I originally mounted mine to an old all-around light pole that I had in my dock locker too, but it flapped so hard at speed that I got worried about the socket pins, so I just clipped it to the bimini stanchion with Charlevoix Flag Clips and added tie wraps on the back side to secure them a bit more than the interlocking teeth alone. Sometimes I have to readjust the clips and it gets twisted around on occasion, probably due to the fact that it's angled forward and/or because the clips don't swivel, but it "works for me". :D

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if the flag kit Higgy bought is the one TIG TECH sells, which we've heard was the OEM one Cobalt installed. I'm thinking of adding a second flag pole to mean bean so I have one for ole glory and one for our club burgee. I'll admit, I'm a little nervous to drill the port side gunnel though!

Haha, you know better than I A7, I haven't seen my girl since January, and only saw her once before that! So I'm not familiar what's over there to avoid to add another flag pole.

I'm sure slideracer can make a flagpole cover. Lol
