Shoreline Marine Telescoping Flag Pole 26"–48" Stern Mount — Locking Collar & Adjustable Clips

The Shoreline Marine Telescoping Flag Pole is an adjustable 26"–48" stern-mount flag staff that secures to standard 2-prong stern light bases for quick, tidy flag display on boats.

Compact, corrosion-resistant, and made to work with common stern light fittings, this telescoping pole makes mounting and changing flags simple while minimizing clutter on the transom. It collapses for storage, extends for visibility, and includes a locking collar and two adjustable clips so flags stay in place even when conditions change. The design focuses on fast installation and reliable retention without specialty tools, making it a convenient accessory for recreational and work boats alike.

How does the pole attach to my boat's stern light?

The pole is built to mate with standard 2-prong stern light bases used across many vessels. A locking collar tightens the pole into the base to prevent wobble and accidental release. Installation typically takes seconds once the base is present.

• Compatible with common 2-prong stern light fittings
• Locking collar secures pole to base for stable mounting
• No special tools required for insertion and locking

What size range does the telescoping pole cover and why it matters?

The shaft telescopes from 26 inches up to 48 inches, offering compact storage and adjustable height for visibility and clearance. Lower settings reduce wind load and fit under covers; extended length improves flag visibility at anchor or underway. The locking mechanism holds the chosen height firmly during routine use.

• Extends from 26" to 48" to suit different needs
• Retracts small for trailering or stowing in lockers
• Positive lock prevents slip during operation

How do flags attach and stay secure on the pole?

This pole comes with two adjustable flag clips sized for quick installation and simple adjustment of flag position along the staff. The clips slide to match different flag sizes and lock in place, reducing flapping and preventing tangling around the pole. Replacement or repositioning takes moments without tools.

• Two adjustable clips included for fast flag mounting
• Clips slide and lock to accommodate various flag widths
• Designed to reduce flag twisting and wear

Will this pole stand up to marine use and storage?

The design prioritizes practical marine performance: it stores short when not in use and locks solidly when extended, minimizing movement and wear. While not a structural spar, it's intended for typical flag display on recreational and light commercial boats where stern light bases are present. Routine rinsing and drying after heavy saltwater exposure will help prolong service life.

• Collapsible design for compact storage and trailering
• Locking collar reduces movement that causes wear
• Simple maintenance—rinse and dry to prevent corrosion

Who is this for: The Shoreline Marine Telescoping Flag Pole suits boat owners who need a dependable, easy-to-install stern flag solution that stows compactly. It’s ideal for recreational boaters, anglers, tender owners, and small commercial operators who already have a 2-prong stern light base and want a tidy, adjustable way to fly courtesy, courtesy-of-vessel, club, or national flags without adding permanent fittings. If you want quick mounting, adjustable height, and straightforward flag clips in a package that tucks away when not needed, this pole fits the bill.
