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?
