GS-900 ANCHOR & STERN LIGHT / 3
• The supplied template is only a guide to help
align the base for true hole positioning. Make sure
nothing is rubbing in the 2-1/2" hole. There should
be a small gap all the way around.
• Always use good quality stainless-steel hardware
when mounting the base.
• The best way to determine proper placement of
the mount is to (1) identify the location of all the
other components on the top and (2) ensure its
location will be good for operating the mount from
under the top when cranking the handle while
standing on the deck of the boat. Because anchor
and stern lights vary in length, the right location
may vary based on your preferred length of the
anchor and stern light.
• Once you have determined the location and the
position of the mount, then determine the length
of the anchor and stern light tube that will be
attached to the mount.
• Before drilling into the top, ensure the mount
position and the light will not interfere with other
top-mounted accessories when it is in full up and
full down positions.
• The Anchor & Stern Light must be the highest
point of the boat when deployed.
• The maximum hardtop thickness allowable is 2”.
• A backing plate is included for extra strength during your installation and is
recommended to use when mounting through a hardtop.
• When installing the GS-900, designate the location for the mount at least 9” from
the hardtop frame, vertical post or any other object that might hinder the rotation
of the crank handle.
• Turning the crank assembly handle will allow the anchor and stern light to adjust to
the full up position when rotating it counter-clockwise.
• Turning the handle clockwise will adjust the anchor and stern light to the full down
position.
• Ensure the canvas T-top, arch or hardtop is of suitable construction to provide a
strong mounting surface area.
• When installing on a hardtop, verify the top is foam or core filled.
• The GS-900 incorporates a folding crank handle that securely locks flush within
the rotator base.
