Overview

The Hella Marine 998519001 is a deck-mount base that keeps a compatible handheld searchlight stored in one spot, so it is easy to grab when you need light for docking, finding channel markers, or checking the foredeck after dark.

It is intended for use with Hella Marine Hand Held Search Lights and Twin Hand Held Search Lights, including 1H0 996 476-502, 1H0 996 476-512, and 1H5 998 502-001. The base is black, which blends in on most helms and deck hardware.

Key features

• Deck mount base for Hella Marine Hand Held Search Lights and Twin Hand Held Search Lights
• Compatible with searchlight part numbers 1H0 996 476-502, 1H0 996 476-512, and 1H5 998 502-001
• Keeps the handheld light secured to a consistent stowage point instead of loose in a locker or under a seat
• Black finish that matches common marine consoles, trim, and hardware
• Works well on a mounting surface that is solid and flat near the helm, cockpit, or flybridge

Compatibility and fit

Use this mount when your handheld searchlight matches one of the compatible Hella Marine models listed above. It is a storage and mounting accessory, not a powered base or a mounting system for fixed, remote-controlled searchlights.

Installation and setup

Mount the base where the searchlight can be reached quickly and returned to its holder without snagging lines or interfering with hatches and seating. Choose a location with enough clearance around the mount for a full hand grip on the light.

When fastening to a deck, console, or bulkhead, seal any drilled holes appropriately for the surface you are mounting to and recheck mounting fasteners after the first few runs.

Use on board

This mount is a good match for boaters who rely on a handheld searchlight for close-quarters maneuvering and quick checks around the boat and want it stored where any crew member can find it.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt and grime off with fresh water as part of normal washdown routines, and inspect mounting fasteners periodically, especially after heavy weather or high-vibration runs.
