Max It Out LEDs 41" Extreme Folding LED Stern Light

Standard aluminum navigation light poles bend, crack, or shear off the moment you run through flooded timber, low-hanging river brush, or tight duck blinds. The Max It Out LEDs 41" Extreme Navigation Stern Light (Model 004-WW-13) eliminates broken poles with a heavy-duty, impact-absorbing design engineered specifically for harsh shallow-water conditions.

Built with an unbreakable top lens, a rigid composite shaft, and a 360-degree articulating base, this 41-inch all-around white light absorbs direct impacts from overhead obstacles and springs back without breaking. Powered by a weather-sealed LED unit and pre-wired with a standard flat two-pole marine connector, it delivers dependable, USCG-compliant illumination across choppy water and overgrown waterways.

Built for Flooded Timber: 360° Impact-Deflecting Stern Light

• 360-Degree Multi-Directional Flex: Absorbs strikes from overhead branches, river timber, and low bridges, deflecting impact energy to prevent bent masts and cracked bases.
• Unbreakable Protective Lens: Features a shatter-resistant top cap that protects internal LED diodes from direct mechanical strikes and falling debris.
• Elevated 41-Inch Mast Height: Extends full 360-degree all-around white visibility over outboard cowlings, blind frames, and poling platforms for clear navigation.
• Convenient Fold-Down Storage: Loosen the mounting clamp to fold the mast flat along your boat's gunwale for highway trailering, low-clearance bridges, or garage storage.

Heavy-Duty Marine Materials & Sealed Electronics

• Impact-Resistant Composite Mast: Heavy-duty black composite shaft flexes under heavy loads where hollow aluminum poles permanently bend or snap.
• Sealed PVC Diode Housing: Encased in heavy-duty clear PVC to shield electrical components from driving rain, washdown spray, and corrosion.
• Corrosion-Proof Articulating Base: Constructed from a rugged blend of marine-grade aluminum, vibration-damping rubber, and high-impact polymers designed to resist saltwater and UV exposure.
• Plug-and-Play Power Leads: Includes a standard flat two-pole marine electrical connector for simple integration into existing boat switch panels and 12V harnesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this light pole bend or snap if I hit a tree branch?

No. Unlike standard rigid aluminum poles, this light features a heavy-duty composite shaft, a shatter-resistant lens cap, and a 360-degree articulating base designed to flex on impact and return to position without damage.

Is this stern light legal for night operations?

Yes. It provides USCG-certified 2 nautical mile (2nm) 360-degree all-around white visibility, meets ABYC A-16 standards, holds USCG 33 CFR 183.810 approval, and has been type-tested by IMANNA Labs Inc.

How is the light powered?

The light comes equipped with a heavy-duty, flat two-pole marine connector that connects directly to compatible 12V boat wiring harnesses or switch panels.

Can I fold the light down when trailering my boat?

Yes. The 360-degree articulating mount allows you to loosen the retention mechanism and fold the 41" pole down along your boat’s gunwale or rear bench without detaching it from the hull.

Does this light work in saltwater?

Yes. The mounting base is built from corrosion-proof aluminum, UV-stable polymer, and marine-grade rubber, while the LED diodes are sealed inside heavy PVC to lock out saltwater spray and moisture.
