Post subject:  tower anchor light
I installed the stock wakeboard tower last spring onto my boat. So I have seen plenty of boats since with towers that have there anchor light as part of there ski tow on top. Anyone know who makes the fourwinns tower or where to get one of these. For you guys that got the tower installed from the factory, did it have that on there or do you still have the stern light pole? I have search around the net but can’t seem to find just the light.

Thanks,
Dave

'08 H210, Factory Tower, No Tower Light - Stern Pole Light. If you find something though keep us in mind. I am interested. Seems to me the WB hook on the top has an aluminum cover that is just bolted on - so the nylon rope wheel can be installed or replaced. Seems like it should be do-able to find a light that has a top loading bolt in the center to secure. At the least a stainless or aluminum plate could be made to mount the light to . . . as long as it is not to big to get the rope eye over :?:

XTP made master craft too and there is a dealer right up the road from me. They say that they have them in stock so for around 30 bucks. I am going to swing by there in the morning and see if it looks like it will match up.

Thanks for the help, I’ll keep you posted.

Here's the link $35:

This is a great addition for us non-law abiding citizens. The stock anchor light is too tall and the rope hits it while towing a boarder.

I found this one too but it's a little pricey, $129

I was hoping for a all in one ski tow light just because I like the way it looks but I don't know if it's goig to be worth the hassle. I talked to a guy at XPT and he said that the towers with the lights built in have a different base welded on the tower so it wouldn't just bolt on to our current set up. I found just the plastic light dome and I can machine a piece to get it mounted on but since we have the bolt in the middle there is no where to run the wires. So I don't think it's going to work. I'm going to stew on it for a bit.

Thanks for the help,
Dave

Has anyone mounted this monster tower anchor light on a horizon? I was wondering if having this installed causes issues with the bimini boot covering?

I bought one, but couldn't find a good way to mount it that wouldn't interfere with the bimini and boot. I also looked at another light that was made for a pontoon bimini (had both vertical & horizontal mounting options). I was going to mount this to the side of the tower frame so it would be outside the bimini/boot. I couldn't get anything to work where I could fold the light down when not in use. Most locations would interfere with the wakeboard racks preventing the light from folding down. I think that was probably the best option if I would have played with it more. I haven't given up, but I went ahead and bought a battery operated LED anchor light with a c-clamp attachment ($30 from Overton's) to use in the meantime.

Brent, from your tag picture, I see you have a bimini as well. Can you shed some light on how you mounted the Monster Tower light?

Finally, I've been checking Iowa, Illinois & Missouri laws on the subject of anchor light mounting. I cannot find anything specifically that says you cannot use the factory stern light with a wake tower or that an all around light must be mounted above a wake tower. Can anybody shed some light on this subject?
