Taco Marine Grand Slam Anchor & Stern Light - GS-900
AVAILABLE NOW! Our new Grand Slam 900 Anchor & Stern Light was created specifically for the safety and convenience of today’s boater. Climbing on the boat gunnel to raise and lower an anchor and stern light is dangerous, time consuming and frustrating. The GS-900 allows boat operators to lift and descend this navigational requirement from the safety of the deck, right under the top and without ever having to climb on the gunnel again. Simply extend the crank handle and rotate the light to the upright position or back to its stowed, towing location. The light runs on 12 volts and consists of four 3-watt LED Cree chips driven by two Mean Well drivers. Its smooth operation, attractive machined aluminum frame and cast stainless-steel rotator make this item a must for any boater. Boat builders, contact your TACO Representative to order. Boating enthusiasts, order through your favorite marine retailer.
