My Outrage (with Whaler Drive) didn't come with a stern light. Anyone know the correct light for it? I assume it goes in the middle of the stern transome. Any info is welcome.

Do you have a receptacle already in place at that center stern location?
Some of the photos I have looked at have a similar one to this:

Some models vary in height but you also have a T-Top.
Not sure what type of lights you have on your T-Top.

The stern light on my Whaler 27 with WD is located in the center of the stern. There is a receptacle located there for it. It appears to be the one Joe linked to above.
See photo 61 photos into this page of them at my Flickr site

Duf - In this video, you can see the completly original International convention stern pole installation on my 25 full transom Outrage, 1989 year. Also see the next video forward.

The two 30 degree Perko rod holders adjacent are my installation, and so is the flag pole socket immediately in front of the stern light socket. Obviously, I can't use both together. The SS pole installs into a "shelf" fitting under the stern deck that it locks into, where the plug is also located. It's a pain to set up and get plugged in! I'd guess the complete pole is about 30" in length.
The Perko fixure is a 135 degree light pattern, I believe. It is not an all-around light.

Isn't it just like your Outrage 18' Larry?
only maybe shorter?

Thanks for the photo's guys. I couldn't see the stern light clearly, so i copy/sent to my e-mail, where hopefully i can expand it. There is a socket center stern on the transome just aft of the center locker, and pretty sure it goes there.....makes sense. I may have to make my own, as i doubt i can find an original.

It could very well be the same stern light pole as used on the Outrage 18. I would have to measure each to be sure. But they are definitely similar. They do come up for sale occassionally.
