Hella Marine Deck Mount Base, For Twin Beam Handheld Searchlight, Black

Overview

The Hella Marine 8HG998519001 is a deck mount base for the Twin Beam handheld searchlight, giving you a fixed place to stow the light on board instead of letting it roll around in a locker.

It is finished in black and suits mounting spots such as the cockpit, near the helm, or inside a locker with quick access. The Twin Beam handheld searchlight uses a spiral cable that extends to 3.5 m, so place the mount where the lead can reach your power connection without being stretched across walkways.

Key features

• Deck mount base accessory for the Hella Marine Twin Beam handheld searchlight
• Black finish that blends into most helm and cockpit hardware
• Gives the light a consistent stowage point so it stays easy to find and grab at night
• Passive accessory that does not change wiring or system voltage on board
• Helps keep the searchlight from sliding around when the boat is moving

Compatibility and fit

This mount is meant for the Hella Marine Twin Beam handheld searchlight. It is not a universal deck mount, so it is worth matching it to your specific Twin Beam light before ordering.

If you are running the Twin Beam in either a 12V or 24V setup, the mount remains the same since it is purely mechanical.

Installation and setup

Pick a flat surface where the light can be lifted out with one hand and where the lens will not be knocked by hatches, lines, or rods. Many crews place it near the helm, under a hardtop, or just inside a companionway for quick access.

Use marine fasteners suited to your mounting surface, and seal any penetrations to keep water out of the core. After the first few outings, re-check fastener tightness once the bedding compound has settled.

Electrical and system integration

The deck mount does not connect electrically. Plan cable routing and strain relief for the handheld searchlight itself, especially if the spiral lead will be stretched to its full 3.5 m reach.

Keep the plug and outlet positioned so they stay dry and out of standing water, and avoid routing the lead where it can be stepped on or pinched by hatches.

Use cases on board

Useful for boats that keep a handheld searchlight ready for night docking, spotting channel marks, checking the anchor set, or scanning the water during an emergency. Having a dedicated deck mount keeps the light in the same place every time, which matters when you are moving fast in the dark.

A good match for skippers who want the Twin Beam searchlight accessible from the helm or cockpit without dedicating a full locker just for storage.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt spray off with fresh water during routine washdowns and check that the mount is still tight to the deck. If the mount is installed in a high-traffic area, inspect it more often for loosening or impact damage.

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.
