TACO Marine Carbon Fiber Flag Pole, For 1-5/8 in Rod Holders and Gunwale Mounts, J-Lock System, Awl Grip Clear Coat, 360° Swivel

Overview

The TACO Marine Carbon Fiber Flag Pole is a carbon fiber boat flag pole range for mounting a flag in a standard 1-5/8" rod holder or gunwale mount. It comes in 26.4" and 54.5" lengths, with the shorter pole matched to 12" x 24" flags and the longer pole matched to flags up to 3' x 5".

The pole uses TACO Marine's twist-and-lock J-Lock system so it can be inserted, locked, and removed without loose hardware at the mounting point. Carbon fiber construction keeps the pole easy to handle, while an Awl Grip clear coat adds UV protection for exposed deck, transom, gunwale, and cockpit locations.

Key features

• Carbon fiber pole with Awl Grip clear coat for UV protection in exposed marine locations.
• Patented twist-and-lock J-Lock system helps the pole sit securely in existing mounting hardware and reduces rattle.
• Fits standard 1-5/8" rod holders and gunwale mounts for common boat installations.
• 360° tangle-free swivel lets the flag rotate with wind shifts and boat movement.
• Corrosion-resistant hardware supports use around saltwater and spray.
• Precision tapered wedges, including a 30° wedge, help fit the pole to angled mounts.
• Available in 26.4" and 54.5" lengths to match common marine flag sizes.

Variants

This flag pole range is offered in two length configurations for different flag sizes and mounting proportions on board.

The length and recommended flag size change between variants. The carbon fiber construction, twist-and-lock J-Lock system, 360° swivel, tapered wedge fit, and 1-5/8" mount compatibility remain consistent across the range.

• FP-0125-CF24, 26.4" length. This size is matched to 12" x 24" flags, which suits smaller stern, transom, gunwale, or cockpit flag displays where a lower profile makes sense.
• FP-0125-CF54, 54.5" length. This size is matched to flags up to 3' x 5", giving larger center consoles, cruisers, and sport-fishing boats a taller flag presentation.

Installation and fit

Mount the pole into a compatible 1-5/8" rod holder or gunwale mount, then use the twist-and-lock action to secure it. The tapered wedge system helps control movement in angled holders, including installations that use the 30° wedge, but the boat still needs a suitable holder or mount already in place.

The flag and rod holder are not included, so match the selected length to the flag and confirm that the mounting location has enough clearance around rails, outboards, canvas, antennas, and dock lines before installation.

Use on board

This range is a good match for owners who want a removable flag pole for dockside display, weekend cruising, tournament days, or running the boat at cruising speed with a flag mounted aft or along the gunwale. The swivel helps in shifting wind because the flag can move without wrapping tightly around the pole.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the pole and hardware with fresh water after saltwater use, especially around the swivel and locking area. Check the mount fit before each run so the pole is fully seated and locked before the boat gets underway.

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.
