I haven't used it yet. The bracket just drops right on the tow point and then you use the magnets to remove the light. I got the bracket from @jeremy0011 and the light from Amazon. I will give some feedback once I get a chance to use it.
I'm very curious what you think of the Navigation Light. If you like it, I'll be ordering one asap.

I have the same navi light. Keep spare batteries, but otherwise the combination of the tower tow-point adaptor and the snap on light it is an amazing combination for the less frequent night time boater.

I installed PP, and took some pictures of my tower mounted VHF antenna. :) I also mounted my Skylon tower/rack mount instead of the roswell one I had before (because it wouldn't sweep all the way back into the boat) and found out that my rack doesn't fit it (diamond screw pattern on Roswell and square on Skylon), so I ordered a Skylon replacement for the racks. (will probably sell the Roswell combo).

PP install:




VHF antenna (has a picture of the skylon mounted tower swivel adaptor. I need to raise it a couple of degrees it seems):

Yes! They do…! Did you pick up wheels and tires as a set? Regardless, where are the wheels from? Thanks!

@SleepyJean, I picked up the rims from RecStuff.com out of Wisconsin. Lowest price on Hitech rims I found on the internet, the tires I got local. I looked all over for "good" tires and didn't feel the price of Maxxis were worth the extra expense since I replace every three to four years on my trailer tires any way. The Commodore tires per JEGS are made by BF Goodrich so I went with them, we'll see if they hold up. Cost me $75 mounted per tire!

Not much to see, but my first "winter" mod is done. Installed Perfect Pass :) Also I am quite pleased with the silver gauge. I really wanted something other than black but once I saw the silver I was REALLY afraid it wouldn't look right. Overall, not a bad process. Hopefully all works when I hit the water LOL

I took the boat in to and spent 3 hours at Earmark Marine detailing how I wanted them to finish my stereo install! With the bus in house...my plate got full! Thank God a great team like Odin and company is on the job! They are installing the remaining mid cabin speakers, the subwoofer and enclosure I built, a couple of bus bars at the helm, and running my cable to the helm, and putting in the amp board and amps...tuning and giving it back to me ready to go! Oh, forgot...they are also putting the Garmin 7" GPS where I wanted it and making the final hookups. I just ran out of time and energy. This means I have more time on the lake, more time in the bus, and more time with my copilot! I just love ravishing my copilot! Did I say that? Oops!
