A 2-pin base should be replaced with a 2-pin base, and the 5° rake should match the pole and mounting location so the light sits correctly when installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and use\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the base on a solid, flat surface where the all-round light will remain visible and clear of canvas, fishing gear, outboards, and passengers. The base accepts #8 oval-head mounting screws, which are not included, and the pigtail leads connect into the vessel's navigation light circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a practical replacement for worn, corroded, cracked, or intermittent pole light sockets on trailer boats and small cruisers. It also suits new installations where a removable all-round light is preferred over a fixed pole because the light can be stowed away when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the slide cover closed whenever the pole light is removed, especially during washdowns, trailering, or storage. Periodically check the socket contacts, mounting screws, and wiring connections, since vibration and salt exposure can loosen hardware or cause corrosion over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52581876269237,"sku":"QBP305911","price":57.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1330381_qbp305911.jpg?v=1780201022","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp305911","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
