It is sized for power-driven boats up to 65.6 feet (20 m) and uses separate anchor and masthead circuits so it can be wired through a 3-position OFF\/ON\/ON switch for the correct running or all-round mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis style of light makes sense where a fixed pole gets in the way of a boat cover, trailering, or low overhead clearance at the dock. The base adjusts and locks through a 180° arc, so the light can be raised for use and folded down when the boat is stored. LED service life is rated at more than 50,000 hours, and the light carries a 10-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V LED anchor and masthead light with a 12-inch anodized aluminum pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal fold-down base adjusts and locks through a 180° arc for stowage and deployment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for power-driven boats up to 65.6 ft (20 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate anchor and masthead circuits for wiring to a 3-position OFF\/ON\/ON switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding base cast from enhanced 316 stainless steel alloy with stainless hardware at exposed mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED life rated for more than 50,000 hours with a 10-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis light mounts on a horizontal surface and should be aligned toward the bow on the vessel centerline so the light sectors stay correct underway and at anchor. The mounting layout uses two #10 countersunk stainless screws and a 3\/8 inch wire access hole, which keeps the wiring route neat through the base instead of leaving it exposed on deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a standard 12V installation, the positive feed should be protected with a 1-amp fuse and wired with 16-gauge conductors using waterproof marine crimp connectors. The separate leads for anchor and masthead functions make it straightforward to tie this light into a normal navigation-light switch panel on a small powerboat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fits well on center consoles, bay boats, skiffs, and small cruisers where a short fold-down light is easier to live with than a fixed pole. The 12-inch height keeps the assembly compact, while the locking base lets you lower it when the boat is under a cover, on a trailer, or tied up beneath low overhead clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anodized aluminum pole and stainless folding base are a sensible match for boats that stay outside or see regular saltwater spray. If you are replacing an older incandescent fold-down light, this unit is a better fit for owners who want lower current draw, longer service life, and a cleaner deck installation without moving to a taller pole setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Attwood Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023339876533,"sku":"QBP981493","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1329699_qbp981493.webp?v=1780191803","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp981493","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
