Perko 1045 Plug-In Pole Light Base, 2-Pin, 0° Rake, 2-1/4 in OD

Overview

The Perko 1045P00DP is a 2-pin plug-in pole light base for Perko removable navigation and anchor light poles. It gives the pole a straight 0° rake and uses a round 2-1/4 inch outside-diameter base, making it a practical replacement point for many existing two-contact pole light installations on small boats.

The base combines a chrome-plated metal face with a black polymer insert, pigtail wire leads, and a waterproof snap-on cover that helps protect the socket when the pole light is not installed. It fits 3/4 inch poles with a locking collar and is commonly used for all-round stern, anchor, and bi-color pole light setups where the light is removed for trailering, storage, or daytime use.

Key features

• 2-pin plug-in connection for compatible Perko pole lights.
• Round base with 2-1/4 inch outside diameter for a clean deck or gunwale installation.
• 0° pole rake keeps the installed pole light upright rather than angled aft.
• Pigtail wire leads support a direct electrical connection below the mounting surface.
• Waterproof snap-on cover helps shield the socket when the pole is removed.
• Chrome-plated metal face with black polymer insert for exposed marine mounting locations.
• Fits 3/4 inch poles with a locking collar.
• Mounts with #8 screws, which are not included.

Compatibility and fit

This base is made for Perko 2-pin pole light applications, including many Perko all-round pole light series such as 1343, 1347, 1348, 1349, 1400, 1440, 1442, 1450, 1451, 1452, 1454, 1460, and 1470, as well as Perko 1612 and 1616 series bi-color pole lights. Before ordering, match the pole’s pin count, collar style, pole diameter, and base footprint against the existing installation.

Installation and setup

The base installs through a flat mounting surface and connects below deck through the attached pigtail leads. It is suited to stern, bow, deck, or gunwale locations where a removable navigation light needs a firm socket and a covered receptacle when the light is stowed. The three mounting fasteners should be selected for the boat’s mounting surface and sealed properly to reduce water intrusion around the screw holes.

Use cases on board

This base is a good match for boat owners replacing a worn or corroded two-pin pole light socket, updating a removable stern or anchor light connection, or restoring a trailer boat where the pole light is taken down between trips. It also works well where keeping the socket covered matters, such as open cockpits, splash-prone transoms, and deck areas exposed to washdowns.

What’s included

• 2-pin plug-in pole light base with pigtail leads.
• Waterproof snap-on cover.
