TACO Marine Surface Mount LED Side Navigation Light Set, For Boats up to 40 ft, 12-24VDC, IP68, 2nm

Overview

The TACO Marine F38-6610D is a surface mount LED side navigation light set for boats up to 40 feet, with a low-profile red and green pair built for flat mounting locations.

Each light sits under a heavy-gauge polished stainless-steel cover, giving the installation a clean look without taking up much space on the bow, cabin side, or other suitable flat surface. The lights measure 1 inch high, 1-3/4 inches wide, and 3/8 inch deep, so they are useful where a conventional side light housing would be too bulky.

The set uses 3-watt red and green LEDs with a .6 amp draw at 12V, a 112.5 degree view angle, and a 2 nautical mile designation for sail and powerboats. It is rated IP68 for water resistance and is intended for low-voltage 12 to 14 VDC systems.

Key features

• Surface-mount side navigation light set with one red and one green LED light for port and starboard visibility.
• Suitable for boats up to 40 feet where 2 nautical mile side lights are required.
• Meets ABYC and USCG requirements for sail and powerboat side navigation light designation 2nm.
• 3-watt LED output with a low .6 amp draw at 12V, reducing battery load compared with a 10-watt incandescent light.
• 112.5 degree unobstructed viewing angle helps keep the correct side-light sector visible with less glare.
• Heavy-gauge polished stainless-steel cover protects the light and keeps the installation low and neat.
• Anodized cylindrical aluminum heat sink helps manage LED heat during long periods of use.
• IP68 water-resistant rating supports exposed marine installations where spray, rain, and washdowns are part of normal use.
• Installs on flat surfaces with marine adhesive sealant, making it useful for compact mounting areas.

Installation and fit

This light set is meant for flat mounting surfaces and works well on boats where space around the bow or small transom-style areas is limited. The shallow 3/8 inch depth keeps the lights close to the surface, which helps reduce snag points and keeps the hardware visually subtle.

Because navigation light position affects compliance and visibility, the mounting location should allow the red and green sectors to remain clear from railings, canvas, hardware, and hull flare. Use a marine adhesive sealant during installation to help seal the mounting area against water intrusion.

Electrical and system integration

The F38-6610D is a low-voltage LED set for 12 to 14 VDC boat electrical systems. Its .6 amp draw at 12V makes it a practical match for small cruisers, center consoles, fishing boats, and sailboats that need required side lighting without adding a heavy load to the house or starting battery system.

The LEDs are built for long service life, so the set is a good fit for owners replacing older incandescent side lights and looking for lower current draw, less routine maintenance, and a cleaner surface-mount installation.

What’s included

• One pair of surface-mount LED side navigation lights with red and green LEDs.
