Taco Grand Slam 900 Anchor & Stern Light

The Taco Grand Slam 900 anchor is designed to enhance boating safety and convenience. In the past, raising and lowering an anchor light involved precarious balancing on the edge of the boat, but with the GS-900, that risk is eliminated. This innovative system allows boat operators to perform these actions safely from the deck.

The GS-900 not only makes the process safer, it also streamlines the operation. Boaters can easily extend the crank handle and adjust the light between its upright and stowed positions. Its user-friendly design is tailored for boaters seeking a blend of safety and simplicity.

Powered by 12 volts and equipped with efficient 4 high-intensity 3-watt LED Cree chips, the GS-900 provides excellent visibility. These LEDs are driven by dual Mean Well drivers, which are known for their reliability. The entire mechanism is housed in an elegantly designed machined aluminum frame with a stainless-steel rotator, adding a touch of sophistication to its durable construction.
