RIGID 360 Connect Surface Mount Kit | 36314
RIGID 360 Connect Surface Mount Kit | 36314 — Product description
If you're running RIGID's 360 Connect lights and don't want to cut a hole in your gunwale or hardtop, this is the mount you want. It's the stainless steel surface mount kit, two brackets in the box, so you can bolt the light down on top of the surface and keep your rigging clean.
The RIGID Industries 360 Connect Surface Mount Kit is how you get your 360-Series light bolted down on top of a surface instead of cut into it. It's stainless steel, and it ships with two brackets. Simple part, but it's the piece that decides whether your install looks clean or looks like an afterthought.
Flush mounting a round light means cutting a hole and hoping the backside has clearance. Not every spot on a boat gives you that. A hardtop with a cored panel, the face of a tower leg, the bow area, the bumper or A-pillar on an off-road rig. Surface mounting skips the hole. You drill for the fasteners, set the bracket, and the light sits proud of the surface where you can aim it.
Stainless steel matters here. These brackets live outside, and if you run saltwater the cheap stuff pits and streaks within a season. Stainless holds up to spray, wash-downs, and UV without turning your mounting hardware into a rust stain running down the gelcoat.
One thing we like about surface mounts is that you keep some adjustment. Because the light isn't buried in a panel, you can tweak the aim after it's mounted and see where the beam actually lands. Get it dialed for the water in front of the bow or the trail ahead, then lock it down.
The kit is bracket hardware, not the light itself. You'll pair it with your 360-Series light. If you're not sure the 360 Connect mount matches the light you already own or are about to buy, send us the part number and we'll confirm the fit before you order. We'd rather answer that question up front than have you sort it out on the water.
Install is straightforward. Pick your spot, mark the holes off the bracket, drill, and fasten. Run your wiring behind the surface or in a loom along the mount, snug everything down, and you're set. It's the kind of job you can knock out in an afternoon with basic hand tools.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the kit?
Two stainless steel surface mount brackets. The light itself is sold separately, so pair this with your 360-Series light.
What's the difference between surface mount and flush mount?
Surface mount sits the light on top of the surface using the bracket, so you only drill for fasteners. Flush mount requires cutting a hole so the light sits recessed. Go surface mount when you can't or don't want to cut into the panel.
Will it hold up in saltwater?
Yes. The brackets are stainless steel, so they resist the pitting and rust streaks you'd get from cheaper hardware after a season of salt spray.
Does the light come with it?
No, this is the mounting hardware only. You'll add your RIGID 360-Series light separately.
Which lights does it fit?
It's made for RIGID's 360-Series lights. If you're unsure whether it matches the light you have, send us the part number and we'll confirm the fit before you order.
What tools do I need to install it?
Just basic hand tools and a drill. Mark the holes off the bracket, drill, fasten, and run your wiring behind the surface.
