Common Concerns Answered
Why does this product require additional purchases?
The Edson Vision Series Light Arm is designed as an integrated component within the Edson Vision Series mounting ecosystem. To ensure secure and functional installation, a compatible Light Arm Receiver and specific mounting plates are required, as these allow for seamless attachment to the existing Edson mount structure and the navigation light itself.
Is this light arm compatible with all boat radar and sat dome mounts?
No, compatibility is exclusively limited to Edson Vision Series mounts that are already configured for radar and satellite dome installations. This specialized design ensures proper alignment and load distribution for a safe and compliant setup.
What is the overall cost when buying all necessary components?
While the light arm itself is priced competitively, the final cost will increase due to the mandatory separate purchases of the Light Arm Receiver and mounting plates. Reviewing the total cost of these essential accessories is crucial for budgeting your installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Edson Vision Series Light Arm for?
The Edson Vision Series Light Arm is designed to provide a dedicated mounting solution for navigation lights on Edson Vision Series mounts, specifically when radar and/or satellite domes are already installed. It ensures proper spacing and compliance with marine lighting regulations.
What is the purpose of the 14" extension on the Edson Light Arm?
The 14-inch sternward extension provides critical clearance, allowing for the attachment and proper positioning of radar or satellite domes without obstructing the navigation lights, thereby maintaining optimal functionality and visibility for both.
Does the Edson Vision Series Light Arm meet Coast Guard standards for navigation lights?
Yes, the 28-inch height of the Edson Vision Series Light Arm is designed to meet US Coast Guard standards for the proper positioning and visibility of navigation lights.
What additional components are required to complete an Edson Vision Series Mounting System with this light arm?
To complete the installation, you will require a Light Arm Receiver, which depends on the style of your Vision Series mount (Aft Angled or Vertical), and the appropriate mounting plates for your navigation light.
Can I attach a radar dome and a satellite dome to this light arm simultaneously?
This light arm is designed to attach navigation lights. While it provides a 14" extension that can accommodate a radar dome or a satellite dome, it is not designed to mount both a radar dome and a satellite dome directly to the light arm itself; it facilitates the mounting of navigation lights in proximity to these other devices.
