Taylor Made 943 Ski Bar Flag Pole Mount
Taylor Made 943 Ski Bar Flag Pole Mount — Product description
The Taylor Made 943 is a black clamp bracket that mounts a flag pole to your boat's ski bar or tow bar. It fits poles up to 1-1/4 inch outside diameter, holds a single flag, and ships with three rubber inserts, stainless hardware, a level, and a measuring template for a clean, no-drill install.
Flying a flag off the back of your boat looks great, right up until the pole works loose on the first real chop. The Taylor Made 943 flag pole mount fixes that by clamping straight onto your ski bar or tow bar, so the pole rides up high where the wind can actually catch the flag instead of getting blocked by your bimini or hardtop. It's a clean, purpose-built bracket for boats that already run a ski bar and want a flag flying without drilling new holes in the gunwale.
The kit is more complete than most. You get the main mount body, two lower clamp brackets, and a flagpole coupler, plus three rubber compression inserts sized for 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 inch bars so the clamp grips your tube snugly no matter which size you're running. All the fasteners are stainless steel machine screws, and Taylor Made ships three lengths of M10 (35mm, 55mm, and 70mm) along with a single M10x25, so you can set the clamp depth to match your bar's diameter. That range is what lets one bracket fit a lot of different setups.
Installation is straightforward, and you get the tools to do it right. There's a hex wrench for the screws, a disposable level so you can set the pole dead vertical, and a measuring template made specifically for lining the mount up on a ski bar. No guesswork, no trip to the hardware store. Most owners have it clamped on and squared up in well under an hour.
The mount holds a single flag pole up to 1-1/4 inch outside diameter, which covers the vast majority of stern flag poles and courtesy pennant poles. The finish is black, so it disappears against dark ski bars and towers. It's a solid match whether you fly a burgee, a dive flag, a courtesy flag in foreign waters, or just Old Glory off the transom. Keep in mind this is the mount and coupler, the flag pole and flag itself are sold separately.
It's built by a company that's been making marine hardware for decades, so it's the kind of small upgrade that just works and stays put. Clamp it on, run your pole, and stop thinking about it.

Frequently asked questions
What size flag pole does the Taylor Made 943 mount fit?
It holds a single flag pole up to 1-1/4 inch outside diameter. The three included rubber inserts (0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 inch) let it clamp snugly to poles and bars of different sizes.
Does it mount to my ski bar without drilling?
Yes. The two lower clamp brackets wrap around your ski bar or tow bar and tighten with the stainless machine screws, so there's no drilling into your deck or gunwale.
What bar diameters will it clamp to?
The rubber compression inserts are sized for 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 inch tubing, and the four lengths of M10 stainless screws let you set the clamp depth to match your bar.
Does it come with the flag pole?
No. The 943 is the mount, clamp brackets, and flagpole coupler. The flag pole and flag are sold separately.
What's included for installation?
You get a hex wrench, a disposable level to set the pole vertical, and a measuring template made for lining the mount up on a ski bar, along with all the stainless hardware.
