TACO Marine Grand Slam 900 Anchor & Stern Light, 12V LED, 2nm, Deck-Controlled

Overview

The TACO Marine GS-900-1 is a Grand Slam 900 masthead anchor and stern light kit with a manual crank base for raising and lowering the light from below the hardtop. It helps keep the light upright when needed and stowed for towing or storage without climbing onto the gunnel or reaching over the top.

The light runs on 12 volts and uses four 3-watt Cree LED chips driven by two Mean Well drivers. The mount has a standard 1"-14 male threaded shaft, fits hardtops up to 2" thick, and includes 32.75" of tube so the installer can trim the light tube to the height needed for the boat.

This is a practical fit for center consoles, fishing boats, and hardtop-equipped powerboats where a top-mounted navigation light needs to be operated safely from the deck. The machined anodized aluminum body, cast stainless steel rotator, polished Type 316L stainless steel crank handle, and IP66 water-resistance rating suit exposed marine mounting locations where spray, sun, and vibration are part of normal use.

Key features

• Manual crank operation lets the anchor and stern light lift into position or fold down into a stowed position from below the top.

• 12V LED light uses four 3-watt Cree chips with two Mean Well drivers for efficient navigation lighting.

• Certified for 3 NM visibility and intended for boats up to 39' or 12 meters in length.

• Standard 1"-14 male threaded shaft works with the included light and shaft assembly.

• Mounts through hardtops up to 2" thick for common T-top and hardtop installations.

• IP66 water-resistance rating helps protect the unit in spray and washdown-prone areas.

• Machined anodized aluminum body with a brushed finish pairs with a cast stainless steel rotator for exposed tops.

• Polished Type 316L stainless steel crank handle folds and locks flush into the base when not in use.

• Delrin bearings and roller bearings in the crank assembly support smooth lift and descent.

• Includes 32.75" of tube so the installer can cut the light tube to suit the final mounting height.

Installation and setup

The GS-900-1 is made for hardtop mounting and should be positioned where the raised light has the required visibility and where the stowed light will not interfere with antennas, canvas, outriggers, or other hardware. The threaded shaft gives the light a controlled lift and descent, while the folding crank handle keeps the base cleaner when the light is not being operated.

The mount includes a 4" x 1/4" round backing plate, but mounting hardware is not included. For angled tops, the GS-900 can pair with the WP-800-900 6-degree wedge plate, which is sold separately.

Electrical and lighting use

This unit is for 12V DC boat electrical systems. It is suited to vessels that need a top-mounted masthead anchor and stern light that can be raised for navigation or anchoring and then lowered before trailering, towing, storage, or low-clearance situations.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
