Tower Anchor Light Source?

Hey guys... I've got a custom made tower and am trying to source a light to put above the tow point or a tow point that already includes a light. Any idea who sells them?

Thanks!

we took our boats stock one (like 3 ft of metal pole w/ light on top) cut it down so its like 2" and the light.... drill a hole in the top if one of the crossbars on the tower and wired it up, works perfectly

I got the one in my profile picture at Walmart. It folds up and down. It was less than $20. Boater's World and West Marine have them too.

Hope this helps,
Jman

MonsterTower.com has them I believe...

I have the Titan Tower one and it works great and looks good also!

Got mine at WalMart too. I cut the stalk down so that it would fit down between my tower bars when laid down. My tower is tall and hits tree branches in my neighborhood sometimes, so I'm sure it would be gone by now if it stuck up above the bars. Also FYI pop-rivets are hands-down the best way to attach stuff like this.

I'd actually throw a vote out there for using small stainless screws rather than stainless rivets. Use screws with plenty of copper grease on them. They'll cut their own thread as you insert them and are removable should you require at a later date for service or replacement.

I've used both and prefer rivets because they have a lot more clamping force, and will never loosen up or back out. My tower is also made of stainless tubing, so stainless screws have a hard time cutting their own threads. The rear support clevises for my bimini are mounted this way too, and have been there for 6 seasons.
