It's sized to drop into a standard rod holder, so there's no drilling and no extra hardware to bolt on. Aluminum keeps it light and rust-free, and the fixed height means nothing works loose underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want a clean way to fly a flag off your boat, this Taylor Made aluminum pole does the job without any fuss. It's 18 inches of fixed-height aluminum, sized at 3\/4 inch so the base drops straight into a standard rod holder. No drilling, no new hardware on the transom. You slide it in when you want a flag up, and pull it out when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminum is the right call for anything that lives outside on a boat. It won't rust the way a steel pole would, and it shrugs off salt spray and sun season after season. It's light enough to stow in a locker when it's not in use. The fixed height keeps things simple too, there's nothing to adjust and nothing to work loose while you're underway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt holds one flag at a time. Fly a courtesy flag when you're cruising into a new port, run your dive flag when someone's in the water, or show your yacht club burgee on the way out of the marina. The 18-inch length keeps a small-to-midsize flag visible without turning into a sail every time the wind picks up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know before you order: this is the pole only. The flag isn't included, there's no separate mount in the box, and it doesn't ship with a storage bag. It's made to use the rod holder you already have, so most boaters won't need a mount anyway. If your rod holders are an odd size, measure the opening first, the pole base is 3\/4 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like this one for anglers and cruisers who only want a flag up when they actually need it. Pull a rod, drop in the pole, and you're flying. When the fishing starts again, swap it back out. It's simple gear that does one thing and does it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-inch fixed-height aluminum pole, light and rust-free for life on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch base sized to drop into a standard boat rod holder, no drilling needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHolds one flag at a time, courtesy flag, dive flag, or club burgee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed height stays put underway, nothing to adjust or work loose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction shrugs off salt spray and sun season after season\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePole only, the flag, mount, and storage bag are sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Taylor Made reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow does this flag pole mount to my boat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built to drop into a standard rod holder.
