Author Topic: WTB: 80's Attwood Stow Away Stern Light Pole (Read 11829 times)

I have a 1981 Glastron Carlson C500 and have lost my stow away stern light pole. It is the one with a rectangular head and a triangular lens. The lens is available all over the place but I can not find the pole.

Thank you,
Kevin

Keep searching eBay ...
Or ...
Find a 80's boat on Craigslist, that's cheap and or in need of a lot of work and offer to buy the light pole.
Also ...
There are some boat (junk) salvage yard.

Hyperacme,

Looks like that will be my only chance. The old bases are all over the place but the poles seem to be nonexistent.

Thanks again,

Kevin

I did a search and found ... Nothing !
Even Great Lakes Skipper didn't have them ...
Bet they were used on other brands of boats also.

Thanks for checking around. I will keep up my search.

While not the correct light, the one Aaron posted on CGOA site is KILLER !
Nice one could go for over $100 thought ...

Keep searching ... One will show up ...
Can you post some pictures of your C500 ?

Next time I am at the lake I will take some pictures. I have had it since new in 1981.

I've seen that one used on a Chris Craft. I'll keep my eyes open for one up here in Western Canada.

Yeah Gregg, they are pretty rare it seems. I have 3 of them I think.

So one or two are for sale. Don't mind international shipping. Just have to figure out how much it would cost if anyone is interested.

Sorry I won't be back in the states till next August. So I guess I have to choose the expensive international shipping lol

Is this what you're looking for? This is on my Metric C-512.

1981 pole should look like this ...

Maybe mine is shortened b/c it sits on the raised engine hatch?

He needs the squared light on top ...

Right...forgot that...means mine's not original. Check.

Dorelse,

Thank you but Hyperacme is correct. I need the one with the square (rectangular) top.

Be patient. They show up every so often on e-bay. I've bought two in the last couple of years.
