It uses a sealed beam head with lever-action control, so the operator can aim the light horizontally and vertically without stepping out into spray, wind, or darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis chrome 7 inch version is built around a brass searchlight body with corrosion resistant, splash proof construction, tin plated electrical contacts and wiring, and CE\/UKCA compliance. It is available in 12 V, 24 V, and 32 V versions, with beam candle power and wattage matched to the vessel electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe light is made for pilothouse, hardtop, cabin roof, and similar overhead mounting locations where the control handle can pass through the ceiling. It supports ceiling thicknesses up to 5 inches and gives the operator 380 degrees of horizontal movement and 70 degrees of vertical movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 inch sealed beam searchlight for scanning channels, markers, moorings, dock approaches, and nearby hazards at night.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLever-action pilot house control lets the operator aim the beam from below the mounting surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e380 degree horizontal movement and 70 degree vertical movement give wide coverage from a fixed mounting point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be set for continuous back-and-forth sweep or positioned manually with toggle controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome plated brass construction gives the light a polished exterior suited to exposed helm and cabin-top installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistant, splash proof construction helps the unit handle spray and wet deck conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTin plated electrical contacts and wiring help protect the electrical path in a marine environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits ceiling thicknesses up to 5 inches, which is important for pilothouse roofs, hardtops, and overhead panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable for 12 V, 24 V, and 32 V DC systems, so the selected variant should match the vessel electrical system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Perko 0314 searchlight is offered in three 7 inch chrome configurations. Each version uses the same pilot house control layout and chrome 7 inch head, while voltage, beam candle power, and wattage vary by part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe correct version depends on the boat electrical system already in place. Matching voltage is important for proper lamp operation, breaker or fuse planning, and replacement bulb selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0314C0712V: 12 V, 250,000 beam candle power, 100 W. This version suits boats with a 12 V DC lighting circuit and gives an approximate range of 5\/8 mile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0314C0724V: 24 V, 470,000 beam candle power, 450 W. This version suits vessels with a 24 V DC system and gives an approximate range of 3\/4 mile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0314C0732V: 32 V, 260,000 beam candle power, 200 W. This version suits vessels with a 32 V DC system and gives an approximate range of 5\/8 mile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the mounting position so the head has clear movement above the roof or hardtop and the lever handle has usable clearance below. The searchlight is a good fit for pilothouses and enclosed helms where the operator wants direct manual control from the steering station rather than a remote handheld control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the light is offered in several voltages, the selected model should match the boat DC system before wiring. The wattage also affects circuit planning, so the installation should use properly sized marine wire, overcurrent protection, and switching for the selected voltage version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis searchlight makes sense for powerboats, workboats, cruisers, and larger pilothouse vessels that need a controlled beam for nighttime navigation tasks. It is useful when checking markers, finding reflective aids, lighting a dock or mooring area, or making a slow approach in tight water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe continuous sweep function can help when searching a wider area, while manual positioning gives more precise control when the operator needs to hold the beam on a buoy, shoreline feature, or deck-level target.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perko","offers":[{"title":"12 \/ 250,000 \/ 100","offer_id":52581970510005,"sku":"QBP778363-V1","price":2214.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 \/ 470,000 \/ 450","offer_id":52581970542773,"sku":"QBP778363-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"32 \/ 260,000 \/ 200","offer_id":52581970575541,"sku":"QBP778363-V3","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1334822_qbp778363.webp?v=1780201907","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp778363","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
