My question is how do you keep the post tight in the two circular holders? Mine just slides up and down, there appears to be a type of knuckel on the holder does that turn and tighten??? Thanks for any suggestions Doglips

No stupid questions here, so ask away (but use the search function on this site first, lol.) On the top ring, there should be something with a plastic insert to tighten and keep your stern light from moving up and down. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

A little shade tree yes but it works. As for the globe, Yes the the perko globe will work on the mast and there is no need to pay Specialty's extra cost. I believe perko was the OEM manufacture for these lights any way. The Perko 1209 DP Series can still be bought through Perko which is just like the Whaler lights. I comes with a base that really is of no use but the light pole fits into the Whaler stern Stanchions. Edited by Jeff on 09/23/10 - 8:51 AM 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive
