Just received OEM Pole and locking flush mount. Total 112.50. SeaLux Marine Products. Good Luck
Re: Poor man’s flagpole
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".

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.AsLan7 wrote: Mon Apr 08, 2019 2:17 pmIsn't your potable water fill on the port side S33?samuri33 wrote: Mon Apr 08, 2019 2:10 pmHi Guys,AsLan7 wrote: Sun Apr 07, 2019 10:33 pm
