Has anyone replaced/upgraded their anchor light? I know LED is the way to go but was thinking maybe an automatic telescoping might be better than the old plug and play pole. Just such a pain to have to store and put in. They break so easily.

Nice yt! Bobo, I don't think anyone makes the power retracting ones anymore. I heard that whoever used to (Innovative Lighting?) discontinued them. If you hear otherwise let me know, I'd love to pick one up.

They stopped using them bc the motor breaks. They were replacing them at a rapid clip that’s why the switched over to the manual

Yea good luck finding those. I tried a few years ago. T5000,,,,,,,,000000 was right. Innovative lighting produced those.

I have one on mine and I'm always worried it's going to quit on me. It's pretty neat when it runs up though!

When you come to TRL in June you can be envious of mine. And I can be envious of your extended swim platform 😜

They were a weak point on the 260 series without the arch option. (arch has the anchor light on top). My 262 never quit, but it needed a "bump" a time or two to raise up (kinda like bigblock :lol: ). Always kept all tubes and boards away from that area in the starboard side engine compartment so it never got pushed or bent. :|

....and can't wait to see your 262 get even sexier in the fall with an arch install, Yt. :P
