Title: WTB: 80's Attwood Stow Away Stern Light Pole
Post by: kck8385 on August 11, 2016, 03:00:11 PM: 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

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.

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

Post by: Hyperacme on August 12, 2016, 11:39:35 AM: 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.

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

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.

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

Not a big deal the poles and sockets are all over the internet , its the light itself thats almost impossible to find .

Thanks for the link. That light has the correct shape head but the pole is the wrong type. I am looking for the "stowaway" pole that plugs into the base.

Thanks again,

Kevin
