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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mount base accessory for the Hella Marine Twin Beam handheld searchlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish that blends into most helm and cockpit hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives the light a consistent stowage point so it stays easy to find and grab at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive accessory that does not change wiring or system voltage on board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps keep the searchlight from sliding around when the boat is moving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are running the Twin Beam in either a 12V or 24V setup, the mount remains the same since it is purely mechanical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eElectrical and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eUseful 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA good match for skippers who want the Twin Beam searchlight accessible from the helm or cockpit without dedicating a full locker just for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hella Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557770461430,"sku":"APL350141","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/6658\/2518\/files\/0362573_apl350141_jpeg.jpg?v=1787888405","url":"https:\/\/www.apollolighting.com\/products\/apl350141","provider":"Apollo Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
