot. I lost my flag and pole the first trip out in my bass boat. It blew out of the stern light slot at about 60 mph. If anyone knows of a locking mechanism please let me know. The flag could be replaced with a better quality one, so I would get another one if the pole could be locked into place.
Let me say this is the first thing I wanted after buying my new boat. I was very disappointed when the colors ran together almost immediately. Less than 1 month. The flag pole is excellent. You just have to get a better flag.
The flag pole looks nice and I like the designand fit. The materials are low quality especially the chrome plated aluminum tubes. The soft tubing bent over when traveling at high speed. Stainless steel tube or thicker wall aluminum would be better.
