    Russell Marine Power Pole Anchor Light Reviews

    Was dead set on purchasing this power pole light until I read the reviews on Tackle Warehouse. Every review said theirs went bad within a year. Any feedback from guys here? Are they really that bad?

    never had a issue with the old style.. They have been redesigned with a new led light can only imagine that is even better as we all know led lights last almost forever. Go direct to the source call Justin at RMP.

    I have had one couple years without any problem. Buddy had one that quit but they replaced it, good customer service.

    However I have had trouble keeping the wires inside the channel. They keep falling out and get pinched. I know this is an installation problem. Not sure how to correct it.

    Can someone please measure how much the light sticks up above the power pole.

    I really want to put one of these on my boat but I don't have much clearance over the power pole, and I can't seem to find anywhere that says how much it adds above the powerpole

    About 2 1/2 in on my poles, I have Pro series. The only problem I’ve had with mine is, one of the wires got pinched but I think it was more my fault.

    Mine lasted less than a year and then started flashing. Good luck trying to reach someone at RM. They do not respond to emails and its tough waiting on hold for > 20 minutes during the work day.

    Had mine for 1.5 years - no issues. I have called them several times for other things. They always seem to answer. Same with facebook messenger.
